I love wine. I talk about it, drink it, learn it, buy it, cook with it, attend wine events, and go wine tasting whenever the occassion arises. If you know me, this is no surprise.
This weekend I'm representing a client at Eat, Write, Retreat in Washington, DC. This food blogging conference is teeming with brilliant bloggers who generously lend support and interest to the ideas and aspirations of one another. As a "work in progress" blogger, I couldn't help but pick their brains from a personal standpoint. How did they get their blog going? What makes them tick? Do they get that nervous feeling when they share personal details to the online world?
Over a glass of -- what else -- wine, the lovely blogger behind Eat. Drink. Smile said to me, "Well, what do you love?"
"Wine."
"Write about wine, then!" she said.
"But there are too many wine writers," I retorted. I am, of course, always making excuses for why I can't blog.
Another great blogger who writes/photographs Eating is Art said, "But not from your perspective. You could write about wine within your own life."
We spent a little longer chatting about my maybe-blog, and I decided I'd give it a shot. I already sort-of blog, but it's floating with no identity. I love wine, and I love to share the experience of it with people. So I guess I'm out of arguments.
Welcome to J.Love's Wine (yep, I know it's my third "reinvention," and I'm fine with it).
