Just a quick note to let everyone with a blog know to act as normal and post there… those without, post here. Clear?
Update 8/8: It seems some folks are confused about what to do here with the new group blog so I’ll cover this in a bit more detail:
- Participants with blogs should post their entries at their own blog and trackback to Lenn’s post as is the normal custom. Also please send Lenn a quick email with your blog link.
- Those without blogs can register here and post their notes to this blog feed. Please note that your entry will go into the moderation queue and Lenn or I will approve and post shortly after you submit your draft.
- Lenn will post a summary of the event at his blog and cross-post here a few days after the event.
- I will also post a feed from Technorati on the sidebar to help follow the posts closer to real-time.
Sorry for the confusion.
Cheers!
One of the features we hope will increase the participation in WBW is the ability to register and post your notes to this blog. Near the bottom of the right sidebar is a “Register” link that will enable you to sign up. By default you will be given the ability to create draft blog posts and participate in our forums with the same username and login. Your blog posts will be reviewed and possibly edited for language before being posted to the blog feed. All blog SPAM or inappropriate content will be deleted.
Our hope is more consumers will post their notes and we totally remove the barrier of having a blog in order to participate.
Michelle and Kevin over at My Wine Education have posted a great summary of WBW 35. Over 40 bloggers wrote about their Spanish wine finds, many choosing to review more than just one. The result is about 100 Spanish values with only a couple wines to avoid.
Great job, guys!
Michelle over at My Wine Education announced the theme for WBW 35 as “Passionate Spain” a couple weeks ago but I was in Spain and didn’t get a chance to post about it here. Basically she is asking us to find any wine from Spain, red or white, and blog about it with special emphasis on wines under $10 USD. There are certainly many good values to choose from here in the U.S. but European bloggers will also have no trouble finding good choices for 7 Euros or less based upon my recent experience.
Join us on July 11th to see what everyone picks up to try.
Well it’s really still in progress as I post this on Friday… check out the nearly complete summary of our virtual tasting event here. Thanks to Catie at Through The Walla Walla Grape Vine blog for a fine theme and great write-up.
Speaking of late notice, WBW 34 is today and the theme is Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon hosted by Catie from Through The Walla Walla Grape Vine blog. There is still time to participate but you should track down that bottle sometime today and write up your notes 
Marcus posted his summary for WBW 33 some weeks back but I’m a bit late with my link here. Check out all the Languedoc-Roussillon value wines in his round-up here.
Marcus from Doktor Weingolb has chosen Languedoc-Roussillon Values as the theme for Wine Blogging Wednesday 33. Join us May 16 to see what $15-$30 USD will buy you from this French wine region.
I’m a bit on the late side, but the folks at the Wine Cask blog posted a summary of WBW 32. Quite an assortment of wines tasted and a pretty good turnout given the difficulty of the theme. Looks like the regular releases held up pretty well against their more expensive reserves. Check out the entire roundup here.
The Wine Cask Blog is asking us to compare a winery’s regular and reserve bottling for the next edition of Wine Blogging Wednesday. Just pick up two wines from the same producer, grape variety and vintage; one the regular release, the other a reserve, taste and blog your notes.
Join us on Wednesday, April 11th to find out if the extra money is worth it or not.
