Wine Blogging Wednesday #50 will be hosted by none other than the Russ Beebe, a.k.a. Winehiker. His blog Winehiker Witiculture showcases his passion for both hiking in California wine country and enjoying fine wine from California and beyond. It only makes sense that he would ask us to commune with nature a bit for this month’s event.
And so, imagine you and your significant wineau walking in the cool woods of Autumn. An amber glow lights your path, golden leaves fall around you, and as you walk, you’re working up a sizable hunger for that post-hike picnic you’ve got planned. Not to mention that sizable thirst! Which wine will you pour in the Great Outdoors?
There are also bonus points for chosing a local wine, sharing the name of the wilderness where you’d enjoy the wine, and super-duper bonus points for actually drinking it there! Be sure to read his entire announcement for all the details and on Wednesday, October 8th write about the wine you chose.
Wine Blogging Wednesday #49 seemed to be enjoyed by all — and not only Americans. Wine bloggers from around the world posted their choice of what to drink to end the Bush presidency. The complete roundup is on 2 Days Per Bottle.
Dhonig of 2 Days Per Bottle will be hosting Wine Blogging Wednesday #49. He has chosen a politically-themed topic for September’s tasting: A toast to the end of the Bush Era:
What will you drink to toast the end of the Bush era? Will it be something to honor the 43rd President, or are you just looking forward to 44? Will it be something from Texas, which Bush calls home, or Connecticut, where he was really raised? Maybe a nice French champagne, a bit of a poke in his eye? Or do you prefer Italian prosecco, since they supported the “War on Terror”? Whatever it is, get ready to lift a glass and toast the end of an era that America will never forget.
Originally, everyone was supposed to announce their choices today to coincide with the Republican National Convention. However, due to a bit of confusion we’re postping it for a week or two.
The new date is Wednesday, September 17th. Mark your calendars!
To celebrate Wine Blogging Wednesday’s 4th anniversary, founder Lenn Thomspon of LENNDEVOURS hosted WBW #48 and asked everyone to look Back to Your Roots. It’s interesting to see what we all were drinking way back when. Check out his roundup to find out for yourself!
Erin and Michelle over at Grape Juice chose a whimsical pick for July’s tasting: Brought to you by the letter ‘S’. It was a fun topic (and a tip of the hat to the wonderful children’s program “Sesame Street”) and you can check out their recap of everyone’s spectacular selections.
I’m going to try to get everyone caught up on the last few months’ worth of Wine Blogging Wednesdays, so let’s start where we left off, eh?
Wine Blogging Wednesday #46 was hosted by Dr. Debs of Good Wine Under $20. She chose White Rhone Varietals as the topic. You can check out her recap for a list of participating bloggers (43 of them!) and their entries.
