Novel, I know. Awhile back, I had this
idea of defining a
wine blogger. So, I started a site. I tend to buy and start sites when I get an idea, and sometimes, I even get so far as creating the site itself. Wineblogger.info was one such lucky idea. In the beginning, it was meant to define a "wine blogger" and then go on to list wine
bloggers, growing endlessly. It was designed to be simple, straight forward and hopefully, useful. Though I'm really not convinced it is, yet.
Then, about 8 months ago, I
wrote this post for
Catavino.net, my main wine blog. Robert McIntosh, my wife, Gabriella, and I got a bug in our bonnet, as it were, and committed to doing the
first wine bloggers conference in Europe. Time moved on, and before we knew it, there was another
wine blogger's conference, but this time, for the
USA. I have to say, I'm proud to be a small part of this. They both have yet to happen, but they do indicate one thing, wine blogging matters, if only to the ones doing it! Both conferences aim to validate the efforts and strides we are already making.
So why am I rehashing stuff you probably already know? Well, the main idea behind this blog is not so much to be about wine, but rather wine blogging.
Tom already is our defacto wine-blog blogger, and I make no claims of knowing half of what he does about wine
marketing. He does cover blogging a lot, but not exclusively. Therefore, I want to be even more exclusive, and rather than just one voice, I want/need other wine bloggers voices. We have
Tim teaching us a lot about wordpress, a favorite of mine, and the
INERTIABEV crew chiming in on marketing your winery more effectivley online.
Craig Camp has recently been educating me on distribution techniques and new looks on common themes. I'd be doing all of you a large disservice not to mention
Robert, who raises questions that make us all feel compelled to chime in. Oh, let's not forget
Joel! Kudos to you on the
OWC, a place that any self respecting wine blogger should consider visiting.
I know I'm missing a lot, and I apologize in advance to all of you who are doing something to move the wine blogging debate forward. Hopefully, this blog will not only include all of their voices, but also the voices that are less known. I want to hear from all the bloggers on the list, no matter how small.
David Honig began his blogging career in politics and political cartoons. After suffering through eight years of the Bush Administration, he decided it was time to relax with a nice glass of wine. 2 Days per Bottle, his first wine blog, explores wines over two days to get an idea of its cellar life and drinking window. Soon he started to notice variations in wine scores, particularly in the cluster around one particular score, and the group blog The 89 Project was born. As he got more involved with the wine blogging world David noticed that there was a tremendous amount of knowledge and talent, but it was spread so thinly across the internet that terrific content often disappeared before anybody noticed it.

Wine bloggers, more importantly, American Wine Bloggers, are you getting wine samples? Most likely there is a mixed bag of both "yes" and "no" responses. Well, if you're interested in receiving samples, Josh over at the infamous
