  1. Why do you feel wine blogging is not a fad? or is it?
    It’s not a fad. Nothing with real passion behind it is a fad.  The medium may evolve and change, but at it’s heart wine blogging is wine media by & for the masses. Once something like that has been liberated, it cannot again become contained.
  2. What is one thing wine blogs get right?
    Passion.
  3. What is one thing that wine blogs get wrong or need to improve?
    It needs to be more than what you drank last night. Have a voice, and have an opinion.
  4. What do you want wineries and MainStreamMedia to know about your blog?
  5. What message do you have for wine PR companies as far as interacting with blogs?
    Same answer for both of these - Interact with us. We’re not going away!

1WD Blog info:

Musician and wine consultant in the greater Philadelphia area. I hold the Intermediate and Advanced Certificates in Wine & Spirits from the WSET, as well as the Certified Specialist of Wine qualification from the Society of Wine Educators, and am a member of the Wine Century Club. I write wine mini-reviews via twitter at www.twitter.com/1winedudereview. I’m the author of How to Taste Like a Wine Geek: The 1WineDude Tasting Guide (available in printed and e-Book formats). I also write the 1WineDude wine blog, which offers an insider’s view of the bizarre world of wine, told accessibly from an outsider’s viewpoint.  In my “spare time” I founded the MTD Bass Enthusiasts network. And I like to shake my hiney.
