Hello Fellow Wine Lovers! I am so excited to reach you all 
With love and appreciation!
I read this book as all you know called the Road to Burgundy by Ray Walker!
Well, an amazing book indeed and while reading his book, as I am part Romanian/German and grew up on my grandmothers vineyard I recognized the old methods that the French monks used in Ray’s book as it was identical to what my grandmother uses in Romania. Anyway, my partner and I did our research on Romanian wine and found that it is on the same parallel as Bordeaux, Tuscany and all the other big players. We also found out that the Romania has a terroir that is top 10 in the world! We found out where premium sites are located and learned about the Romanian economy and opportunities available as it joined the EU in 2007. Ok, now here is the fun part… are you ready?
While doing our research we stumbled across another premium wine maker in Romania.
He owns an establishment there so we just sent him a random email with no expectation on his business.
Turns out, not only does he have some land available which are already producing with grapes currently being sold but he put us in touch with the IT person to get funding & GRANTS for setting up our own world class winery in Romania! How cool is that!!! Now, all we have to do is head over, secure a site & equipment, find great investors, and get production going by the end of the month LOL! Now, the season may be over but my grandparents already have high quality wine stored in barrels. And let me tell you, if you have not tasted good quality crafted wine from Romania you haven’t tasted wine. Most wines give me headaches but not hers. She has older vines, concentrated flavors, and everyone in her village doesn’t know what she does but try to copy her methods as hers is known as the best! And as a humble wine maker myself… I agree. This is why this journey just gives me so much Energry, so much Passion, a Purposeful Fueled life because the Whole world needs to taste this wine, not just my old village. Stay tuned, let it be said right here, I am going to make the Bestest wine that ever came out of Romania. Phew felt good to say that!
So, here we are now. Selling all our belongings and jumping ship on a new adventure in a new country
to learn and apply the art of wine making. I wanted to share this story for anyone who is working somewhere
where they want to feel more appreciation, for the entrepreneurs to follow their dreams, for the
ones that are staying safe - to take a leap of faith and enter in the abyss of unlimited opportunity.
Am I a wine Oenologist? - No.
Have I studied Viticulture? - No.
How about wine terminology? - I’m learning fast!!
BUT, I have been exposed to 50+ years of wine making since I was one with the good old tradition way just like the French did way back in the 19th century. So, considering all of this I would say I have just a little step ahead of Ray Walker where he learned from books and look at him now, making premium amazing wine! And if you haven’t heard of him yet you will shortly and guess what, you will hear about me too!
Here we are on our European adventure. A little bit nervous and a whole lot of excited with meeting our new contacts in Romania and setting up our business proposal with our consultant for EU funding. We definitely want to share with you on the excitement and hey you never know who is out there, am I right? We have certainly had our fair share of challenges but as they say this too shall pass. Zig - PMA - Positive Mental Attitude and I say a little biz smarts will get you a long way.
Anyway, just reaching out with again no expectation and letting the universe play this as it may. We have sent our proposal for funding - if anyone is interested in joining this adventure and being a part of SOMETHING SO BIG, and SO DIFFERENT, and TALK ABOUT TIMING of entering we are ready and willing to share with other wine lovers. I truly love vineyards, and wine, and the industry and I am reaching to like minded people who are just as crazy to understand this
Please feel free to email me for anything. Maybe you know of some people there, or Germany, or Austria that we can reach out to? or here
With love and light,
In friendship,
Nicky
