			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Found an amazing place right outside of Siena where they grow <a href="http://grapethinking.com/tag/sangiovese" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Sangiovese">sangiovese</a>, <a href="http://grapethinking.com/tag/olives" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with olives">olives</a>, fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts&#8230; all in balance or promiscuo as they say. Not a vineyard, not a farm&#8230; I call it a taste palace, maybe there&#8217;s a better name out there. I might work with them to install a major solar setup and some biohydrogen generating algae ponds. In my dreams, right?</p>

<p><!-- bubbleGUM-start --><font style="position: absolute;overflow: hidden;height: 0;width: 0"></font><!-- bubbleGUM-end --><span id="more-2272"></span>Welcome to the first taste palace</p>
<p>Finally found one after two months in this country</p>
<p>Ill hit you with the pomengranates right off the bat&#8230; boom</p>
<p>Apricots, japanese medlar, <a href="http://grapethinking.com/tag/peaches" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with peaches">peaches</a>, <a href="http://grapethinking.com/tag/pears" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with pears">pears</a>, plums&#8230; apples down there</p>
<p>Vegetable garden, <a href="http://grapethinking.com/tag/sangiovese" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Sangiovese">sangiovese</a> vineyard, olive trees</p>
<p>They make their own wine, they make their own oil. They grow all their own vegetables</p>
<p>Cabbage, carrots, onions, tomatoes, squash, zucchini, peppers&#8230;herbs, basil, salvia, thyme, rosemary</p>
<p>Pretty much got it all nailed</p>
<p>Thats Antonio, he&#8217;s the son that owns the place</p>
<p>We&#8217;re right aside of Siena, everbody knows Siena, I&#8217;ll show it to ya real quick</p>
<p>There&#8217;s Siena&#8230; haha&#8230; this is it&#8230; there&#8217;s Siena</p>
<p>But again, so we&#8217;ve got wine, we&#8217;ve got olive oil, we&#8217;ve got every fruit you can imagine, even pomegranate. Vegetables, herbs.</p>
<p>The only thing missing is what? Energy, right? Solar</p>
<p>Generate all this produce to sell back to the grid, generate energy to sell back to the grid. Bring people here&#8230; tourism. And not some pretentious bullshit where they come here and say&#8230; it&#8217;s spiritual&#8230; you&#8217;re gonna feel it, and feel god, and all that.</p>
<p>Come here and just eat the food, just eat it. See the energy and see the money they make&#8230; because it&#8217;s alot.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it&#8230; this is, this is it.</p>
<p>You start bringing these places, creating these praces, growing these places all over the world, and you&#8217;ve got a taste economy. You&#8217;ve got a transcendence from materialism back to a connection to nature becuase it makes people feel better, it makes them have more fun, it makes them more money, it makes the world healthier.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s land too, so there&#8217;s all this space to generate energy from that thing (sun). So weird how this camera makes the center black. Anyways, there&#8217;s a lot of energy coming from that down into all this stuff (vines).</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it. The taste palace</p>
<p>Welcome&#8230; to taste</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had a chance to visit Vinci, <a href="http://grapethinking.com/tag/italia" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with italia">Italia</a> this past weekend, the hometown of one of GrapeThinking&#8217;s great inspirations, <a href="http://grapethinking.com/tag/leonardo-da-vinci" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Leonardo Da Vinci">Leonardo Da Vinci</a>. Below, I share my thoughts and sights on his balanced way of thinking and being, leading to unmatched accomplishments in both the arts and sciences. Everything he did was in brilliant harmony, whether it was the science of painting or the <a href="http://grapethinking.com/tag/art" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Art">art</a> of engineering and exploring human anatomy. He was a true master of the mind&#8230; and body.</p>
<p>My theory is he used his infinite curiosity as a feedback loop to direct his body, hands, and eyes to work and operate in a balanced fashion (ambidexterity), which resulted in greater structural and energetic harmony between the two sides of his mind. This allowed him to have clear and simple insights into innovation&#8230;. lol, I know. Just being there filled me with a type of inspirational energy I&#8217;d never felt before.</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vitruvian Man in Vinci</span></p>
<p>The Vitruvian man</p>
<p>The essence of a human being</p>
<p>Practically you see he’s inside of a cube and a sphere at the same time</p>
<p>It was Da Vinci’s way of saying that the anatomy, the shape, the essence of a man, of a human , of a woman… is perfect.. it’s the essence of the universe… it’s the chiave, the key</p>
<p>It’s probably one of the most well recognized symbols in the world other than the Coca Cola brand</p>
<p>We are here in Vinci, <a href="http://grapethinking.com/tag/italia" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with italia">Italia</a>, which is the small town where obviously <a href="http://grapethinking.com/tag/leonardo-da-vinci" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Leonardo Da Vinci">Leonardo Da Vinci</a> was born and raised, and nurtured his genius</p>
<p>You see right here we’ve got the vigneto, the vineyard, and the olive trees</p>
<p>It’s what the locals here in <a href="http://grapethinking.com/tag/italia" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with italia">Italia</a> say is the key to their good health… <a href="http://grapethinking.com/tag/olives" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with olives">olives</a> and good wine</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Wedding</span></p>
<p>(Wedding cheers)</p>
<p>That’s pretty cool</p>
<p>We’re here at the house where Da Vinci was born.</p>
<p>The greatest genius in the history of humanity… LOL</p>
<p>Where he was born</p>
<p>And of course, we’ve got all the olive trees goin on down here</p>
<p>Lexus and the olive tree</p>
<p>Just had a wedding here</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Full Moon</span></p>
<p>And on the way back from Vinci, we’ve got a little Luna Piena, piena? Luna Piena? (Si)</p>
<p>Luna Piena or Luna Nuda… full moon</p>
