How I came to consequences with Taittinger Brut Reserve.

I arrived in Poznan for get room and find job, but I bought a beard trimmer. A city is wonderful for coming as a tourist while soul rejected to intention to stay for half of year. I was scheduled to connect with contact at eight of evening. I didn’t see point for begin that in moment I was drinking wine in hotel’s room. I was firmly kept in mind that I must go with trying to the first of alternative variants, which called me and showed signs in country’s flag everywhere since I moved to Poznan.


I stopped in the hotel in which cleaner exists. She even changed a towel, which I hanged on hook. It was in the last my full day in Poznan. I decided to get entertainment by visiting city’s cathedral. I moved outside of center while I still was among eye-pleasant architecture.


Poznan’s cathedral is a brick building what makes a unique charm while it contains familiar elements in inside as organ over main entrance and plentiful decorated screw stairway for priest’s performance. A cathedral doesn’t show wealth everywhere. It has in some statues and a closed room, which decorated in gold and can see through crossed cage. There I didn’t get “church tiresome” as it was with me in Italy, because it’s Christian building wasn’t similar in design. Moreover, I was excited by glass puzzle, which image is behind of the organ – such things makes more to experience past. I made usual observation and I was looking on everything. This building reported through a picture showing kneeling John Paul II who visited the cathedral in June 20, 1983. I saw his beautiful made statue, which is not so far, after I left the cathedral – this fighter with communism deserved it.

I saw a confession room over it were installed red and green lights what caused inner smile. No one of them was lightning. Maybe, a priest moved on lunch or take a cigarette or on vacation.

A place in front of benches where happens rites had different kind enclosures when one wooden colored in dark leaf was open on the left. It didn’t mean that I can come in while I did usual as entered to there and started to look on square installation contained golden statues. No so big time later a cathedral’s worker came out from a left door and he saw me. He came to me and pleasantly and with a smile said on Polish an obvious thing. I apologized and walked out from there.

I could visit a crypt, but I was supposed to pay a small amount money. I didn’t do that, because I didn’t see that I’ll see worthy and I wasn’t interested in tombs of unknown for me people though I could do that from nothing to do.


Close to the evening, I once again found reason to leave the hotel for visiting wine shop in Avenida. I was strolling near of Kaiser’s Castle, which I saw many times in these days. Then I recalled how I was mesmerized by appeared snow in November, which I was watching from it’s windows. The castle hadn’t magic on me in summer. Poland is a country with a powerful economy and it’s future is be among the best. However, live in ideal states isn’t for me and I couldn’t stand in Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Canada by reason that nothing historical interesting and hasn’t common with my spirit. I could stop in the Great Britain for some time, but it requires a document that I worked somewhere for the last half an year. Maybe, later.


Coming to Avenida mall revealed that I was visiting other place two times before in which I bought Bulleit Bourbon 10 Year Old and the beard trimmer and it is name is Stary Browar (The Old Brewery). However, I was in Avenida, because a bus station there. How many things I knew in these days. There in the biggest Poznan’s mall, I found a lonely drink shop Dom Wina (The House of Wine), of company existing since 1996. It hasn’t exciting choice as my long wanted to buy in Greek wines contained bottles with young ages and I checked Israeli wines by seeing familiar names, but inner thought said that I don’t want it today. Long thinking and touching bottles ended on buying of a bottle of Taurasi Reserva, which from Italy.


I didn’t need in smartphone anymore. In these digital days, it’s dated thing to call for rent room/apartment and find job. I was returning in past by doing that, because people didn’t move to future.


On my way to dark territories, I saw same Polish custody worker who could pronounce “good day” and had dysfunction to say “thank you” in previous time. In that time, he retorted to every who said Polish “good day” when I was going to stay only that. I had feeling that I should be silenced, but I wasn’t. He was rude again. I was the most likeable guy for him. The Polish custody worker looked on papers, he raised his brow, which was part of his impression to quantity of stamps. He said “okay” in Polish. Later, when I was waiting, he entered in that premise. I looked on him, he moved his sight away from me.


It always wonderful when you still have a child inside you. If decades ago you could be mesmerized by vast quantity of toys in respective store when I was in that effect by seeing vast choice of alcohol drinks. I never saw a big variety of whisky with a big price. My heart is always burning in this moment. I saw Pommery, Taittinger and wishful bottle of Piper-Heidsieck. I didn’t buy the last by concluding “not today, my love”. I want to believe that it will later in this year. Taittinger Brut Reserve was my then current choice.


I returned in tower. I fulfilled myself by lying on a bed and drink champagne with very stinky and dark yellow French cheese Munster, but then I decided to do the best things in the world by taking sit on my big armchair in front of computer.


I opened Taittinger Brut Reserve and I already wanted to do same as it was with Dom Perignon and Ruinart. It had a big bitterness in sniffing. Nevertheless, I began to use and I could finish a bottle, which kinda fitted for definition “drinkable”. I would dried it again if I would had nothing for satisfy my alcoholic soul and heart. Dry bitterness in using and a big one came to the end. Later I was getting acid taste after swallowing completion, which killed for be as acceptable brut champagne. Aftertaste sent me in fantasy land.


I put eye on Italy (even despite I was contradictive to myself not so long before and it wasn’t at first time.), because I found that there doesn’t require a paper for worked N-months. Therefore, I need to find job there.
