    It's a great wine blog for people who know a little about wine, enjoy it, and want to learn more. Elizabeth's humor is also amusing to read. I have definitely run out to buy the wine she suggests when she's mentioned it's been a great one! And she's right!

    I nominate winethropology.com, by far and away the best blend of insight, humor and useful information for both the novice and old school connoisseur.

    Informative, fun and makes me want to taste wines I normally wouldn't try.
  • Ed Freeman
    I love Burke Morton's www.winethink.net--there is some focus on food and wine pairings (and a wine pairing matrix, which is unfortunately down right now), but lots of penetrating commentary and sharing of experiences.
  • Rich

    Mulan's blog is so thoughtfully put together. Her articles are really informative and accompanied by illustrative and totally evocative pictures.

    Not only fantastic to read, but I've met her in person and she is so knowledgable! What a passion for wine, and it comes across. Love this blog.
  • Margie Olson
  • Millenier.com deserves it. No doubt. Only a monster would disagree.
  • Meaning millennier.com that it.
  • nancybrandt
    I nominate Notes From The Cellar. Lots of fun. Steve doesn't make you feel like a wine dullard. He is knowledgable, engaging, passionate and witty. It's hard to find that unless you are a down-to-earth wine lover. This guy would pass Ernest Hemingway's test of a good writer. He said, "the most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shockproof shit detector. This is the writer's radar and all great writers have had it." Steve's radar is right-on! Keep on blogging, Steve!
  • Tuomas Meriluoto

    Without a doubt one of the best wine blogs I had the opprotunity to experience. Well thought out, excellent selections and reviews, a great complement to wine selections.
  • Wine For Normal People!
  • douglassexton
    It has to be Winethropology. That's THAT!
  • Dan Buckler
    The most comprehensive and intelligent wine blog I've seen. Great layout, nice color scheme. It's clear that Ms Chan has a true passion for wine and the regions around the world from which it comes. Delicious photos of wine & food pairings, too!

  • Pete
    Winethropology.com offers incredible, straightforward advice for wines that fit into the vast majority of the everyday wine drinkers' budget. In this economy--I really don't want to hear about "great wines" at the $60+ price range. This is where Winethropology.com excells--keeping it simple and within the right price range.
  • jasperaustin
    JohnOnWine.com gets my nod. I like the quick wit along with the insights.

    This is the wine blog I've been looking for. It is entertaining, educational, and immensly readable. I don't know who this guy is, but I'd love to drain a bottle with him. Why read the rest when you can read the best? Stay thirsty, my friends!
    I look forward to new posts.

  • Todd Stratman
  • douglassexton
    No question - Winethropology should get it!
  • Simon
    Winethropology. Hands down. Blends a fresh writing style that is accessible (but not at all dumbed-down) with a focus on enjoying what's in the bottle without worrying what the label might say. You may not agree with everything in the blog - but you know it's honest - and that diversity of viewpoints is what makes wines fun!
  • Bob Naegele
    Cellar Mistress is my vote!

    Winethropology wocks the wine world!

    southern oregon wine blog for sure!

    great vids and articles!
  • Rita Thomas
    Whoops, I did not name the blog I am nominating. I am nominating The Sourthern Oregon Wine blog for the best new blog of 2010 award. This is an off the charts best blog about our great wines. As soon as we bottle our first Pinots we look forward to this blog spreading the word.
  • Rita Thomas
    Whoops, in my previous comment I left out the name of the blog I am nominating for the best new blog award which is The Sourthern Oregon Wine Blog.
  • Rita Thomas
    This is a great new wine blog. As soon as we bottle our first Pinot, we know this blog will spread the word. We like the timely information we find here and we like the upbeat attitude of the information.
  • EU
    I'd like to nominate http://www.thecorkscrooge.com
  • Jennifer
    I'd like to nominate http://cellarmistress.blogspot... as best new wine blog. Grace is a wealth of information. She is like a walking wine encyclopedia. She really enjoys her craft and loves learning new information about EVERYTHING related to wine. She studies the grapes, the terroir, the wine making process, keeps up on distribution, the vineyards, the wine families, wine news, everything possibly related to the industry! She is the only person I know who buys those books about Napa and Sonoma and reads them cover to cover, studies them and can remember everything! She is like a sponge! I find her writing refreshing, entertaining and overall FUN! She has a great palate that you can trust and her sense of humor is a wonderful addition to the wine blogging/writing world. She has some great one-liners and her stories are always well written, to the point and engaging. It is mu honor to nominate the Cellar Mistress!
  • Barbara
    I nominate :
    www.organicwinereview.com

    Complicated topics very well executed.

  • Zach
    www.southernoregonwineblog.com definitely!!

    You can tell that the main author Christine is obviously very much into her Southern Oregon wine and I feel that a hostile take over is about to take place everytime I read an article. The blog is fairly new, but I can tell that it will soon cover the many intriguing layers of the Oregon wine industry that should excite any wine lover. I'm impressed with the attention to the blog and quality of each of the articles. I also enjoy the videos and photography.
  • I nominate NotesFromTheCellar.com It's fresh, down to earth, and informative!
  • BethanyNewman
    WIne For Normal People
    http://winefornormalpeople.blo...

    The most engaging and knowledgeable wine expert I've ever come across. So thankful that Elizabeth taken over the wine tastings at Parish, because she's taught my partner and I so much about wine already! Even MORE thankful that Elizabeth is a great writer, and that we can learn from her anytime we're browsing around the interwebs!
  • Rachel
  • Sheri
    Wine For Normal People (winefornormalpeople.blogspot.c...)! The writing is great, it's not snooty, she reviews stuff I can afford, and it's actually educational. Just wish she would post more often.
  • Julie
    www.winethropology.com for it's clever writing and insightful reviews... I blame that blog for my excessive consumption of good, high value wines!
  • SE
    TWAV is one of the best wine blogs I have seen.
    Excellent descriptions and objective recommendations and reviews.

    "Jenna & Wine"

    Jenna's down-to-earth, approachable style to reviewing all things wine makes you feel like you might be sitting across the table from her enjoying a glass of wine with a cool friend who just happens to know a lot about wine- it's comfortable, laid-back, and yet still makes you feel like you are leaving more informed and in-the-know. You never feel talked-down-to, but you always leave knowing more that you want to share with your other friends.
  • The wine and the humour mix especially well at my nomination http://pullthecork.wordpress.c...
  • EJ
    Winethropology! Love the reviews!
  • Dan Marca
    I nominate the Southern Oregon Wine Blog! Great topics, reviews, updates on related activities in the area and beyond! I read it regularly!
  • EBOOSH
    Not only is it fun and informative but, it is also down to earth and personable. I find that too many wine blogs tend to be over the top and a bit pretentious, not this one. mumulesvignes.com is all about the celebration of life and the fun lifestyle that should go hand and hand with wine and the culture.
