I’m not sure why, but people tend to assume I’m American, but Golly’s Wine Drops in a UK wine blog. Os Vinhos http://osvinhos.blogspot.com/ is a Portugese blog I don’t think I saw in your list. It does have a ‘translate to English’ option.

Cheers

it’s interesting…I can only say that for me the weekend before (22-24) would be better but if it’s only for me…

hey dnab (or Douglas not sure which you prefer)

the idea is that wine bloggers from across Europe gather together to get to know each other, chat, talk about wine, help each other out, and maybe plan for the future (where we take over the world, of course)

Chech out the link to Catavino.net where most of this is being tracked. I am organising it with Ryan and Gabriella.

The proposal is a two/three day weekend event at the end of the summer (29-31 August) in Rioja as it is reasonably central and we have connections. After that, who knows.

We will launch a specific site for this very soon so we can see who is coming, what we want to talk about, what tastings we can organise, etc.

Keep an eye on this site as I'd love to have you along.

Does it sound interesting?

no problem at all, particularly for the Irish bloggers who are a rare species indeed! See you in August?

It’s very kind of you to point people our way, Robert! Thank you too for putting your energy into the wider concept.

great news. I think there used to be a UK Wine Bloggers site that had about a dozen sites listed, but I’m not sure it still exists or how up to date it is. We certainly could do with being a bit higher profile.

good luck with InterWined and thanks for the link

Thanks for the mention.

Jacob and I have added you to the blogroll; we're keen to support UK wine blogs (there seem to be only a handful).

Also, I notice that you live in South London. We at InterWined cross the north/south divide. Jacob lives in North London and I live pretty close to you in the South.
