Walla Walla, Bang Bang! Bloggers Unite for Love of Words and Wine
The power of the written word is limitless. Apparently so is my capacity for delicious vino, which I discovered via the North American Wine Bloggers' Conference, held in gorgeous Walla Walla, Washington from June 25-27.
300 wine bloggers and industry professionals converged on this gem of southeastern Washington Wine Country for three days of tastings, wine dinners, seminars and vineyard tours.
Among the unique activities I joined in were two live blogging events that operated on the concept of 'speed dating' but with white and red wines. I'll elaborate on this in a later post, but let me tell you it was fast and furious and left us all Twitter-pated...especially the boxed wine we tasted...I'll explain that later too...
One of the most fulfilling aspects of my trip was meeting so many of my fellow wine lovers and bloggers. I received tremendous feedback about my site, and was surprised and honored to learn that some of these oenophiles had already heard about Vino Chick! The power of social media should NOT be underestimated.
On Wednesday, I'll take you to a few of the beautiful vineyards I visited, and introduce you to one vintner who shared with me his personal philosophy on winemaking.
For more of my wine adventures, follow me on Twitter @VinoChick75.

ReplyDeleteDue to the ban of smoking in public areas, vaporizers
ReplyDeleteare used by many smokers as an alternative for smoking.
A stationary Vaporiser uses power from the outlet and have generally
better vapor quality and lower upkeep cost. Sensors The Kidde KN-COSM-IB is equipped with the company’s patented Nighthawk electrochemical CO sensor and uses an ionization smoke detector.

When I lived in England, I also talked to police, social
ReplyDeleteworkers and "screws" (prison workers). But people are quite ignorant while
taking these drugs and painkillers. The drug Nicotine is one of the
regularly abused and commercially available drugs in the
society.
Feel free to surf to my web-site: Vaporizer
It also is forbidden which makes it all the more alluring
ReplyDeleteto teenagers, thus the low starting age for many people.
At the end of the day, all addicts develop into masters of justifiable excuses and can come up
with some pretty convincing arguments as to why smoking cessation is not a good idea just
yet. Well, if it is causing one to not get a full night's sleep, it might be.
Here is my homepage :: Vaporizer
It provides you with the same effect just like smoking but the only difference is that with smoking you would be inhaling all the burnt chemicals which would damage your body in some way or
ReplyDeleteother. It fits right in your palm just like your mobile phone.
Now that you simply understand that benefits of a vaporizer it is excellent to
decide on which kind of Vaporizer you want in your kitty.
