In the final week leading up to the very first North American Wine Bloggers Conference (which I first mentioned here), I wanted to give you readers a preview of what you can expect from me over the next weekend:
Wine…insanity!
A vineyard tasting at Kick Ranch Vineyard right off the bat, live wine blogging with 14 wineries including Leon from Lionheart Wines, a New Zealand self-tasting and dinner with Gary Vaynerchuk from Wine Library TV…and that’s just the first day!!
Further sessions include prominent vineyard tours, dinner at Sonoma pioneers, Sebastiani, and the Luxe Sonoma tasting on Sunday, filled with many established and up and coming Sonoma vintners including Medlock Ames (whom I first encountered at WineTwo).
All of these writeups will come in bunches and be more on the fly than you might be used to seeing from me. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I enjoy writing (experiencing) them!
All of the wines that I will try this weekend at the WBC will be tagged in my WineLog with “WBC2008NA“.
