Wine Author and Teacher Karen MacNeil Will Deliver Keynote Address at Wine Bloggers Conference

July 27, 2015 – 7:48 am

During our early years of Wine Trail Traveler, we were starving for wine knowledge. Stumbling on a television broadcast, Wine, Food and Friends, we watched attentively as Karen MacNeil led the viewers through a gentle wine education that was also entertaining. We kept searching for other broadcasts in the series. Kathy and I have been […]

Sagrantino Is not Sangiovese

May 13, 2015 – 5:56 am

In our second book, A Wine Tourist Guide Visiting Tasting Rooms, we wrote a chapter about wine misconceptions and myths.

The region Umbria does share a border […]

Keynote Addresses Come Up Short

August 20, 2012 – 9:59 am

The Wine Bloggers Conference is one of the few conferences we attend that have two keynote addresses. Some of the conferences we attend do not have keynote addresses. In my opinion, the keynote address should motivate attendees, and/or present them with ideas that they can pursue. Given that objective, WBC12 keynote addresses did not measure […]

Wine Bloggers Conference Off to a Fast Start

August 17, 2012 – 1:51 pm

This year’s Wine Bloggers Conference in Portland, Oregon will showcase oregon wines. However, the hit of the morning session was the Argentine Food and Wine Paring.

August 9, 2012 – 9:31 am

We have made several trips to wine regions in Oregon. The Wine Bloggers Conference takes place in Portland from August 16th to the 19th. After tasting many Oregon Pinot Noirs, I have a favorite.
