...and then a new foundation was born: #winelover FOR life.

...and then a new foundation was born:

#winelover FOR life.

Why?

Elisabetta Tosi's tweet explains it all!

Fight against something and we focus on the thing we hate. Fight for something and we focus on the thing we love.

Simon Sinek -> Follow him on Twitter!

Many of you already know that the #winelover community has a foundation - #winelover against cancer (you can learn more about it here: http://www.winelover.co/chapter-1) - and that we have been raising awareness against cancer (especially against breast cancer, as you can see in the picture above - our very first campaign in Sicily) for almost two years now.

Well, after seeing Elisabetta's tweet, I spoke with my Brothers-In-Wine, Magnus Reuterdahl and Ted Lelekas, to explain why it would be important to broaden the scope of our foundation (instead of being "only" against cancer, we would be FOR many things that would make the lives of #winelover-s better, such as helping people with disabilities, or donating to causes like the fires in Portugal for example, but also why it's important to focus on the positive side of things (again, Elisabetta's tweet says it all.)

They loved the idea!

So, I moved to the next step...

I talked to another Brother-In-Wine of mine:

Szövérdfi-Szép Zoltán and explained to him that I wnated to do the official launching of "#winelover FOR life" during his amazing event - "ROVINHUD Salon" http://www.salonul.net/en/despre.html to be held in November this year in Timisoara, Romania. He said that he loves me... and I said "I love you too!" So this is it... If you are a #winelover, you have to join us in Romania. Rovinhud in itself was already a must (you can see my article about the event last year here: http://thewinehub.blogspot.com/2016/11/the-rovinhud-salon-should-be-named-one.html)

and now with this very special addition?

You must be there...

#SeeYouInRomania!!!

The ROVINHUD Salon should be named one of the best wine shows in the world. Why? This is why.

This is going to be hard to put into words... But I'll try anyway.

• Let's begin with what it made so great for me:

I spent the last couple of days in Timisoara (Romania) attending the "ROVINHUD Salon", a wine event organized by my dear friend Szövérdfi-Szép Zoltán. In case you didn't know, the main reason for the existence of this event is to help people with disabilities. And guess what? People with disabilities "run the show" as well!

And what a fantastic job they did... I feel honored and thankful to have been part of this. I hope I'll be blessed in the future with another opportunity to be around such an amazing group of people.

You probably heard me saying this before, but I'll have to say it again: If you could see souls instead of bodies, you would be seeing me surrounded by the most beautiful people of our planet.

• And this is why it is also great for everybody else:

1) The entire profit of the event will be directed to support the young people with disabilities from the ‘Ceva de Spus’ (‘Something to Say’) Association, as they continue their work towards a more accessible society.

2) Amazing Master Classes: http://www.salonul.net/en/invitati.html

3) If you are a #winelover (and if you are reading this, most likely you are!), you will subscribe to their belief that wine brings people together. The "ROVINHUD spirit" wants to bring about a positive change in the life of the people with disabilities.

As I said a few days ago... I hope that wine will save us all!

Remember: Life happens. Wine helps.
