You Have to Love This...

You have to love what you do

Behind the bottles of wine and the glamorous events, there are people people who spend the whole year working hard to create something good, something that matters.
But the truth is, not every grape becomes a good wine. Even with all the passion, care, and knowledge in the world, nature sometimes decides otherwise.

Being in the Vineyard — Where the Real Work Happens

Let’s be honest: working in the vineyard isn’t as “cool” as pouring wine at tastings or hosting guests in the cellar.
Yet I’d still rather be out there among the vines. That’s where I feel alive where I try to understand how to work with nature, not against it. How to listen to it, to support it, and to find a rhythm that leads to balance and good harvests.

The Future Lies in Working with Nature

More and more winemakers are turning toward organic and biodynamic farming. And I truly believe this is the direction we should be heading — even if it demands more work, more sacrifices, and carries more risks.

Bodó Judit from Bott Pince whose voice always dissolves all my doubts about this profession once said:

I’d rather take the risk and do everything I can for the vineyards, even buy the neighboring plots, just to save them

I think that’s admirable. And maybe that’s exactly what we all should be doing.

Learning to Respect the Work

Work isn’t something to avoid it’s something to respect.
Because when you respect the work, the land, and the people around you, you slowly start to change. You grow. You become a better human being. 

I'm a little tired of superficiality and don't want to belong to such a community, so I'm creating my own.

That’s what I want to be a good person who pays attention to nature, the environment, and others. That’s why I stay. Because despite the doubts, deep down, I know this is where I belong. T

The Joy of Creating with My Own Hands

Every time I feel like giving up, the same question comes to mind:
What else would I do?
Where would I go? What kind of work could ever feel this real?

Then I realize I’d miss it. I’d miss the work itself. The feeling of creating something with my own hands, even when things don’t turn out the way I planned.
You can’t change the world overnight, but you can do small things every day that matter.

So I stay

Despite the struggles and the challenges, I’m still here.
Tending the vines. Because this this is what I want to do.
