I was wondering what I would think when I landed here in Italy. I was of course full of anticipation and even a tad bit excited, for me it was a new way out, not in the sense that I was looking to escape but I was empty professionally and at a critical point in my life, I was running on fumes. I found solace here and a chance to grow, not only Sangiovese but as a person and a husband,( not that I’m not great at that already). I needed to fill this gap that is inside me and has been for a long time. Could the Winery be the answer? now the question is, can I get it done? I asked that question because the one block I see is the language barrier and the blending of philosophy’s, I think even if I was fluent in the language I still would be only half understood because its not so much the language but how our internal thought process is and how Americans see the glass, half empty or half full. I think we see it half full and some Italians see it as half of a glass. I think they are programmed through so many generations that there is no time, no rush and no urgency, It is the way I feel that the government controls the entire society, they make the people wait thus creates a people thinking that this is the norm and that’s how they live there everyday life, until they get behind the wheel and they throw caution to the wind and drive all there aggresions out, on the open road banging off your back bumper.
Looking from the other side!
