Cantina Tramin in Alto Adige

I am in the middle of my article on this truly iconic winery in beautiful Alto Adige (Italy).

Yes, its been awhile since I have posted my articles. There is no excuse, except that the summer in the Berkshires, where I live, has been jam packed with the array of summer events that occupy my time, day in and day out.

Concerts at Tanglewood  (Lenox, Ma) have taken time away from my writing skills. The concerts included James Taylor, Joan Baez, The Indigo Girls, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Arlo Guthrie and Yo Yo Ma.Now that the majority of the popular artist series has ended, my voice at The Wine Hub will shine again.

Thank you for your kind emails asking me to get back to work.

This is a visual preview of my next article on Cantina Tramin...

My dear #winelover-s and #LifeLover-s of the world, we have a great cause to help: Dan Hegyi.

The Story

Inside Dan’s head things happen a bit differently sometimes.

Normally, any thought, any action is controlled by neurons. Neurons send out electrical signals from one to another, forming a communication chain. One neuron receives the information and it passes it on.

Inside Dan’s head, sometimes all of the neurons send out signals, but none of them receives them.

That is how an epilepsy seizure occurs. Dan suffers from this condition since he was 3 months old, and it affects his short term memory, attention span, problem solving and anticipation skills.

Although Dan’s IQ is high, his condition affects his ability to work.

Seizures are hard to anticipate. They begin with stomach aches, nausea, followed by a loss of consciousness, which leads to him falling down and injuring himself, wherever he may be at that time. During the seizure, his muscles spasm painfully and his whole body shakes.

Once the seizure has passed, Dan has difficulties speaking, he is dizzy and his vision is blurry.

The frequency of the seizures can be fairly high, up to three per day.

In 2012, during a seizure which occurred in the staircase of the building where he lives, Dan fell, hit his head and ended up in a coma at the hospital. A brain surgery saved his life at that moment, but Dan lost a portion of his brainpan and epilepsy continues to endanger his life.

Very recently, Dan found out that all these problems could be solved by a surgery performed at a hospital in Budapest. All he needs is money and courage.

A successful surgery would give back to Dan his health, dignity, safety and capacity to work.

Things would begin to happen as they should, inside Dan’s head.

#Winelover for Life:Luiz Alberto Has A Birthday Today

Those of us who have met Luiz Alberto know he has a goof heart and is overly generous with his feelings, so much so, that he has set-up foundations for those in need, whether it is for cancer, a homeless,penniless wine journalist who has hit hard times or any other human being in need.

I have known Luiz for many years and can honestly say that he does not have a bad bone in his body. Add, his wife,Nanci,to the formula and you have a dynamite, well-respected couple who, together, make those around them better.

Add Nanci's fabled cooking to the scenario, paired with Luiz's extraordinary wine collection and you have the best of both worlds--food-wine-and the love you can see in their eyes.

Enough of this tribute-a true first for me-

Just send Luiz Alberto Birthday Wishes, today- 1 July, 2017

The World is a Better Place, thanks to the kindness of Luiz Alberto's Big & Caring Heart!!!!!
