Welcome to LiveWine, a new blog about wine, about “living” wine and wine that is “alive.”
Wine is on everyone’s lips these days: there are more and more food and wine writers, journalists, and bloggers than ever before and food and wine travel — from the ancient mountains of Argentina to the bubbles of Champagne — is quickly becoming the hottest topic around.
So much is written about food and wine and the luxury of gastronomy and the wine experience today that we often forget that wine is a living organism. It is made from living fruit, grown in living earth. It is nurtured by a living sun by day and cooled the earth’s living breezes at night. Most importantly, grapes are grown and grape juice is turned into wine by living beings: women and men across the world, who pour their blood, sweat, and tears into wines that reflect their land, their traditions, and their national identities.
When we came up with the name of LiveWine for our blog, we wanted to remind our readers — and we hope there will be many of you! — that wine “lives” and that we “live” wine.
Our motto?
Live wine as you live your life for wine is living thing.
So please add us to your blogroll or just come by to visit every once in a while: we’ll be sharing some of our favorite wines, restaurants, stories, histories, and, most importantly, news from our favorite people who make wine and with whom we drink it.
