What Is Wineblogger and How Can You Help?!

When Catavino asked me to add blogs to the wineblogger database, I thought, "Sure! This could be fun. I'm good at wine, foreign languages and basic database work, so this shouldn't be difficult." Nine months later, I realize that categorizing and imputing almost 900+ wine blogs is quite challenging, but there are ways we can all make this easier with a little teamwork! First, we need your help! There is zero money coming into this project, and we need all the extra support we can get! If you are fluent in a language listed on this site, become a Wineblogger Editor!! Job description: ensure that all blogs listed in that given language are active and relevant. Per month, this would take you less time than shampooing your dog or mowing the lawn. And in return, ...

Wine Bloggers Have No Credibility

Now that I have your attention, allow me to pose a question to you: what is this credibility problem with wine bloggers that everyone seems to be talking about? I'm asking because I know of very few instances of wine bloggers seriously doing anything "un-credible", and even less of them doing anything "incredible". Our strength comes from our numbers and the fact that we are all wine drinkers who have today a platform to share out thoughts, not because as individuals, we're doing anything THAT amazing. With over 1,000 wine blogs updating at regular intervals, only about 10 draw any interest for me personally. These 10 blogs talk about wines I can purchase, issues that matter to me, and display good, solid ethics. There are no Robert Parkers of the wine blogging world, and most likely, there never will be. There are too many of us, with too many voices, ...

What is Wine Blogging?

(Previously Published in La Rioja Alta's Boletín Informativo de Invierno 2009) It was in 1975 that a young wine lover wanting to express his views on wine searched for the easiest and most effective way to publish his thoughts. Being that computers were reserved for colleges and research institutions, he accepted a loan from his mother and began a small newsletter that he hand-mailed to a list of wine lovers he culled from local wine retail mailing lists. His goal was simple: to be a consumer advocate for wine lovers and an independent voice. His name is Robert Parker. Today young wine lovers enamored with the mystery and beauty of wine are also reaching out for the cheapest and easiest method of publishing their thoughts on the beverage that has gripped our imaginations since Roman times. The internet today provides tools, free of ...

Popular Wine Blogs = Credible Wine Blogs

Credibility is a strange term to me. When I sit with the word, the first feeling that comes to mind is trust. Am I trustworthy? Can people trust what I say as true and accurate? Can they come to me knowing that I will continually do my best to give them advice and information that is valid based on my experience or on the experience of others? Feels heavy, as if I have a thousand eyes looking at me saying "are you a good and honest human being"? I hope I am. I try to be. But I can't guarantee that I am successful everyday. I bring the term credibility to the floor today because many people, both in print and in the internet, have debated the credibility of a blogger. In short are bloggers trustworthy and honest? Are we ethical? Allow ...

Wine Blogger Survey Results

With the upcoming American Wine Bloggers Conference, it seems appropriate to look at who we are. Currently, we're working on a project that needed some stats, and I know lot's of you the wine bloggers are interested in the results. And considering that we're not professional surveyers, unable to professionally analyze the results, we kept the first survey simple and straightforward. However, I am very interested in the New Year of conducting a survey with a more complex set of questions that would allow us to look in more depth at the region and influenc, but that's for another day. On the other hand, leave a comment on this post if you want to help out putting it together. I have a 1yr contract on my SurveyMonkey account paid for, and I'll let anyone out there ...
