有些人借酒消愁,而有些人以酒励志。对后者而言,酒就能启发人确定人生目标,激发向上拼搏的动力。本着这一精神,以下整理了葡萄酒世界里十条最鼓舞人心的名言,与君共勉。
1、There’s something involved in this that’s greater than we are. You can break it down to science and yeasts, but there’s something magical. Once you’ve experienced it, there’s nothing else you want to do. The glamour part has nothing to do with it. It’s that hard part. It’s spending time in the vineyards. It’s spending time with your hands, creating. It’s working really hard at something that you love. — Hardy Wallace, winemaker, Dirty and Rowdy Family Winery
葡萄酒中包含的某些东西比我们本身的存在要更伟大。尽管你可以把葡萄酒当做是科学和酵母创造出来的物质,它仍然具有某种魔力。一旦你品尝过葡萄酒,就再也没有别的什么事情让你想去做了。这不并不是由于葡萄酒的迷人之美,而是因为它背后承载的艰辛。是那些花费在葡萄园里的时间,是一点一滴的亲手创造,是因为热爱而付出的辛勤耕耘。——哈迪 华莱士,Dirty and Rowdy家族酒庄酿酒师
2、The elevation is so high, no one’s grown grapes there before. The wind from Antarctica is so cold. The soil is rather difficult. All the elements are against you. But it was the dream. You need one of those things. You need to think you’re ten foot tall and bullet proof. You need to think nothing can go wrong. — Erica Crawford, Loveblock wines of New Zealand
这里的海拔非常高,在此之前从没有人在这里种过葡萄。而且来自南极洲的冷风也不利于葡萄生长,土壤条件恶劣。所有的自然因素都不利于酿酒。然而,这就是梦想。为了实现这个梦想,你需要把自己想象成一个10英尺高的巨人,并且无坚不摧。你必须意志坚定,没有什么不能克服。——埃里卡 克劳福德,新西兰Loveblock酒业
3、I think people are hungry for authenticity, as it pertains to wine or clothing or experience. They want authenticity. I believe in my heart that the natural course of evolution is a movement away from the industrial experience toward something that’s more authentic. – Matt Licklider, co-owner of LIOCO Winery
我认为人们对“真实性”有一种渴求,无论是对于葡萄酒还是服装,亦或是人生经历。人们需要“真实性”。我内心坚信,自然进程的演变是与工业实践分离的,它趋向于某种更真实的存在。——马特 力克里德 LIOCO酒庄共有人
4、I would stay [in the newsroom] until 3 am “in case something happened.” But I mostly had nothing to do between 1 and 3 am so I used that time to write. And I chose to write about food and wine. Along the way I carved out a role for myself. – Eric Asimov, wine writer for the New York Times
以防突然事件的发生,我通常会在编辑部待到凌晨3点钟。但大部分时候,从凌晨1点到3点之间我都无事可做,于是我开始利用这段时间写作。我选择了关于美食与美酒的主题来写,也是在这一过程里,我为自己塑造了一个身份。——埃里克 阿斯莫夫,《纽约时报》葡萄酒作家
5、I love it when someone comes in who’s self-conscious about loving sweet wine. I love turning them on to an amazing wine that surprises them, for what it is and because they like it. They come in with the perspective that they’re not sophisticated about sweet wines, yet they’ll enjoy one of the more sophisticated wines on earth. — Maximilian Kast, Wine Director at Fearrington Village in Pittsboro, North Carolina
我喜欢看到有人出于本能的热爱甜葡萄酒。由于这份热爱,我乐意为他们展示一款令人惊艳的美酒,给他们惊喜。他们最开始喜欢甜葡萄酒的原因并不是因为它复杂,然而他们却懂得享受这个地球上最复杂的酒之一。——麦斯米兰 卡斯特,Fearrington Village酒水总监
6、I don’t know why but I love this kind of project, when it’s a little difficult and when you have a history. The beginning of the story of viticulture was in the Middle East, and it was a different generation than the science and logistics of today. My passion is to go into the past to make wine. Wine is something cultural, not only something to drink. I always try to find the identity of the place. – Stephane Derenoncourt, international wine consultant to Château Marsyas in Lebanon and Château Bargylus in Syria among many others.
尽管我不知道为何,但我热爱酿酒这个有些艰难并且具有悠久历史的工程。葡萄酒栽培最早起源于中东,一个与今天的葡萄酒科学和流通相去甚远的时代。我热衷于从古时的酿酒传统寻找方法并继承。葡萄酒不仅仅是一种饮料,更是一种文化。我总试图找到每一个葡萄酒产地与众不同的地方。——斯蒂芬 德勒农古,国际葡萄酒顾问
7、We don’t do ratings because they’re the opposite of empowerment. Ratings say that you can’t trust your own palate. — Alan Kropf, founder of Mutineer magazine
我们不对葡萄酒评分,因为这是与自我许可相违背的。“评分”好比在告诉你,“你不能相信自己的舌头。”——艾伦 克洛普弗,Mutineer杂志创办人
8、Wine is this spot between the center of the earth and the center of the universe, and there is something that’s happening with or without us. We just happen to be a gentle participant, or just an observer. — Hardy Wallace, winemaker, Dirty and Rowdy Family Winery
葡萄酒是地球中心与宇宙中心之间的一个连接点,在这之间发生的事,我们或许亲身经历,或许并未可知。我们只是谦逊的参与扎尔,与旁观者。——哈迪 华莱士,Dirty and Rowdy家族酒庄酿酒师
9、Our goal is to inject an element of novelty and renewal into channels that have remained unmodified for ages. – Stevie Kim, Managing Director at VinItaly International. Kim brings an outsider’s freshness to wine marketing with disruptive ideas like HACK WINE, a 24-hour non-stop marathon that will take place on March 1 and 2.
我们的目标是往亘古不变的渠道中注入新颖而变革的力量。——史蒂维 金,VinItaly International总经理
10、There is constantly somebody who’s making something, whether it’s music or art or wine, that pushes the edges of what was previously thought possible. And in doing that, if the person makes something that’s fundamentally good, it drives the parameters of what is good and makes them a little bit wider. – Len Rothenberg, owner, Federal Wine & Spirits in Boston
无论是在音乐、艺术还是葡萄酒的领域,古往今来,不断的有人付出和创造,打破固有的疆界。人们在尝试的过程中,发现的根本上好的东西保留下来并加以推广,从而推动行业进步。——伦恩 罗滕贝格,波士顿Federal Wine & Spi
