Wine and money

11 October 2020, by Andrzej Szadkowski

The title of the last issue of the Polish wine periodical Ferment laconically indicates,  wo liegt der  Hund begraben. Well, wine and the whole culture around it are nothing but money. The entire superstructure is about the relationship between people, and those in the final see summarise in profit and loss, in earning to survive, […]

Where does the winey world come from and go to?

11 October 2020, by Andrzej Szadkowski

In my old head, because of the emptiness that prevails, complex solutions will never be nested. It must be piece by piece and as thoroughly as possible, because once it becomes more difficult, it will wrap and spin and the brain will not withstand it. Unfortunately, aspiring to stay at a candlestick and within one […]

Barbarian in the garden

11 October 2020, by Andrzej Szadkowski

All this discussion reprehends some to condemnation, pushing others to eternal glory. I think it’s not worth anything, also because it is not entirely clear who both groups are. Fortunately, human reality is so receptive that it can accommodate everyone, and the world will continue to develop in its way what I would rather call […]

I would like to drink real wine

10 October 2020, by Andrzej Szadkowski

And immediately I am retracing an advertisement for “a real Italian coffee“. Such ads bemuse us. A subliminal transmission shoots into cells, seeps the pores of the skin, interferes with behavioural algorithms. Then some manipulators try to persuade us that it comes from the Supreme Force. The same occurs with wine. By becoming a person […]

Robert Parker Jr – Summary Attempt – XII

1 October 2020, by Andrzej Szadkowski

So to conclude these rather cursory considerations, which (if time is enough) could someday become the core of something bigger. Reality must be divided into pieces and described separately, and then combined in a cause-and-effect chain. Yes, you can emotionally create the poetry of a film or a book, as Nossiter does, but making such […]

Robert Parker Jr – Summary Attempt – XI

27 September 2020, by Andrzej Szadkowski

I dream of such a discourse in which the word sign would fully correspond to the described phenomenon, that is as if defined by linguists, signifiant  =  signifié. Then we would altogether avoid misunderstandings, and by telling each level separately, we would create a clear picture of reality in our heads, which would pretend actually […]

Robert Parker Jr – Summary Attempt – X

26 September 2020, by Andrzej Szadkowski

Jonathan Nossiter helps me in my reflections on Parker. His approach to wine, however, seems to me too poetic, too high a rock in the clouds, because things are, in my opinion, much more straightforward. After all, everything can (and must be) reduced to the simplest elements. Culture too often hides behind juggling words of […]

Robert Parker Jr – Summary Attempt – IX

18 September 2020, by Andrzej Szadkowski

It seems that the most difficult is just in front of me. In the first entry in this series, I wrote that there were many levels and that each of them should have been treated separately to get the description straightforward. Describing the individual stories, however, it is easy to lose an overall plan. I […]

Robert Parker Jr – Summary Attempt – VIII

17 September 2020, by Andrzej Szadkowski

When the UK Decanter admitted Robert Parker Jr to his Hall of Fame for 2020, they wrote in a well-crafted online article: „He has received the highest civilian honours offered to individuals in France (an Officier of the Légion d’Honneur, bestowed by President Chirac), Italy (a Commendatore in the National Order of Merit, bestowed by […]

Robert Parker Jr – Summary Attempt – VII

14 September 2020, by Andrzej Szadkowski

Some have long dreamed of globalisation, McLuhan wrote about the global village back in the  1960s. There have been euphoric moments when globalisation has been confused with progress, forgetting that both concepts are merely categories of world view and realistically exist only in human heads. Progress, however, has an evaluative tinge. Still, globalisation is a […]
