Welcome to Lovewine

My name is Greg Love and I am passionate about wine, communication and enhancing relationships through exhilarating wine events.

Lovewine is all about better relationships, intelligent connection and how wine brings people together.

June 2011 Update

I have recently returned from 5 months in Burgundy, where I was reviewing the 2009 vintage and making over 100 films; that capture in detail the lives of many of the leading winemakers and their relationship with their terroir.

Great moments included filming for 90 minutes with Lalou Bise Leroy of Domaine Leroy, Frederic Mugnier, Louis-Michel Liger-Belair and dozens of other leading producers. My reviews and films will be available shortly on www.burgundylover.com

I have also captured the local culture, showing the Burgundians at work and play in films on the Hospice de Beaune 150th annivarsary auction, the Saint Vincent Festival celebrations, local gourmet food events and films on life in Beaune.

The wine book publishers, Dorling Kindersley also asked me to write a section on the great value wines of the Cote de Nuits for their forthcoming book: 1000 Great Wines, which will be published in October 2011.

I am also releasing an exceptional new leadership training course on " Living your destiny" in September 2011. This will be available as a one weekend seminar, or it can combined with a series of Burgundy masterclasses to form an 8 week "In Wine there is Truth" training programme.

Background

I moved to London in 1992 from Melbourne, Australia, leaving behind the world of big city law for adventures anew. After flirting with the world of film and television media recruitment, I decided I wanted to move to a front of camera and writing role, that would harness my passion for wine and food based hospitality, creativity and communication.

Since January 2005, I have been tasting thousands of wines every year in London and Europe, at a professional wine critic level, alongside leading tasters and critics such as Michel Bettane, Philip Williamson and numerous UK based wine writers.

I am self taught, having tested myself persistently from 2005-2011 against the best, which was a long and demanding apprenticeship, before moving into reviewing via the internet. From 2008 I chose to concentrate on the wines of Burgundy and Piedmont, with the odd foray into the Champagne, Riesling and new world Pinot Noir. I discovered, tested and established over years of professional practise that I had a capacity to understand and translate the subtle nuances of complex, single varietal wines.

I like to review wine from the ground up, which means investing time, expense and effort in understanding the vineyards, wine making techniques, cellars and the unique personality of the wine makers or owners, before offering a balanced opinion on the quality of their wines.

I created www.lovewine.co.uk in 2005 to harness my passion for delivering entertaining and rewarding tastings for both enthusiasts and corporate clients.

Happily, most of my original clients are still with me after 6 years and we continue to have fun doing business together.

To bring the wonderful stories of the wine world to life, I am also launching several new film based streaming video wine review sites in 2011, namely:

www.burgundylover.com

www.piedmontlover.com

www.rieslinglover.com

My motto is Come, Taste and See, so I hope you will.

Many Blessings

Greg Love
