New Wine/ Running Blog! "Fueled by Vivac"

It seems everyone out there has a blog about wine, but what sets us apart is that we are runners! Sure you will still hear about wine and our winery here, but the focus is shifting to talk about the training we undergo for running marathons. This is a trials and tribulations of our families and our journey to get PRs or simply get out the door for a short run when the kids are screaming. We hope you will give us feed back, recommendations or just share your stories!

So as blog 1, lets do a little introduction. We own, operate and started our boutique winery (Vivác Winery) in 1998 in Dixon New Mexico. "We" are Chris and wife Liliana along with Jesse and wife Michele (that's me). Chris and Lili have 2 kids (boy:Maddox 4yrs, girl:Chablis almost 1 yr). Jesse and I have 1 child (boy:Denim 5yrs). All 4 of us run the winery and we hope the kids will want to be a part of it some day too!

We have all enjoyed sports of various sorts growing up, but started running as adults a couple years ago. The balance between work, family and weather seem to be too much some days, but we continue to battle forward. Each night we open a bottle of wine (or 2!) and feel the strain subside. The next morning, a little hung over, we strap on the running shoes and hit the road in shirts that read "Fueled by Vivac".

-Cheers from the Vivác Winery Family, now go for a run!
