“The new French wine exists because the struggle to revive has finally been won, and then some. The future isn’t about trying to preserve the past so much as to find wisdom in it and build something even greater. This current generation is arguably the first one to move forward without phylloxera’s shadow hanging overhead. They have come up without being weighted down by the sense of loss that defined previous generations. Or rather, they have opted to revive the best of what came before, to repair many bad decisions made along the path to recovery, and to forge something entirely new.”
― Jon Bonne, The New French Wine: Redefining the World's Greatest Wine Culture

“Like a wind crying endlessly through the universe, Time carries away the names and the deeds of conquerors and commoners alike. And all that we were, all that remains, is in the memories of those who cared we came this way for a brief moment.”
