又是一年了。在2021年的最後一天，我有些話想說。。。

2021 has come to an end.  On this last day of 2021, I have something to say...

不知道大家是否有關注最近很火的NFT話題呢？ NFT指的是「非同质化代币 non-fungible token」。而这个Token是区块链上的数据单位，它是一种新形态的数位资产。那麼，基於區塊鏈技術所發展出來的NFT，和葡萄酒又有什麼關係呢？

Have you heard of a recent hot topic called "NFT"?  It refers to "Non-fungible Token". This Token is a unit of data on the blockchain, which is a new form of digital asset.  So, what is NFT exactly, and what does NFT have to do wine?  

這集是基於最近的一項研究報告。兩杯葡萄酒下肚之後，人的感官潛能居然被激發了！怪不得那麼多的藝術家都是酒類愛好者。因為對周遭的敏感度增加，他們創作出的作品也特別生動活潑、深刻動人。微醺之後，你是不是也覺得第六感特別敏銳呢？

This episode is based on a recent study.  Wine can stimulate one's sensory potential! No wonder so many artists are wine lovers. Because of their increased sensitivity to their surroundings, the works they create are particularly vivid, lively and profound. 

How about you?  Does booze also make you feel that your sixth sense is particularly sharp?

朋友們是不是有過這個疑惑 - “同樣一個產區或葡萄品種、同一個年份、甚至同一個酒莊，為什麼一瓶會比另一瓶貴好多呢？”  沒錯，這一集我們來聊葡萄酒的定價。

Have you ever wondered why one bottle of wine is so much more expensive than another，even though they are coming from the same wine region and made by same grape varietal?  Yes, let's talk about wine pricing in this episode. 

這一集聊的是波特酒 (Port wine)。這是一種加強型葡萄酒。因為它特別的釀造過程，波特酒通常喝起來甜甜的。而且，它和雪茄還是好朋友哦！週末夜晚，享受雪茄之餘，可以試試搭配一杯茶色波特。感受菸草和葡萄酒在口中混合後的美味～


In this episode, Im going to talk about Port wine. It is a fortified wine. Because of its special winemaking process, Port usually tastes sweet. And, it goes super well with cigars (Big smile on my face just thinking of the pairing ^^)!  On weekend nights, while enjoying a cigar, try to pair it with a glass of tawny Port.  Relax and feel the magic of aromatic sensation of blending the two in your mouth~

你知道搖滾樂手邦喬飛，流行歌手Pink粉媽，好萊塢型男演員布萊德比特，喬治克隆尼，前NBA明星球員Dwyane Wade韋德，美國前總統特朗普，還有中國大陸的名人馬雲和姚明有什麼共同點嗎？他們都有一個共同的抬頭，就是酒莊莊主。那麼你知道，這些名人為什麼會買酒莊呢？這集我就來聊下，名人買酒莊。

Rock star Bon Jovi, pop singer Pink,  Hollywood actor Brad Bitter, former NBA player Dwyane Wade, former U.S. President Donald Trump, and mainland Chinese celebrities Ma Yun and Yao Ming all have one thing in common, which is they all share the same title - Winery Owner!  So why these celebrities would buy a winery? Let me explain in this episode. 

最近葡萄酒圈有個新聞，而這則新聞大概也只有對葡萄酒特別關注的人才能看到。那就是《神之水滴》（大陸、台灣翻譯《神之雫》）這部漫畫又要翻拍成日劇了。為什麼說「又」呢？那是因為這部葡萄酒漫畫太紅了！2009年第一次被拍成日劇，而2022年又會再被拍一次。而且將由法國女星Fleur Geffrier飾演漫畫的主人翁 - 神咲雫！

There is a recent news in the wine circle, and the news is probably only for those who pay special attention to wine， which is the famous Japanese manga The Drops of God  (神の雫, Kami no Shizuku) will be made into a Japanese TV series AGAIN.   And this time, Shizuku Kanzaki (神咲雫) will be played by a female French actress, Fleur Geffrier.  How exciting!

這兩年，因為疫情的關係，絕大部分的時間我都是在家上班。多了時間陪父母和孩子，是幸福也是壓力。而且自從小朋友在家上課後，我的壓力飆升。當我感覺快喘不過氣的時候，我會放下手邊的工作。聽段音樂，開瓶葡萄酒，靜靜地享受和自己「獨處」的時間...

Ever since the beginning of this Covid-19 outbreak, I have been WFH.  Spending more time with elders and children is a blessing and a stressful experience.  At times while the children are home schooled, it could drive my stress level 10X!  And if I feel like I'm about to stress out, I will drop everything I'm doing, turn on the light music,  open a bottle of wine, and just spend some alone time with myself...
