  1. G-Eazy x Bebe Rexha -> Me, Myself and I Edvard Grieg's -> Solveig's Song Me, Maself and I like this song When I was a young boy and far to young to be allowed to drink beer a nearby brewery did a nice TV spot: Now I am older, I would be allowed to drink beer but I do it rarely because a null alcohol politic at job. But what I do is to listen to the full version of Solveig's Song nowadays. One of the best melodies ever made. A bit more people than our family orchestra, but we are not too bad either.

  2. Yay. Someone else who likes wine. Ill admit, I have only been drinking wine for about 7years. I started appreciating wine more and now love it since I've moved to the Western Cape Of South Africa, which is our wine country. Living in Stellenbosch It was like being surrounded by amazing wine farms. The Majority of them producing Exceptional wine at very decent prices. I prefer bold, heavy flavourful reds. Shiraz/Syrah being my favourite, especially a spicy one, but I also like Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Pinotage, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Malbec, Sangiovese, Tinta Barroca and Touriga Nacional and good red blends my favourite being a Bordeaux Style, or a simple Shiraz/Mourvèdre/Viognier or a Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz or a Cape Blend (it contains Pinotage). DO NOT GIVE ME MERLOT! My number 1 wine, (in my humble opinion) is Simonsig Tiara, a Bordeaux style blend https://www.simonsig.co.za/wineclub/product/tiara/ Followed by the Simonsig Mr Borios Shiraz https://www.simonsig.co.za/wineclub/product/mr-borios-shiraz/ For white wines, I prefer a woody, buttery Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer and Riesling, all of them very chilled... I currently have a good selection of Sweet wines, most of them Noble Late Harvests (I do not know all the varietals used in them), and also a few port style reds and Cape Vintages. One of my favourites is Four Paws Picatso. it is not cloyingly sweet, has a very rounded finish with nice acidity and lingers for a while... And then... there is Amber Forever. The only other woman that I have ever loved (other than my mom and sisters) From Muratie Wine Farm her story... During the 1940s, when Muratie was owned by George Paul Canitz, the novel Forever Amber was published by Kathleen Winsor. Set in seventeenth-century England, it told the story of the orphan Amber St Clare, who rose through the ranks of British society by sleeping with increasingly influential men (King Charles II among them). Canitz insisted (almost too emphatically) that his fortified sweet wine was named after this fictitious character but the truth is that the renowned painter and worshipper of wine, women and song had an Amber of his own. She was his model and muse and her picture hangs in the Muratie cellar to this day. ‘To happy days and glorious nights, Forever Amber,’ was his famous toast.
