from the heights

Social life in Santa Catarina in the summer doesn't just happen on the coast. Entrepreneur Roberto Chavez is an example of this life exchanging the island for the mountains. Last week he received people from all over the state in São Joaquim, where he maintains the D'Alture winery with a festive dinner at the charming Espaço Vinópolis, in the city center. An evening of launch of four new labels, including refreshing sparkling wines – 2013 vintage of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc – ideal for this season. High altitude wines from our mountains are very good on the market.

 

Sun and sea

Former president of the City Council of the Capital, César Faria, wants to return to the council. But I saw justice. And who says no!? The way everything ends up in pizza, he is quite capable of singing that old hymn composed by the pianist Mirandinha: “I'm going back, to my land of sun and sea”.

 

blame me?

I'm beginning to think that it's not the state government's fault or the various construction companies that started, abandoned and went to court regarding the contracts for the old bridge and the new airport in the Capital. It's the former governor Hercílio Luz's fault, who lends his name to the aerial entrance and the “closed entrance” to the Island.

 

X of the question

Justice froze the assets of businessman Eike Batista, his two children, current and ex-wife Luma de Oliveira. They can write that one or the other will end up opening their mouths... and when they do, it's pure nitroglycerin.  

 

US$ 3,0

It was at 2.75 to the US dollar just this week. On Calçadão da Felipe, the “zomi” of the money changer Magrão, between purchases and sales, have already rounded: it is 3 by 1.

 

rich mouth

State deputy Marcos Marcondes has everything and he's not prose. To a friend he confessed that working in the Legislative Assembly “is the most beautiful thing in the world”. But really beautiful is the strength that his PR maintains with Governor Raimundo Colombo. He alone indicated more than 62 names to occupy positions of trust.

 

closed gate

President Dilma announced this week, in order to get along with the PMDB, that the ministries that fit her as a share, will be filled, as it is called, “closed door”. It means that in addition to the Minister of Mines and Energy, for example, all state-owned companies linked to this or another ministry will also belong to the party. This dismantles the nomination of the PT from Santa Catarina to some federal agencies in Santa Catarina.

 

star rises

Friend and faithful squire of the Vice President of the Republic, Michel Temer, former governor Paulo Afonso Vieira begins to be seen as a possible collaborator of the second federal level. He can change Eletrosul's board of directors for the electric sector holding company, Eletrobras. Or get even better where you already are.
