Winecast will host the next #WBW71 “Rhones not from Rhône”
Most of us might not have recovered from the Spain filled #WBW70 hangover yet and we already have the next #WBW71 announced. It will be hosted by folks at Winecast with a very interesting theme; “Rhones not from Rhône”. Get creative bloggers as it will be held on March 16th.
The Details (via Winecast):
- Choose one or more wines made from Rhone varieties but not made in Frances’ Rhône region and post to your blog, Posterous or Twitter stream by Wednesday, March 16th.
- If you announce your entry on Twitter or Facebook, please be sure to add the hashtag #wbw71 to your status update.
- Send me an email at winecast (at) gmail (dot) com and let me know where I can find your post so I can produce a summary after the event.
- Don’t have a blog, Posterous or Twitter account? Just send me your entry via email and I will post it up on the WBW Posterous.

#Wine hashtags you should be following
Hashtags are used often to mark keywords or topics in the Twitter world. Wine world has a lot of them - here is a few that I follow closely.
If you are interested on following the recent updates about Vintage of 2011 then you should add #vintage2011 to your Twitter searchers.
Are you coming to Vinitaly 2011? It’s held in Verona from 7th to 11th of April and it’s probably the biggest wine exhibitions in the world. At the moment these hashtags really don’t have much to offer - but do let yourself loose there and tweet some #vintaly hype!
Through here you can simply follow wine trends and see what people are enjoying. Rather active on Fridays! If you haven’t added this to your searchers - do it now!
Colli Orientali del Friuli 2011 is a group of 6 American wine blogger who are currently going through the beautiful hills of Friuli - tasting wines and reporting everything! Be sure to checkout their blog as well at http://www.cof2011.com
European Wine Bloggers Conference and Born Digital Wine Awards - These hashtags are a must-follow for everyone writing a blog or doing anything wine related over the internet. Next EWBC is being held in Franciacorta, Italy and what I heard from the 2010 event I’ve already ordered my tickets to the EBWC 2011.
Follow the latest tweets from Masters of Wine, MW students and other enthusiasts adding interesting sites, facts around the wine world.
Here’s my shortlist - if you have suggestions on what tags we all should be following you can use the comment section below and I’ll add it to the list.
I’m doing this PowerPoint for my first ever wine class coming in few weeks (once we settle the date) and I thought describing flavors and aromas is rather dull in words, why not share pictures.
It would be interesting to hear your guesses from what sort of wines are these pictures from?
ViiniTV VWT 4.2.
Yesterday I attended to the ViiniTV’s virtual tasting the Gnarley Head Zin. It gathered quite a crowd with over 50+ people from all over Finland!
What amazes me is that people decided to sit in front of their laptops / computers on Friday evening tasting wine and sharing that experience with others and asking questions from the winemaker itself. Ilkka and Arto has done a great job hosting these virtual wine tastings and I can see lot’s more coming and people attending growing in numbers.
Thank you very much Ilkka, Arto and the ViiniTV crew! Keep up the good work you guys do.
What are your experiences in virtual wine tastings? Please share your thoughts!
