2010 Wine Blog Awards – Hey, What Do You Know!

May 25, 2010 The Press 11 Comments

I am very happy and humbled to announce that I am a finalist for “Best New Wine Blog” in the 2010 Wine Blog Awards. As cliché as it sounds, I am just happy to be a finalist. Everyone I have worked with over the past half year has been amazing and I really owe this to their amazing stories.

There are some great blogs nominated, and some that in my opinion are just trying to be another critic, but that’s OK too. I recommend the following….

Swirl, Smell, Slurp – Awesome!

Tablas Creek – Well they are just the best aren’t they?

448: A Ridge Blog – Christopher is doing a great job with this, plus, THEY ARE RIDGE!!

So go vote for me…or someone you like better! I will still love you. VOTE HERE. Voting ends May 30th.

    Congrats…love your blog and honored to be nominated alongside you.

  2. Wayne says:

    I am happy to be alongside you as well! I like what you are doing. Don’t get caught up in the hype and drama. It’s sad really that people freakout so much over something that means so little.

  3. Kristi Davis says:

    Congrats! I actually came over and visited your site and subscribed to the RSS feed because I saw you on the list. 🙂 So kudos!

  4. Wayne says:

    Well thrilled to have you as a fan! Any winery requests? 🙂

  5. Steve says:

    Congrats! I actually came over and visited your site and subscribed to the RSS feed because I saw you on the list. 🙂 So kudos!

  6. Wayne says:

    Thanks Steve.

  7. Glen says:

    Congratulations! Damaris always keeps us informed as to the latest. This is the first time to your blog. Very impressed.

    Take care,
    Glen

  8. Wayne says:

    Thanks Glen! And I still need to come in and have our chat, just been running all over CA.

    Glen owns the coolest photo lab in Santa Barbara, one of the coolest in the Country actually. http://www.colorservices.com/ Specialty Color.

  9. Steve Paulo says:

    That wasn’t a thinly-veiled dig at your fellow nominees, was it? 😉

  10. Wayne says:

    I have a fully unveiled dig on it’s way! I have no ill will towards any of the blogs. I am up against a few really nice blogs. I don’t think I will win and I will be really happy for anyone who does. While I think there is much we wine bloggers need to work on (more coming on that later) and I don’t like a lot of them out there, it doesn’t mean those people don’t put a lot of work into their blogs. I respect all of the nominees. They are doing what they want to do.

    Thanks for the comment Steve.

  11. BMW guy says:

    I wish I could write like you as Margaret Laurence once said “When I say “work” I only mean writing. Everything else is just odd jobs.”

Bonny Doon: Day of the Doon IX {Photo Essay}

We have grown rather accustomed to long trips for short stays, so much so that a 500 mile weekend is not such a big deal anymore. There are a lot of events we are invited to and we can only attend a few of them. But when Randall Graham asks you to attend, you attend. […]

Secret Project {the reveal}

A few weeks ago I posted the “Secret Project” with some shots of  a friend’s new winery taking shape. At the time, the space was still in a raw state, holes in the ground, bare walls, cut concrete. In terms of photographing a new winery, one might say there was not much to see, no […]
