Gary from Wine Library TV has asked Mott to link up the 59 participants of WBW 44 over at the WLTV forums. Lots of links to check out to find some nice Cabernet Franc from France. Seems like Gary might have also encouraged some more first time participants to our monthly virtual tasting, which is all very good stuff.
For next month, I will again host and I’ve picked my favorite white variety, Riesling as the theme. But I wanted to celebrate the wines made where I think the best examples are found in Northern Europe. So pick up a wine made from Riesling grown in Germany, France’s Alsace, Austria, Northern Italy, the Czech Republic or Slovenia and post your notes by May 7th. If you don’t have a blog, just register and post here.
Can we crack 60 participants next time? I think so…
We have the perfect wine and the perfect meal for this event - can’t wait!
Sounds like this is going to be a lot of fun. I will definitely try to register for the event.

Hey, we’re doing similar wine stuff online in Australia and the UK and I’m intrigued: how do you do a “virtual tasting”???
That is the lamest roundup in WBW history. Gary V totally dropped the ball on this one.
Wine Bloke: We have a host each month who picks a theme — sometimes a grape variety, other times a wine region — and participants find wines that match the theme to blog about. The host collects all these blog posts and creates a summary post with links backs and commentary on each entry.
We have worldwide participation with our only limitation being the posts need to be in English. Join us.
Cheers!
I’d be happy to participate in #45 at my blog, At First Glass. I have my riesling all ready to go. Is this how one joins?
Nancy: Just taste your Riesling and blog your tasting notes. Once posted, email your link to me at winecast (at) gmail (dot) com and I’ll link back to your blog in my roundup.
Thanks for joining us!
