Wineries and Social Media
9 Dec 2008Here are a few more details on the talk I will be giving tonight for London Bloggers at Ember. I am probably not going to show these slides, they are more for my reference, but they might jog some memories after the fact! I will post the text of the presentation after the event.
Below you will also find a list of the wines we will be tasting, and the links to the winery blogs that supplied them for you to taste.
There is an added incentive to come along. There will be wine bottles to win for those who dip a toe in the wine conversation! Read on.
The wines we will taste tonight are:
- Vivanco Viura/Malvasia 2007, Bodegas Dinastia Vivanco - courtesy of thirstforrioja.co.uk
- Riesling Kabinett Trocken 2007, Weingut Clauer (and if you are really nice to me, a taste of Riesling Auslese 2003, Weingut Clauer) - courtesy of winzerblog.de

I'd love to but can't - running it single handed, so talking, pouring and chatting. If I can get others to, I'll try, but will try to get some #ttl action going

What a good little slide show. And the prospect of a fruity little Malaysian appeals to me… looking forward to it.

“There will be wine bottles to win for those who dip a toe in the wine conversation!” - WHAT! I wonder how they're going to implement their wine packaging?
