I don't think it's any surprise to you fine readers that I'm a big fan of Bordeaux and even work for the
Bordeaux Wine Council (CIVB) as one of
Le Wine Buff,
video broadcasting each week from my vino-abode. Well the kids at
Enjoy Bordeaux (
Twitter) have hatched an incredibly rad new plan to create some fun on the interwebs, with oh, maybe a prize that might require a flight or two, woot! I don't want to spill alll the deets, but suffice it to say: it will be fun, it will be a contest on their
Facebook page launching
11/15/10 (where you currently can see the
awesome documentary short of our
BDX trip in June), the prize is flippin' awesome and you can get some of the gist by checking out my personal addition to the shizzy after the jump. You'll even find some wines taking home a
WKBadge for their efforts. Cheers!
So as it turns out, New York is a pretty damn cool place! My first time in NYC was filled with as much sightseeing, vino networking, shopping, eating and drinking as one could possibly fit into 3.5 days. I was in the city for the first time on another adventure as Le Wine Buff for the Bordeaux Wine Council (CIVB)'s Enjoy Bordeaux campaign, on a fully paid business trip. While the point of the trip was to attend the Snooth & Ziff Davis TechEnology event and talk about the full awesomeness of affordable Bordeaux wine alongside my LWB colleagues, I was determined to experience as much NYC as I could handle...and I succeeded.
