So have a rolling two months determined: #46 and #47 posted at the same time mid month, then #47 and #48 the following month. This would help me who wants to give my posse enough time to coordinate our purchasing and meeting location as a group. </p> http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/topic.php?id=7#post-57 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 19:57:09 +0000 TimLemke 57@http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/ <p>Yay! :-) </p> http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/topic.php?id=7#post-56 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 02:06:26 +0000 admin 56@http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/ <p>Nope, you are on the list... sorry for not posting back when you did... you are ahead of Matt but behind el jefe since he pitched his theme on twitter a while back... thanks! </p> http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/topic.php?id=7#post-55 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 01:56:12 +0000 TimLemke 55@http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/ <p>Did I just get dissed? :-( </p> http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/topic.php?id=7#post-54 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 21:33:12 +0000 admin 54@http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/ <p>el jefe: You are hosting in January 2009.</p> <p>Matt: You are on the list; thanks, your theme sounds, well, "classic" ;-) </p> http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/topic.php?id=7#post-53 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:13:00 +0000 ClassicWines 53@http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/ <p>Hey Tim,</p> <p>I'd like to throw Classic Wines in the running for your hosting gig!

I am fairly new to the wine blogging game but would love to host a WBW some time. With stunning originality, I have named my theme "A Blast From the Past". Basically the idea would be to source the current vintage of a wine that holds a special place in your life; The first wine you ever drank, the wine you ordered on your first date with the love of your life, or the wine that really got you hooked on the stuff. Find it, drink it, share the memories. </p> http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/topic.php?id=7#post-44 Wed, 20 Feb 2008 13:31:15 +0000 admin 44@http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/ <p>I like your theme idea, Marta.

I'm not a strict wine bloggist, but I'd love to host an event at some point in time. I was thinking of doing the opposite of the "go local" wine campaign (no eco-friendly I know). My idea was trying to drink a wine from the furthest spot on the globe from you that you can... kinda Ze Frank Earth Sandwich if you will. It could make for a really cool Google Map mashup that I would contribute. Just seems like a good way to introduce people to a region they may not know and get an idea of where all these WBW-ers exist around the globe. </p> http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/topic.php?id=7#post-42 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 21:05:43 +0000 admin 42@http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/ <p>Ben: Got you on the list... looking forward to trying my hand at visual reviews again.</p> <p>Iris: Let us know what month works for you.

I'll discuss with the other WBW team members and we'll have to pick a month to collaborate. </p> <p>Looking ahead at our schedule, my theme of "Old World Riesling" would seem to make the best match as I'm specifying only Riesling from it's traditional home in Germany, Austria and Alsace be reviewed.

I had the pleasure to host the last editions of each simultaneously (by coping your "old" labels theme), so it was a great fun to compare the different entries - and it gave me the idea, that it would be even greater fun to combine the three of them one day around the same topic seen from the two sides of what we call in German "the lake" (der Teich).<br /> There would be in fact the language barrier to overcome, but as in the meantime most Germans read (and probably write) English, this would be perhaps not such an important obstacle - for the French, its perhaps less evident, but if I look through the participants of the last edition, there have been already at least half a dozen who were bi-lingual...</p> <p>What do you think about it? </p> http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/topic.php?id=12#post-37 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 12:39:56 +0000 Iris 37@http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/ <p>I like this idea - especially since I noticed by writing the round up for the last Weinrallye (tiny brother of WBW among German speaking wine and food-bloggers) that several participants deliberately wrote about the music they were hearing while tasting the wine for their weinrallye post:-)) </p> http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/topic.php?id=12#post-36 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 21:34:46 +0000 Alec 36@http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/ <p>There's a Canadian wine magzine called 'Vines' (www.vinesmag.com) which reviews new albums and suggests a wine to pair them with.

Take a wine and pair it with some music. Sip at a glass and play a record (or CD or mp3 or whatever). Talk about how they compliment each other. Was it a jazzy wine that you listened to some classic rock with? Did the mellow notes of the wine blend well with the mellow notes of John Lee Hooker? A fruity wine with some Liberace, perhaps? (OK, I'm sorry for that pun). I think you get the idea. I think it could be fun!</p> <p>-Jim Eastman<br /> Music &#38; Wine<br /> <a href="http://www.jimeastman.com" rel="nofollow">www.jimeastman.com</a> </p> http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/topic.php?id=11#post-29 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 00:19:39 +0000 admin 29@http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/ <p>I'd suggest simply "Eastern European wines" as your theme... will add you to the running list, etc.</p> <p>Cheers! </p> http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/topic.php?id=11#post-28 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 00:14:25 +0000 sephage 28@http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/ <p>Good point.

May I suggest widening the scope of your proposed theme to maybe "Eastern European wines from grapes other than Cab, Merlot, Chardonnay?" That would be different and the folks who do have access to a good wine shop with some Bull's Blood would probably produce a fair number of responses but it does give more opportunity for other users to find different kinds of wines from Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary etc-depending on what their wine shop has access to. </p> http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/topic.php?id=11#post-26 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 22:55:00 +0000 sephage 26@http://www.winebloggingwednesday.org/forums/ <p>Hi - I've got another idea for a theme.
