Good Grape: A Wine Blog Manifesto

March 22 2008

Finalists are Named in the 2008 American Wine Blog Awards

Tom from Fermentation has named the finalists in the American Wine Blog Awards. Voting is now open.

With eight categories—Best Overall Wine Blog, Best Wine Blog Writing, Best Wine Reviewing Blog, Best Single-Subject Wine Blog, Best Graphics on a Wine Blog, Best Winery Blog, Best Wine Business Blog and Best Wine Podcast or VideoBlog – there is a little something for everyone.

In fact, there are a couple of pleasant surprises whereby a few lesser-known blogs are having an opportunity to gain some meritorious attention after the jury review.

Good Grape was nominated in four categories and named a finalist in two—Best Graphics on a Wine Blog and Best Wine Business Blog.

Please vote for all categories at this link.

I won’t shill for your vote, but I would like to note that I’m very proud to be nominated in two categories for two years in a row.

Last year was in the Graphics category and Best Overall blog.

This year a new category was created –- Best Wine Business Blog—for those that focus on wine separate from a pure consumer orientation, something that this blog happens to do with an emphasis on marketing and industry dynamics.

It’s really nice to have your hard work and diligence recognized, and anybody that says differently is kidding either themselves or you.

It’s also motivation to bring your “A” game all the time because your body of work is judged by industry experts.

Thank you to everybody that visits this site, comments, and emails and please vote for your favorites for the 2008 American Wine Blog Awards
