This is obviously a self congratulatory note so I’ll keep it (mercifully) brief. Pinotblogger has been nominated for Best Winery blog over at Tom Wark’s Fermentation. This is one of those situations where getting nominated really is almost as good as winning. I’m especially thrilled after looking at the judges panel:
Judd Wallenbrock, President of Humanitas Wines and GM of Michel-Schlumberger Winery Michael De Loach, VP Sales and Marketing at Hook & Ladder Winery Sarah Donnelly, Direct Sales and Wine Club at Williams Selyem (Congrats on your 25th vintage!) Eric Quanstrom, Director of Marketing at Appellation America Cyril Penn, Editor of Wine Business Monthly (of which I’m of course a subscriber) Greg Walter, Editor of Pinot Report (of which I’m also a subscriber)
andJo Diaz, Owner Diaz-Communications
Thank you to each of the judges, to everyone who nominated pinotblogger, and of course to Tom for spotlighting so many fantastic bloggers.
