It may seem shocking, precious or counter-intuitive to think of wine as alive. But "RAW Wine" billed its recent trade and consumer fair as a celebration of “wines with emotion. Wines that have a humanlike, or living, presence.”
“Humanlike” and “emotion” may overstate the case. Yet few qualities are more desirable in a wine than a sense of it as a living, evolving, energetic thing.
RAW was a perfect opportunity to test out the proposition, as roughly 125 producers poured tastes of their wares in a cavernous, barely finished event space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Over the course of its two days, the fair drew almost 2,300 visits, the event organizers said.
