From time to time, we plan on publishing press releases, or any document we feel could benefit the wineblogging community as a whole. Here is the first copy and paste job from our friends at VinTank, a new start up of Paul Mabray and Joel Vincent. While we know they are both friends of the wine blogging world, their new business venture is still rather unknown to us. That said, they are asking all wine bloggers to participate in a survey to better understand who we are. Clearly, we can't argue with that, but we just hope they share some of the results with us here at Wineblogger.info. Please read the release and then
take the survey. It's very short and quite painless!
Cheers,
Ryan Opaz

In short are bloggers trustworthy and honest? Are we ethical?

1. Why do you feel wine blogging is not a fad? or is it?
A fad? I've been going for several years now, others for much longer, but it is only recently that the format has begun to be taken seriously by the wine trade in the 
1. Why do you feel wine blogging is not a fad? or is it?
Wine has always encouraged people to discuss, write, and share stories of their wine experiences with others. Blogging allows people to easily do this on a large scale with with virtually no overhead. People aren't going to stop communicating about wine. Will the medium evolve, change, and shift? Sure. But just as the web has matured, wine blogging will do the same thing.
2. What is one thing wine blogs get right?
