Field Blends is a story of the world as it is today, contemplation to the intersection of modernity, technology, culture, and the people, pasts, and communities that give each of us roots. In socially and civically trying times, Field Blends follows an odd group of twenty and thirty-somethings from around the world as they meander through Europe, dropping in and out of one another’s journeys, before returning to New York only to be faced with heartbreak that none of them expected.

Told through the eyes of those friends — and often seen through the lens of the wine they drink — in the tumult of love and self doubt, against the backdrop of an ever-changing world, Field Blends seeks reconciliation of life amongst the monuments, hideaways, and progressive thought of great American and European cities with memories of hometowns, mother countries, and family. It is both joyful of the world’s beauties and melancholy of its present failures.

An Asian couple sidled up to the bar, ordered something in English, and then resumed speaking a language that I couldn’t identify. It was something they alone could share. I thought that if Ash had been with us at that odd urban beach bar we might have spoken Spanish with one another, and then had something in that particular moment that we alone could share. And Simon could speak Swedish with passers by and Geoff could speak Arabic to nobody in particular and it would have been like the whole star-crossed world had come together in one beautiful Babel on the beach.
