Thinking back on our 3 years of blogging, from Ruarri’s First Post and all his amazing storytelling on wine as the elixir of life and a unifier of the world, to Jake’s wizard tech guides, to Brad’s millennial generation expose, to Meg’s wine-your-diet, to my rants on sustainability and spirituality, to all the other amazing content from our various contributors, we’ve created a dynamic vortex of ideas.

We’ve woven it into the core values of economic, social, and environmental health in an effort to exemplify its unifying power. The GrapeThinking passion has always been to create a sustainable world, and we feel the time is now to grow from our wine roots.
