贻兄抬举，在其博客推荐了一下我推荐给他的钹酒（以下称Port），让我受宠若惊。想想不如就这个机会写写我和红酒的一些故事吧。
其实我接触红酒最初可以上溯到小学或者初中阶段，那时伯父作为一个称职的高级教师，品位何其高雅，但凡茶叶，酒类（其尤好竹叶青），摄影（伯父伯娘相传都是摄影家协会的）无所不好，给年幼的我留下了深刻的印象。于是那一瓶瓶红红绿绿的酒就在我脑海留下了很深的印象。
之 后，但凡有家庭聚会我都会小嚷嚷要喝红酒，于是伯父便会是不是拿出自己多余的收藏和我们这帮完全不懂酒的人品尝，当然那时2，30元的长城、华夏就是我心 目中红酒的全部了。虽然没有喝出什么品位，却把我的酒瘾给吊了起来。高中时我家成了朋友聚会大本营，幸而家里管教不严，我可以随心所欲地喝（北方同学不要 打我，我们南方的随心所欲地喝只是小打小闹而已），那时餐桌的主角仍然是啤酒，偶尔我会坚持买很便宜的红酒（因为我是大佬），可是因为大家都不会欣赏而作 罢。就这样在啤酒和红酒的更替中，我走完了中学时期，华夏长城的使命也算是暂时完结了。
作为外语学院的一名学生，我理所当然地染上了崇洋媚外的毛 病。于是大一大二的时候一旦有空，便把不多的零用钱贡献给云山咖啡屋。虽然我对咖啡的兴趣渐渐培养了起来，可是对我影响最大的还是那一次“品酒会”。记得 云山咖啡屋也是在我入学的那一年成立的，Raymond作为“技术总监”加盟，也就是这个我称之为“大一师兄”的人真正把我领入品红酒的领域。那次所谓的 “品酒会”是因为raymond从他相熟的酒商那弄到一瓶法国“拉菲堡”的“陈酿”，据闻当时市值800多（现在恐怕过3000了），于是我便兴冲冲地冲 去咖啡屋附庸风雅一下，也看看这瓶拉菲陈酿喝了是不是会飞天。当时一起品尝的还有一瓶华夏干红95年，大概70－80块（好像是），于是我学会了一样东 西，喝红酒要比着喝才分得出好坏。在场的同学大部分都是没有喝过红酒的，或者像我这样仅仅知道红酒长什么样的也大有人在，不过还好只有20人左右，于是我 们便还是很有滋有味地学着raymond咂嘴巴摇杯好好品尝。就是从那时我知道原来几百块的红酒和几十块的差别原来是这么大，大到喝完贵的就连碰都不敢碰 便宜的。一摇二闻三品尝这三个步骤以后，还要看看瓶身上写的这个酒的喝法，才能真正品尝到不同的滋味，红酒不知不觉便比其他酒上升了一个层次，因为背后的 文化沉淀太深厚，普通人是不那么容易懂的。
不仅仅在学校里，高中的一帮朋友也渐渐接触红酒，并喜欢上真正静下心去品酒而不是灌酒。共同的爱好使我们走得更近，于是大三大四我们的聚会都成了酒的论坛，做媒体的黄总是最有潮流触觉的，我从他那里学到很多不同的酒，但是有一种酒我却从来不知道它的存在－port.
到了大四，隔壁宿舍的KEN去给几个葡萄牙人做翻译，那些客户便把一瓶他们喝剩的port送给了他，我刚好见到，拿着瓶子研究了半天都不知道是什么，于是上网google才知道原来这种酒这么特别，可惜后来KEN把那瓶酒拿去贡献给老板了，我只有饮恨的份。
不 久之后，随着国内喝红酒的人越来越多，朋友家楼下开了一家所谓的红酒超市，我们一帮高中同学便成了常客，和“超市”老板伟哥越混越熟。一晚伟哥兴致大发， 拿出小半瓶黄色的酒，说请我们喝葡萄牙国酒，又很郑重其事地拿出冰桶冰了一会。我们小心翼翼，每人倒了一小杯慢慢品尝。冷藏过的液体流入口中，甜甜的，但 是有一种很难形容的香味逐渐散入口腔和鼻腔，那股冰凉过后酒精的热量开始散发，让我感到很舒服（因为苏总黄总说他们不喜欢），再一看瓶子，恍然大悟，啊！ 原来这就是port！于是在红酒中，port在我心目中的地位就此确立。
我觉得port是一种很奇怪的酒，虽然有红酒的温柔，但是又有一点烈酒的 热情，甜甜的后劲很足，因为酿制port的时候要加入Brandy增加酒精同时阻止糖份继续发酵，所以port可以说不是一种很纯粹的酒。不过正如大部分 人都喜欢混血的美女，port这种混出来的酒自然也受我青睐了。
毕业后的一段时间我还在做出国的准备，便去了澳门一趟，专程去买了两瓶 port（真的只是为了去买两瓶酒），回来和2H便消灭了一瓶。后来听说广州有酒博会，我又兴冲冲假装酒吧负责人去凑热闹。顺利抱回10瓶各种各样的酒， 包括Rose，雷司令等，自然，最珍贵的还是一瓶10年port，一直珍藏在柜子里面。
我和红酒的故事虽然没有很波澜壮阔，但是通过10年与红酒打交道，与其说我喜欢喝红酒不如说我喜欢品红酒，更喜欢酿制红酒背后那些对技术对天气要求得一丝不苟的人和故事。酒逢知己才是喝酒的最高境界，于我，只要有好友在旁，喝什么酒又有什么所谓呢？

在Q群收到这么一封信，笑中有泪啊，北京男人欲擒故纵，又打又疼，哪个女人不爱？

怎么着啊，出息了你，学会离家出走了我这才出了几天差，回家一看连大衣柜都清空了！可以啊你，怎么没想着把咱们家的组合音响电脑电视什么的也都搬走啊？就留一纸条儿就撒丫子飞奔，哭着喊着追寻自由去了，那他妈我成什么人了？到时候你爸问起来，我怎么知应他们？告诉说我媳妇跟着网友私奔了？要是他们信也行，问题是头天还好好儿的，这一转脸连人影都没了，我信街坊邻居也不信啊。

    你丫到底想怎么着，明说吧，想离婚也行，我也不拦着你，可你也得事先给我一准谱儿啊，起草一份离婚协议书什么的啊，难不成怕我不肯离？你也不想想，在外面腥风血雨折腾了小半辈子了，我他妈怵过谁啊我？平时说你任性，不懂事，耍小孩子脾气我那是疼你，为你好，希望你能进步，你丫怎么就听不出个好赖话呢平时我亏待过你么？

    我是不给你吃了还是不给你穿了我？我们同事老李他媳妇穿件深圳产的AZONA就美出大鼻涕泡儿来了，你丫一礼拜换一身秀水街范思哲还老不乐意？对门小刘他们家一个月才吃一顿红烧肉，咱们家有事没事就满大街溜小馆子，生活都小康成这样了，你丫还想怎么着啊？如你所述：“我觉得和你一起的日子已经没有了激情，变得平淡如水…”这话又是从哪儿说起的？非得是身上绑着TNT满世界搞恐怖活动或者兜里揣把小刀劫持国航飞机那才算是有激情了？我知道我不是个富有生活情趣的人，可是临结婚那点儿，同时追你的那个在迪厅放唱片的孙子，他有情趣他有激情，你那时候怎么不跟他走啊？哦，还是觉得我这样的人有安全感吧？按你的话说了，鱼你所鱼，熊掌亦你所欲那合着你欲到后来，我他妈是鱼啊还是熊掌啊？什么好儿都让你一人落了，那满大街的超龄未婚男女都是干吗吃的啊？别以为我追你的时候，多夸了你几句“即漂亮又有气质”你就把自己当七仙女儿了，明告诉你吧，我还真不是董永那号大言不惭吃软饭的面主儿。

    当初把你丫娶进门儿的时候，我曾经发过誓要使你过上让你们系全体女同学把眼珠子都羡慕红了的好日子，而且扪心自问，我也一直在为这个目标努力着，虽然还没完全做到，但至少迄今为止你们班那帮傻闺女肯定是羡慕不已，你丫也别不承认，上回校庆的时候，我还挺得意，没成想这还没冲出班级走向系里呢，你就跑了早知道，就不该让你丫上这破网。上网你就好好上吧，查点资料看点信息就行了，没事你进什么聊天室啊？觉得电影里寂寞男女网上相遇之后就恋到一块儿去挺浪漫的吧？可是！XX（该人老婆的名字）同志，别忘了你丫已经是嫁了人的主儿了，这么大年纪去跟那帮小雏儿含情脉脉谈情说爱你也不嫌臊得慌？人家都是风华正茂，青春活力的大好青少年，可你呢？除了这张长得还算顺眼的老白脸，你还能拿出什么来跟人家腻咕？前些日子瞧见你偷偷摸摸上网还死挡着屏幕不让我看，我就有点起疑心没成想，这还没等我开始调呢，你丫就先行一步。

    刚才我顺着你的BOOKMARK到网上瞧了一眼，那都是什么人呐？那叫邢什么的，自己活得都不像人样，你还指望他能让你活出个样儿来？别听丫撺掇你说什么“我们要好好相爱”，就那小瘦身板儿往那一戳就知道不是个能拖付终身的主儿。还有个叫什么白眉毛的，那一看就是个白血病患者，而且还是一盲流，你瞧丫写那东西，什么四大才子打麻将，搓麻就能搓出才子来？要真这样，社科院那帮人还不都成麻仙了！就这样还好意思往外发呢。就这么一帮人你也能死心塌地笑逐颜开地跟他们呲起来没完没了，你丫真让我失望透了。我该对你说些什么好呢？我深爱了15年的女同志。继续埋怨你吗？那会让你气上加气，一鼓作气忘却我们曾经一起拥有过的美好年华，然后死心塌地地跟着你那网上的小哥们儿吃饱了混天黑或者，我苦苦哀求你回来？答应说以后不再忙着工作，天天陪你谈心？我没法答应那种要求，我们要生存。

    XX，你也这么大人了难道就不能有点责任心吗？任性一辈子？逮谁跟谁撒泼打滚？那你要是能长成宫雪花那CAO形也行，坚持到五张多还能冒充纯情少女可你毕竟不是宫雪花，你的右眼旁边已经出现了鱼尾纹了，这你自己都没发现？不说了，好不容易平静下来，我怕我又要生气。等会儿Y（该人）过来找我喝酒，我大概会比较晚回家，你要是看见我的贴子，也别回，今天晚上别给家打电话了，明天再打。

    现在北京开始很凉了。我不知道你在哪个城市，刚才收拾了一下，发现你没有带棉袄，要是冷的话，就让那哥们儿帮你买几件暖和衣裳，他要是没现钱，你就给我打手机，我给你寄去，千万别病了到时候弄得面黄肌瘦病病秧秧的，我没法跟你妈交代

Still a month to go and I am already feeling laziness has conquered some parts of my body and diminishing the desire to do a big travel. I was supposed to be in Amritsar taking photos of the Golden Temple, but ended up idled in Chandigarh walking a lot on Sunday and had a invisible hair cut. Feeling so strange having to accept the fact that I will be vanished from this city in which I have so many happiness, melancholy, good friends, and so much more. What more to offer is to be in such a different world compared to home. To whole year is just like a dream, and now the dreamer is afraid to wake himself up.

Idled as me, I still made up my mind to do a long trip during Diwali as my goodbye trip for India. I am going to celebrate Diwali in Rajasthan (namely Jodhpur, Udaipur and Pushkar) from next Saturday to next next Saturday. It would be great to see some really sharp contrast on colors, customs and environments (in the desert). I am used to travelling alone and quite enjoy the freedom it gives me.

The house is getting better and better, with more serious conversations and happy drinks at the chilly dry nights. Felt really good after sharing my experience and feeling with Noortje, it's like a heavily armed soldier can finally take off the armour and go home to have a nice sleep without being worried the somebody would come to hurt me at night. I am developing a really well-rounded seld-protection system in India, and I think as my departure approaches, I should abandon it now/.

是的没错我是旅游狂人，我可以半夜3点爬起来，跳上一辆破烂的公车，4小时颠簸后我发现自己醒在shimla了。第二次来Shimla,我十分清楚自己想做什么和看什么，于是二话不说穿过寥寥几个rickshaw司机开始向上走。Shimla是Himachal的首府，是距离Chandigarh最近的邦首府（只有115公里，但坐车要3－4个小时）。整个城市依山而建，其中很多建筑是英国统治时期留下来的，半巴洛克，洛克克以及维多利亚时代风格的建筑兼而有之。Shimla在近代印度历史上非常重要，这里曾经是英国统治者在印度的夏都，印度前2任总统（所谓国家元首，只是仪式上的，没有实权）在这里住过，印巴分治的《蒙巴顿方案》就在这里签署，但是所有的一切都发生在一个地方，也就是今天我要去的－IAS ，Institute of Advanced Studies.


扛着一个大包，我爬上了山脊上的MALL，找到了Indian Coffee House坐下吃早餐。在印度所有大城市你都能找到这个茶餐厅一样的咖啡屋，因为ICH是甘地提倡建立的一个全国咖啡连锁。据说是为了让穷人（当然不是赤贫的那种）用小价钱也能喝上高品质的咖啡享受高品质的食物，所以这里的价钱都很低，低到什么程度呢，大概就是一杯咖啡1块多人民币打上，食物都是3，4块人民币打上，10块封顶的那种。不过当然分量和质量嘛，现在物价飞涨就不要计较那么多了，还可以。无敌风景＋咖啡＋煎蛋＝7元钱。（此公式可类推到：无敌风景＋饮品＋食物

IAS现在是印度最高等学府，因为只有博士（PhD）才可以来这里做研究，而且印度政府赞助所有费用。我在外面转啊转啊，拿着相机拍个不亦乐乎，后来转累了买票进去看内部。IAS内部现在还有作学术使用，所以只能在导游的带领下参观一楼的某些房间。不过不知道为什么我上楼也没有人拦我，所以我就错有错着，把整个建筑都逛了一圈，还拍了许多片子。IAS里面全部都是古董，包括那些灯和开关都有100年以上的历史了，内部全部都是缅甸柚木装饰，我看得眼都光了。柚木号称万木之王，特别是缅甸出产的可以和金丝楠木一样逾千年而不朽，不仅如此，柚木还带有一种淡淡的香味（比较好的才有），非常特别。偷偷逛了一圈在快到一楼的时候被发现了，于是赶紧下来，拍拍屁股走人，收获丰富。  中午十分，Shimla失去了早上的宁静，被拖家带口的印度旅游者占领了（这里是北印度最受印度人欢迎的旅游点，因为非常凉快），我赶紧吃了点东西撤退。今天也是印度传统大节日，Navatra，为了纪念打败斯里兰卡国王的RAM大神，全印度都会燃烧一个纸做的RAVNA（被打败的那个斯里兰卡国王，被打死了还要再烧），然后所有人都会点燃烟火和鞭炮庆祝把恶魔赶走。希望回去能够赶上参加焚尸的仪式。  

Mrs.Lobo家的自制烧鸡到现在回想起来还在留口水，中西合璧的FUSION吃得异常的爽，临走要拿走配方。饭后雪糕加自制蛋糕，配上各种印度甜食，喝点小酒，宾客尽兴，红光满面。饭桌上的谈笑让我想家了，上次全家团聚的记忆已经渐渐变得模糊...

昨晚ANGEL把游家Q群建了起来，才知道我们家都是些这么能折腾的主，大姑妈大伯父什么的都在网上，连11岁的小堂妹欣然也早早开通了QZONE分享刘翔的一点一滴。我们这一辈没有辱没我们这个姓，大家都到处漂着，嫣然在加拿大，伍陶在扬州，我在印度，ANGEL也正打算出去进修。虽然我们都在不同的地方，但是始终有一个家是让我们温暖的。我妈的饺子，三婶的粽子，阿爷的萝卜糕，这些都足以让游子们回家是尝到家的温暖。 广东人对家的热爱就浓缩到那一碗汤，一碟肠粉上，小小一道菜凝聚多少亲戚朋友的殷切关怀。

还有一个月就要回家了，虽然很不舍得这里，但家比天大，那种亲情岂是距离是时间能够抛弃的呢？愿在外游子都早日团聚

Now I have plenty of time and energy, sitting in my little roomm recalling what just happened a mere day ago, an experience full of excitement and chaos.

I think this is my 5th or 6th time in Delhi, so I feel really calm when the bus pulled over at Kashmere Gate ISBT. Pick up the bag, rub my still sleepy eyes, take a breath, and step out the bus. Delhi in the morning is chilly and dull, not many people walking around, of course the rickshaw drivers are always restless when they see us and think we are some kind of dump ASIAN travelers traveling in Delhi for the first time and will follow them if they can speak some of OUR languages. So you can always hear they say : "Konichiwa" or "Aniang ha sa yo" (means HELLO in Japanese or Korean respectively). Unfortunately, we are neither of the both, so they deserve our ignorance. Delhi Metro acts like a totally different role in Delhi, big and clean, a really cool place compared to the hot and jammed hustle and bustle 20 meters above. We take the metro from Kashmere Gate to Rajiv Chowk, which is commonly known as Conaught Place, in the search of a coffee house which is said to be classic, but like any other "breakfast" places in India, it is not open until 10:30. McDonald's is right opposite the road, so why not try it? Turned out to be really nice and clean, with friendly staffs, we happily killed 1 hour enjoying reading newspaper and chatting in the AC restaurant.

Then I propose going to Main Bazaar to finish my task from long time ago, buy a backpack. At 10 o'clock, the main bazaar opposite New Delhi Rail Station seems to be recovering from the previous day's excitement. People just started business, rickshaw drivers are still not in the mood of hunting their prey. I found my way to the shop I targeted before, but it was not open. I believe all the good shops will open in a irregular hour, so does this is one, but I am sure will come back later.

We also went to the "International Exhibition Center" of Delhi for Gandhi's birthday show, but it didn't look as tempting as the newspaper writes. With a few booths of Gandhi's life style and photo gallery, blood-donation, HDTV shows and traditional Indian dance. We had something to drink there and escaped to Dilli Haat, a theme park with shops and eateries selling stuffs and food from different states. Spent quite some nice time there, eating food of Nagarland, and west Bengal. The thali we had in Nagarland restaurant was close to Cantonese food so we happily gorged ourselves with more.First time in my life that I realized simply boiled vegetables can be so delicious. Stroke by the Delhi sun, we both didn't perfect when we decided to go somewhere else. A mall with full AC, as we have decided is the best place to go. So 15 minutes later, we were seen in Ansal's Plaza, a shopping mall with a department store inside.

The mall is quite big and filled with nice brands like Body Shop, Marks and Spencer, but I have to say again the infrastructure in India is so poor that we experienced 4 power cuts in 1 and a half hour. After all, it's a mall and we feel happy being back to civilization. A dinner was planned by our French friends but rather tried some Indian food than Italian, we went straight to Old Delhi, where most famous restaurants hide in the winding and dark streets, giving out tempting aromas. Karim, the most famous restaurant in India according to Times Magazine, is not easy to be found. But if you ask any one on the street, they will show you the correct way in no time. Karim is famous for its traditional Mughal royal cooking, mostly relates to BBQ meat dish, curry dish and Biryani, a steam rice and meat dish. We had Chicken Burra, Mutton burra, Chicken Stew, Mutton Qorma, seekh kabab, shami kabab and romali roti there, all flawlessly delicious. Such a nice meal cost no more than 6-7 dollars for 1 person.

Soaked in sweats and tired of the heat, we decided to skip the birthday party of some friend's friend's friend and headed back to Conaught Place, found a bar and had a nice pint of beer. What a life in Delhi! Delhi is fun, and Delhi is dangerous, it's all the feeling you can find in life.

Totally stunned by this movie. I am not an American but I can feel the pain and hate inside. Such a heavy burden if life is just about hate and anger.

Violence as a way of life.

See reality in your eyes when hate makes you blind

今天帮一个报纸做采访，在报社的墙上看到一句很好的话：
Never break 4 things in your life:Trust, Promise, Relation and Heart. Because when they break, there will be no noise but it pains a lot.

当然，要做到谈何容易呢？只有Trust和Promise是完全由自己操控的，但是Relation和Heart呢？

I have said goodbye to prob 30+ people and I really hate that/ I said goodbye to people I like, I don't like, or even I barely know.

All the farewell just make me feel more and more indifferent. It's time for a break and please let me leave also.

hooooosh!!
