Hi Jessica,
I enjoyed meeting you at the conference (I was with Nancy Brown). It’s fascinating to find out that so many wine writers are also wine bloggers. I didn’t realize the extent of this until the conference. I find your musings on the two roles very informative, and look forward to spending more time on various blogs. I must admit that this is the first time I have ever left a comment on a blog site.
Cheers,
Kate

Thanks for the props Jessica! Blogging is better than writing because you can use four letter words. Writing is better than blogging because you can buy food when you get paid.

Agreed. I like the balance myself too. And you are one of the leaders of writing about how wine makes you feel. Mentioned that in my review of your book on Vinography. There’s a line there that I always think of, it’s a winemaker in Burgundy, I believe, leaning his head back on an imaginary pillow after taking a sip of the good stuff. Or maybe it was your head? Anyway, the image stays with me.
Cheers

Hi Jessica,

Great post and I’ll share kidneys (or livers) with you anytime You make some interesting points here. The more I write about wine, the more I find that issues such as climate change, the meaning of organic/biodynamic and so on, engage me more than the lifestyle puff, even though the latter may be necessary to put bread (and wine) on the table.

Bloggers certainly are stirring the pot and I’m a huge believer in the power of the Internet, having had a site now for more than 10 years. I love that nanosecond connection with readers that you just don’t get in print. It keeps my grounded and slakes my intellectual thirst.

Cheers,
Natalie
