Small Wonder

After sharing a bottle of Pinot Noir from the Central Coast with Johanna last weekend, I was intrigued when I saw the same grape from 41 degrees South or the Tamar Valley in Tasmania to be exact. Making Manchego toasts in the oven to my Spanish stew, I read about the neologism “anemoia”, as in nostalgia for times and places that you have never known, a concept that I experienced first-hand in Buenos Aires when thinking about Evert Taube and the 1910’s. Similarly, when living in Melbourne in 2008, I often saw the night ferries leave for Davenport, yet Tasmania has remained solely in my dreams.
