Festivity Drink: 2013 RABL Blauer Zweigelt Eiswein.


I don’t remember a name of Romanian ice wine, a type of alcohol beverage I tasted once and only. This drink of collected green frozen grapes was ice-cream on taste what I liked it. Original beginning of ice wine, which specialty in picking up berries in winter time, as many things comes from Roman Empire. Alas, that technology didn’t survive through times. That reappearance mentions in 1794 in Bavarian region Franconia. More interesting occurred in Dromersheim, which in Rhineland-Palantine, in 1830. Harsh winter brought farmers to decision that better leave grapes for feeding to animals. However, they saw in processing that grapes have very sweet must and farmers produced wine from that. Ice wine in German calls eiswein. Eiswein was limited in examples due to farmers didn’t use full efforts in collection of whole harvest (it changed with invention of pneumatic bladder.) and only six vintages existed. It was until 1961 when quantity of eiswein vineyards began to increase. In nowadays, it’s produces not in Germany, but in Italy, Romania, Czechia, France, Georgia, Hungary, Slovenia, Moldova, The United States of America, Denmark, Austria, Sweden, Spain, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Japan, and Croatia. The most countries use in production cryoextraction technology what is mechanical freezing. Genuine eiswein is making in natural winter condition and Germany, Austria, The United States of America and Canada are these states who do this.


I choose reality. I wanted only historical and the finest what means from Germany. Grievous, I had no possibility to get it. Other wish was in finding red eiswein, which I never saw for years until the last weeks in one of wine’s network shops. My journey began with losing of both back soles in difference of seconds on a way to bus stop and I didn’t decide to return for shoe changing though I had time as I saw later. My favorite sneakers which were bought somewhere fifteen years ago. There were model of season back then. I had in planning to move to far wine store as a first point. Suddenly, I dropped initial route and decided to visit the nearest wine shop in which Viktor liked to come until place improved itself by starting to sell more expensive drinks and Viktor stopped to like it. That venue warmed my alcoholic heart, because I found two more searching bottles for, probably, next festivities or whatever. One was champagne from bottles of only house and it had exactly I was looking for. I wanted to take it in absolutely doubtful other place, which is a mall, because it wasn’t nowhere else. The second was a bottle of American wine contained one type of grape and exactly this one, which I want though that bottle wasn’t in initial vision and it became an accident. I was ready to pick up anything what will interesting and not exactly American despite on festivity. The wine store had wonderful bottles as well as it had commies and all of them offered me else. A receipt of how to lose client.

I can drink as I like, but after I began to do workout with barbells and dumbbells, it turned my organism to that I should keep to European standard, because more glasses make an unpleasant influence on me as same rejection it does with sauces and sugar. Choice between have shape and be sexy. Alas, I can’t combine these both divine things. It brings me to point that I will miss mornings when I woke up on tile. Kissing this cold ceramics is magnificent experience. Certainly, I’m joking. It’s true. I dried a bottle, but because that’s mine enough and for pleasure. Of all cities in which I lost sobriety is the most lovable for do this is Paris. No other town brought me beatitude and charm as it disclosed in Paris evenings. In my list “to get drunk in..” I’m very curious to do it in New York and London. Enough of confession of alcoholic!

I lost one forward sole in wine shop. The second sole already was hinting on peeling off and it began on the back movement. I teared it off before occurring of inevitable. I put my sneakers with all components back in box. They possible for restoration by using glue. And that was done.


Austria is undisputed wonderful alternative for eiswein. Amazingly, this country isn’t so far from Germany. I had on hands 2013 RABL Blauer Zweigelt has 10,5% of alcohol strong. That little bottle in volume 375 milliliters was awaiting in basement whereas I took from there a roe’s shoulder for cooking. I cut it on seven pieces, which I salted, covered in bread crumbled and put dry dill everywhere on both sides. I wanted only natural. A dish was placed in fridge. I was in thinking on moment of using of balsamic vinegar, which bottle I didn’t touch for more two years. I came to add it in frying process. Reading myself on cooking of Italian Rib Eye, I changed my mind and added somewhere ten minutes later after the dish was put in the fridge. The balsamic vinegar was pouring bad what I mean that much dropped out from the bottle. I used tablespoon, which flowing was identical defective, and I changed on teaspoon and it was some kind better. I made balance spread of the balsamic vinegar. I put back in the fridge. I returned for other check in not many minutes after. I relocated meat for harmony soaking of the balsamic vinegar. I situated in the fridge and didn’t touch roe in the next few hours. Between that I had lunch, which I began a little earlier than usual, and ate a not big portion of buckwheat and two small patties. I more like to hunger myself in anticipation of big supper. It becomes greater by that. I was doing working out in the next and it included legs on which squats with barbell makes me to sweat the most than with any other exercise. After time with iron I had a piece of cottage cheese and shower visit. Then I stopped in kitchen on the nearest hours where before that I fed Knopka Sophie and two her wild children.

I cooked roe with tagliatelle. Eiswein was relocated in fridge to that time for getting a little more cold for reaching of right temperature. Sauce of my dish turned into liquid when I put on hot pan to where I combined butter and olive oil. Fortunately, meat soaked sauce and it fried. If I had more other herb spices as oregano or any other alternative – I would add it, because dish required. However, perfection with meat can get by eating it with vegetables as tomato what among of that I had.

Bright red was color and mixture was look of this eiswein. Characterless in sniffing. It hadn’t likeness of wine. Obnoxious getting of mixture in using was dense on taste. Taking more was meeting with acid effect and loud exclaim after that. It was kinda identical with Jägermeister, which is impossible for drinking. Using of RABL Blauer Zweigelt concluded to good knowledge on that German-speaking countries can’t make alcohol drinks. However, I still want to know German eiswein as do same with American and Canadian though the story of the last was in introduction by arrived German farmer, but, maybe, I wasn’t lucky and got an abysmal one ice wine. Experience of RABL Blauer Zweigelt is when you arrive in a third-world country or visit place with poverty, you enter in bar and give a lot of money for drink, which all local like as says barmen, but you get cheaply manufactured in fast terms muck (Italian classic Operazione San Gennaro is wonderful demonstration of such experience.). I didn’t see need to drink it all. I descended containment of RABL Blauer Zweigelt into sewer. Aftertaste was normality in feeling and I was in vigor when I was going to dispose from bags with trash by walking less one kilometer to the nearest waste receptacle. I returned in tower and aftertaste reminded on foremost dislike. It was before I came to deciding to make tea for ridding from RABL Blauer Zweigelt’s experience.


In this today is Fall of the Berlin wall, a characterizing in collapse of communism in the Eastern Europe. That was victory even it was accidental. Italian journalist Riccardo Ehrman asked question brought to drastic breaking point and destruction of all commies’ plans. Time was 18:53. I raise bottle (even though I despise it’s containment and, technically, I only have a cup of tea.) for Riccardo Ehrman, for press secretary Schabowski who was confused by information and whose said activated mechanism of freedom, for commies committed misfire that didn’t properly explain to own people on what need to say. I also want to drink for overall defeat on communism, which alive, changed forms and, unfortunately, it ascends somewhere.


I wrote three more additions, which had exigency, and there were editing of the big book. I still don’t know when will come for writing of final. I am a citizen of the world and I am a man with no home. I only see that I have no necessity learn Italian. No cheerfulness of their people will make to ignore their savageness on roads. Dolce vita can’t be possible by that. Moreover, there was no job what is, I think, to better. Choose between slavery on many hours and many days and office suffering for it usually requires knowing Italian and document on specialty, which I haven’t. I, as I planned before, want to visit Italy for one more and it will the last one time. What will also right is that when I will get a citizenship of France, I will thank that Frenchman whom I met in Venice. His silence stimulated and empowered me more. I will thank everybody who was against. I madly love France. No high taxes and no fifty minutes for “kencellation” of ticket to Rennes can’t deprive it, he-he-he. I think with smile on the last since that.


Meantime, I did year’s usual. It froze on 2:59:12 of local time in giving me a confirmation number. That was in October the fifth. My mood was paramount after I did it with having fear that I can late though it was only a second day for entry. I used in this way advice of my aunt, which was to other case, about what education choose in filling due to I haven’t any actually. I never ask for advice, I always on own by personal wish and circumstances. I never had teachers what actually sadly. Fingers of one hand will enough for say on people who gave me a good advice at minimum. I completed Green Card form. It passed without required reload as I usually did and wrote on the second. Maybe, it wasn’t in previous time. I used that available variant. I sit in patience when circumstance will turn and, maybe, America will accept it’s lost man.
