Wine Bloggers Conference 2009: Sonoma, CA

This Thursday morning I will be flying out of Walla Walla to attend the Second Annual North American Wine Bloggers Conference held in Sonoma and Napa Counties, CA. on Friday, July 24 to Sunday, July 26th. I will be joining 2oo+ wine bloggers from all over the United States and even a few from Europe, as well as new media innovators, and wine industry leaders.

The conference will be filled with meet and greets, keynote speakers, panel discussions, vineyard walks, break-out sessions regarding wine blogging and social media, Grand Tastings of Sonoma and Napa Valley Wines and even a Live Wine Blogging gathering on Friday scheduled for 2:30 pm PDT! Oh, and one more thing - -

For over a year now, I have been throwing hissy-fits at WBC organizer’s Joel Vincent (what a saint!) about moving the WBC 2010 out of California and into Washington State. At times it’s been a bit controversial whether the WBC 2010 should be held at Woodinville or Walla Walla. Well, after much discussion, the votes have been cast, collected and counted. Stay tuned and follow me on Twitter, as Sunday morning the announcement will be made regarding the WBC 2010 Washington State destination - Woodinville or Walla Walla?

I will soon post a Twitter widget so you can follow me for live updates on my wine blogging journey!
