We are dedicated bloggers, too. My wife and I work together on it. Our blog, <em>Wine Imbiber</em> is a blog dedicated to wine and food, offering advice and recommendations for enhancing your enjoyment of wine and food and entertaining your friends and loved ones. My wife focuses on the food and I focus on the wines. That keeps us both happy! We enjoy your blog and several others. It's a great way to stay informed. We were sorry we couldn’t attend either.

The impromtu Anti Conference and 2. The Unconference. I really enjoyed the unconference as it allowed us to discuss current issues in an open forum, unlike the structured break outs. Not to mention visiting all of the people I knew from Twitter! Check out my opinions on http://www.lusciouslushes.com and my pics on OWC! There were two “best moments” for me:

Tough to make the trip from Boston, so I'm hoping WBC's across the country are in the hopper? I write and host tastings for the love of wine - and sharing it!

I spent my Summer working and living on a mountain top vineyard in Sonoma County known as Tin Cross Vineyards. Since then, I've been writing posts for www.ourwinestory.com. I reflect on our experiences working/living on the vineyard and the wine-making process for the newly launching label, Captûre. I have done a lot of writing, but this was my first time writing for a blog and it has been a blast. We recently had harvest and I had a chance to visit the winery where our grapes are being put to Barrel, so the most recent posts focus on that. If people here want to know what the vineyard feels like they only need go through the archive. Hi Tyler,

It will focus exclusively on independent reviews for domestic wine. I was surprised today when I checked Google rankings for "domestic wine ratings blog" and saw I ranked first, yet only ranked third behind Robert Parker and CellarTracker! when I removed the word blog. There is something about blogging I think I like! Sorry to have missed you at WBC. Gary V's keynote was inspiring. See you at Meadowood in February?

The attendees were serious about learning and communicating to others about the joys of enjoying wine in general and Sonoma wine specifically. The sessions were intelligent, well thought out and also very interesting. It is exciting to get new blood in the field and hear how the next generation is as passionate about wine as I have been for more than 20 years. Cheers!

I started a blog in May called IMBIBE NEW YORK, where I write about wine bars and boutiques in the city. I include infrequent trips to New York wineries and reviews about wine, and plenty of photographs! http://www.imbibenewyork.com Cheers! Wow, sounds like a great event, I’m sorry I missed it.
