内森·扎卡里 (Nathan Zachary) 写道从青少年时期在家庭聚餐时偶尔被提供一杯葡萄酒开始,我便随意地享受着葡萄酒,但我是相对较晚才开始热衷于理解是什么让葡萄酒成为最特别的饮品的。我在2022年获得了WSET文凭,此后转向学习葡萄栽培和酿酒化学学位,以追求我的终极目标——以可负担的价格生产令人兴奋的葡萄酒。

空想性错视还是别的什么?

我紧紧握着公文包以平息焦虑,走进展览大厅。当我扫视房间时,我看到许多常客以他们典型的形式出现:

       阿尔诺·C·索维尼翁 (Arnaud C. Sauvignon),姿态挺拔,承认自己在等级制度中的顶端地位;

       雷吉娜·霞多丽 (Régine Chardonnay),以她友好而熟悉的魅力赢得了房间里每个人的心;

       亚历杭德罗·莫纳斯特雷尔 (Alejandro Monastrell),展现着不屈不挠的强度,要求在场所有人的注意;

       弗蕾雅·雷司令 (Freya Riesling),因其活泼外向的天性而立即被认出。

虽然我在粗略一瞥中没有发现,但我仍然希望她今晚在这里。因为这个活动不是在伦敦、巴黎、东京或纽约。不,这个活动是在雅典。

走过前几张桌子,我认出了来自葡萄酒世界较不知名地区的其他客人:

       来自斯泰伦博斯的萨斯基娅·皮诺塔吉女士 (Ms. Saskia Pinotage);

       来自门多萨的劳塔罗·马尔贝克先生 (Mr. Lautaro Malbec);

       来自瓦豪的安妮卡·G·维特利纳女士 (Ms. Annika G. Veltliner);

甚至来自克罗地亚的雅德兰科·波希普先生 (Mr. Jadranko Pošip) 今晚也在这里!但当地人在哪里?我们所有人都远道而来到这里,当然那些居住在希腊的人也能来,对吧?对吧?!

当我继续漫步并与其他客人交流时,我的紧张情绪开始消散。尽管从忧虑到平静的愉快转变,我确实开始怀疑是否还能再见到她。 

自从我们在锡夫诺斯岛那家古雅的海滨咖啡馆纯属偶然地初次相遇以来,已经过去了好几年。她从伯罗奔尼撒半岛的曼蒂尼亚 (Mantíneia) 家中来这里度假,而我正试图忘记圣托里尼街道的狂热喧嚣。我坐在小酒馆的桌子旁,注意力在我的书和从南爱琴海涌来的温柔海浪之间交替。当她从我面前经过时,我的兴趣完全转移了。她的魅力源于她优雅的举止和步伐中的活力之间的对比。我想更多地了解她……

等等!当我在回忆时,我几乎错过了他们从另一个房间走进来。希腊人毕竟在这里,并且愉快地向许多第一次见到他们的客人讲述他们的故事:

       阿特拉斯·西诺马夫罗 (Atlas Xinomavro),宣称自己是皮埃蒙特之王的后裔(尽管我们知道并非如此);

       约尔戈斯·阿约尔吉蒂科 (Yiorgos Agiorgitiko),以他的柔和和亲和力吸引着我们;

       (我仍然对他名字中的冗余感到好笑;这无疑是他父母给的一个顽皮的礼物。)

       埃莱尼·阿西尔蒂科 (Eleni Assyrtiko),解释着在她风吹的圣托里尼家乡所需的葡萄栽培技术。

看到这三个人,我现在更加确信她今晚在这里……某个地方。当我走过熟悉和新面孔时对他们微笑,我坚持寻找她的路线。哦,我多么想年复一年地重新联系。看过一些摆放着开胃小食和其他开胃菜而不是无数待品尝葡萄酒的桌子,我第一次看到主厅外有一个阳台。我走到外面享受雅典永恒美丽的微风和太阳开始昼夜循环下降的色彩。

终于,她站在栏杆旁,远处是雅典卫城的雄伟壮丽。我立即认出了她,部分原因是她尘玫瑰色的肤色。我以为她那天在海滩上只是在阳光下待得太久了,但不,这似乎是她天然的肤色。她今晚也穿着同样的香水——那种以茉莉花和非洲紫罗兰的表现力丰富的花香调,以及白安提布甜瓜的底调迷住我的香水。但最重要的是,是她的气质暴露了她。既精致又充满活力,她的二元性是亚里士多德观念的原型,即整体可以远大于部分之和。

当我走近时,她转向我,带着羞涩的微笑,显然记得我们之前在一起的时光。

       "如果这不是可爱的泰娅·莫斯霍菲莱罗女士 (Ms. Theía Moschofilero),"我回应她的微笑,仿佛那是一个口头 问候,"再次见到你真是太好了"。

海湾闪闪发光的绿松石色海水,点缀着遮荫树的小而如画的海岸线,缓慢的节奏中一个人最大的决定就是如何最好地度过几个小时的闲暇时光。我今晚可能在雅典这里,但每当我们在一起时,我立即被带回到锡夫诺斯的那个海滩。
