Wine Bloggers Conference & Ohio Wines

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Tomorrow we take off for sunny California. Of course, I’ll be on the northern end, where the weather is comparable to here, so it should be lovely.

Kevin and I are spending a day in my favorite city, San Francisco, before heading to Sonoma. We’re specifically heading to Santa Rosa to the Wine Blogger’s Conference. It looks like a great time. We’ll have access to free wireless the entire time we’re at the conference, which includes at least one live-blogging event. It’s a great opportunity for us to try all sorts of Sonoma wines we’ve never encountered, and meet our wine blogging cohorts from across the country.

I’m also counting on some unofficial tastings happening. Tonight I shipped out a case of local libations. I didn’t write down what I shipped, but I’m reasonably sure our case included the following:

Henke Cin Zin dessert wine
Henke Norton, Limited Edition
Harmony Hill Rubato (chambourcin)
Harmony Hill Concerto (vidal blanc)
Harmony Hill Ovation (traminette & cayuga)
Kinkead Ridge Revelation
Kinkead Ridge Cabernet Franc (2)
Kinkead Ridge Viognier-Roussanne
Kinkead Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon (2)
Willett Bourbon 12-year (representing Kentucky’s finest)

In my suitcase, I’ll also be stuffing a bottle of Henke’s Seyval Blanc. Why so much Kinkead Ridge? Wine bloggers requested it, so I’m bringing it!

We’ll be back the middle of next week. In the meantime, watch for the occasional post from the conference, as well as a couple of posts I’ve scheduled to appear while we’re gone.
