On February 11, tweeters and wine lovers will have the opportunity to have fun tasting California Cabernet wines and tweeting about them.

Those who participate in this event can order their Cabernet wine from a California winery or purchase a bottle at their local wine shop or perhaps grocery store. The plan is to divide the state of California into three areas. Tweeting will take place between 5 and 7 PST. From 5 to 5:30pm wines from southern California can be tasted and notes tweeted. Central California wines will be tasted and tweeted between 5:30 and 6pm while northern California wines have the time slot 6 to 7pm.

If you’re wonder why northern California wines have a longer time slot the St. Supery blog addresses this issue. “There are more wineries on Twitter in N. California which is why there’s a longer time slot.” Also if you are interested in viewing a map of California wine regions visit the St. Supery blog.

Remember to use the hash tag #CaliCabs. If you want to follow the tweets use Tweetdeck and set up a column for #CaliCabs.

After experiencing the Texas Twitter Taste-Off last year, I have high expectations for this upcoming Twitter and California Cabernet experience. In fact I already have the wine on hand that I will taste for this California event!

Cheers! Kathy
