  Halloween blind wine tasting   Good evening and happy Halloween. Just came home from blind wine tasting party that my friend threw for her friends.    All bottles were covered with black silk when we arrived. She gave to each of us a paper with description of all things Wine has.   It was my first time to experience something like this. I did have wine tasting before but not as an exam. After tasting we had to write everything that we taste and smell and what kind exactly we were tasting. It was challenging I must say and specially with the first bottle.   She had six different wines for us to taste and describe. After two hours we were done with all bottles. We all had different answers. I was very curious to see the names of the wine we wore tasting and describing.   Some of our answers were correct and some were not but we all had an amazing experience and lots of laughs.    Would definitely recommend this charming evening to anyone who ...

  Spanish wine   Good evening my time. How are you all doing this Saturday night. Just came home from a restaurant and decided to share with you something interesting that happens to all of us ....I’m sure.   As I was seated at my table I asked my waiter for a glass of red Napa Valley Cabernet wine but to my surprise I was told that the only wine they were carrying is from Spain.   I was ready to just ask for Sparkling water with lemon since I never had Spanish wine before and I am very particular when it comes to wine. To my surprise sommelier came and insisted on trying something very similar to what I asked originally but it would be from Spain.    To be polite and a bit curious I agreed to taste it. Just from the smell I knew that I was about to try something very delicious and after I tried I fell in love with this amazing wine from the country that I love very much.    As I was driving home I was smiling to myself and  thinking. This is...

    Visiting MET museum.   Good morning.  Sitting on the bench in the Met Museum in front of one of my favorite paintings.     Many painters have my love for their art work. Like Pablo Picasso and Mark Chagall, Pieere Bonnard, Claude Monet, Renoir and many other incredible talented people. Sometimes I wish I can meet them and get to know them.    Coming to a museum after their doors were closed for so long makes me feel so lucky. Every time I enter this building in New York City I feel like coming back to my childhood home except my family is not greeting me.    The energy of this magical place makes me super relaxed and amazingly happy. I find it very therapeutic. Tretykovskaya gallery and Pushkin museum in Moscow gives me same welcoming feelings.    I consider myself very lucky from experiencing such  positive emotions that I receive every time I come into the MET.    It is very interesting how the ambien...

  October in New York   Good afternoon. How are you all today? Hope your are as good and as positive as I  am. We always have to look at  all thinks in our life from the bright side each and every  day.  This way life will feel and look easier during this  unusual year and in general.    New York City is beautiful as always but not as crowded as it was before. 90% of  the time it feels like it is the weekend,  Much less traffic and much much less people on the streets.    Restaurants are made up amazingly with an outside seating, Makes me feel like  I am in Paris because almost every  restaurant has an outside big area for people to enjoy outside coffee or a meal.    It adds a charm to the city. I always complained to my self and to my friends that  New York City is amazing except  lacking of outside restaurants seating   My wish was granted. It is very interesting how life is. I got wha...

    The debate of energy.   Good very late evening. How are you all doing?   Not sure if you all were watching the debate this past Tuesday but I sure was. Being independent I was watching two men in their late 70s running to become a president of this country.   I am not going to talk about who should win and who shouldn’t. I would like to talk about the difference between two people with different energies around them.   President Trump presents himself very energetic, direct, full of fire personality. Where Joe Biden seems slower, weaker energy without the edge that I would like to see it in my future president.    The difference between the two of them are very noticeable to me and I am sure to many others as well since we are watching both of them for the last year on our TV.  President Trump was a businessman before becoming a president and was very active and working hard and we can see it in his body language while Joe Biden all ...
