My first meeting starts in 45 min. and… It’s friday!

I don’t know why (probably because of my writing) people thought that I’m in some kind of war with Hi5. Well… no. In my world it’s called “freedom of speech” and sharing ideas – this will always have positive effects and at the end of the day we are all… friends

NOTE: Picture taken yesterday showing me, Tavi (ARBOinteractive) & Gabi (Boom) waving at all our blog readers.

This post is dedicated to Zoso – man, please put me back in your reader

Flu.ro is the latest project started by Medianet – the site is targeted on women and sold by ARBOinteractive. Today they launched a blog and a viral Valentine’s Day movie for the online industry presenting Zoso (Vali Petcu – one of the most visited bloggers in Romania) and Calin Fusu (CEO at Neogen).

“Happy Valentine’s Night” (to quote the special Love Plus campaign running today on every website) and enjoy the movie:

Don’t try to reach me on the 18th (I know It’s on a Monday) – the wine lovers will celebrate a special event dedicated to one special person (and very dear to me) and it seems that someone managed to bring from Australia (and for the first time in Romania) a bottle of Penfolds Grange.

I’ve met the Australian wines for the first time last summer (thanks to Carl Reh Winery) and a few days ago at the official wine tasting – I recommend with a open heart the Penfolds – Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz and the Penfolds – Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz.

The Penfolds Grange bottle scheduled to be opened on the 18th will be quite an experience as this wine is extremely rare – only several of these sets are known to exist worldwide.

Some people say that Penfolds Grange is “the ultimate collection for any serious wine connoisseur” and probably this is the reason why the latest two collections were sold for 185.000 eur – approximately 30.000 eur for a 1951 bottle.
