So, as you know, we here at the WBC Scholarship are all about getting a diverse group of bloggers together in Walla Walla to have some great wine, learn a few things, and have a great time. As you may have read, before & after the official conference, there are excursions to the Yakima Valley [...]

Happy New Year! Boy am I glad 2009 is over. While there were some fabulous times last year, the last few months were pretty wretched for me. Today is 1/02/2010 however, and as a palindrome, I’m thinking it’s good luck. To kick this year off with a bang, I’m here to announce the 2010 Wine Bloggers [...] Haber Family Vineyards, which sits high atop Howell Mountain, near the village of Angwin, was founded in 2004 by Ron and Sue Marie Haber, a couple of summer refugees from the East Coast. My blogging friend Melissa Dobson, of Melissa Dobson PR & Marketing, was kind enough to arrange a bloggers tasting day up on the mountain. Sue [...] A Cellar Rat! When I first met Alan Baker, aka @thecellarrat, I was in my first year of making a mess wine at Crushpad.

I have been drinking this or that from Argentina for several years, since it’s a great value, but I must admit, I didn’t love it. That is, until the good folks at Benson Marketing and VineConnections put together a blogger tasting to introduce us to their selections from [...] It’s the day after the WBC, and my trusty drinking buddy Megan (@sonadora) were wandering around Napa Valley, eager to make some new discoveries. As luck would have it, we were personally invited to a Bloggers Day at Hall Napa Valley, a fairly large production facility, in St Helena. Little did I know, I would [...] It’s Sunday, the last day of the Wine Bloggers Conference. I’m exhausted, but I knew that this was a meaningful day since the breakout sessions were happening. Why the meat of the conference was on Sunday morning after 3 days of wine events seems like poor planning to me, but I’ll address that in my [...] So here we are, leaving the CIA on the second day of the conference. We decided to keep our Bus 4 shenanigans going, so we all piled back on and were excited to see where the day might take us. Soon, we learned we were to lunch at the nearby Cuvaison. Unfortunately, upon arrival to [...] Where does the time go? The Second Annual Winebloggers Conference has already come and gone, and I am left wondering “what the heck was that bus that rolled over me “.As one of the voices behind the curtain of the WBC Scholarship, and as a huge cheerleader, proponent and fan of the WBC, I am [...] |
