I enjoy and learn from http://mumulesvignes.com. Her series of posts on Champagne was fantastic. Detailed information packed in bite-sized lessons with enough wit and whimsy to make the information sticky. A great new entry!

I nominate Winethropology -- all around best blog! It's visually appealing and contains very helpful information -- including a good sense of humor! Steve has interesting comment to boot!

My vote is for http://mumulesvignes.com. Intelligent, knowledgable, and great pictures.

http://vinotology.typepad.com/vinotology/

"Texas wine: Its like growing grapes on Mars"

Wine for Normal People gets my vote. Her blog is easy to read, short and on-point. Elizabeth Schneider knows her stuff and I look forward to her regular postings.

I don't buy wine without her!

http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com/

http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com/

Pretty refreshing as far as most blogs are concerned!

http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com/

Vinotology.com

Wonderful wine blog and a wonderful writer.

californiawinderyadvisor.com




Very informative about an issue that I had been having a difficult time researching. Thought his reviews of the tasting rooms was interesting and extremely helpful.

http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com
Elizabeth's blog is insightful, but not snooty!

I nominate AustinWineGuy.com for his insightful and witty comments. I like the fact that he offers a range of excellent wines for any budget. I enjoy his 365 days of wine calendar as well!

-Jamil Muhaisen

I nominate: http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com/
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.

MUMU Les Vignes - speaks not only to the mind but also to the soul.
http://mumulesvignes.com

I'd like to nominate Elizabeth Eisenbeis at Wine For Normal People: http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com/

Informative, fun and makes me want to taste wines I normally wouldn't try.

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.

Add another vote for http://www.winethropology.com/

Love the Wine for Normal People (http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com). Makes me feel normal :)

The Wine for Normal People (http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com) blog educates, informs, & enlightens us in a very understandable & entertaining way. Elizabeth really knows wine & shares her knowledge of and passion for it with refreshing honestly & style.

Mulan's blog is so thoughtfully put together. Her articles are really informative and accompanied by illustrative and totally evocative pictures. I love the eclectic regions that she has covered so far - Arbois, Spring Mountain, Champagne, each brought to life in vivid detail - http://mumulesvignes.com/

No brainer: http://www.californiawineryadvisor.com/

If you don't have them top on your list, something's wrong! :)

Debra Meiburg, Master of Wine (1 of 3 MW's in Asia) - www.debramasterofwine.com

Great weekly video content (Meet the Winemaker video interviews), quirky easy-to-understand articles (accessible to all) and fresh/modern design.

www.SouthernOregonWineBlog.com

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.

http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com/

Millenier.com deserves it. No doubt. Only a monster would disagree.

Meaning millennier.com that it.

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!

http://wine-beer-washington.com for humor and news. No wine snobs there, they even admit to drinking beer!!!

Without a doubt the most entertaining blog out there ... John could write novels. He is an experienced wine merchant who takes you along with his world travels, plus hes a passionate wine drinker. His style is engaging, humorous and educational. Like installments of a favorite series, I anxiously await his next entry. http://johnsstories.com. Try it - you'll be hooked t

Wine for Normal People. She's a babe, and bright too!
http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com/

Wine for Normal People! I love her down to earth commentary. http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com/

I say it should be Winethropology, fun informative and accurate.

My nomination is for Wine of the Month Club blog:

http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com/

My nomination is for Wine of the Month Club blog:

http://wineofthemonthclub.ning.com/

This blog is brand spanking new and is unpretentious, intelligent, informative, and engaging. Paul Kalemkiarian truly has a passion for what he does, and it is evident in his posts.

Winethropology.com

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!

It has to be Winethropology. That's THAT!

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!

http://mumulesvignes.com/

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.

JohnOnWine.com gets my nod. I like the quick wit along with the insights.

http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com/

Wine for Normal People...the BEST!!!

I nominate winebookgirl. I enjoy the more personal focus, as well as the food posts. (http://winebookgirl.blogspot.com/)

I nominate Wine for Normal People!!! The best!!

JohnOnWine.com is my nomination for the Best New Wine Blog award. His knowledge, and passion for wine, along with his humor gives wine to us everyday people who enjoy it, drink it, and not just sniff and swirl it.

http://www.winethropology.com/
Peaches, with a hint of strawberry in the nose.

www.winethropology.com

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.

Have to nominate Swirl, Smell, Slurp

Great new voice. Love, He said/She said/we said...

Oh, Winethropology wins in every category! Fresh, succint, and written
with flair, it's a quick, entertaining, and educational read all the way. Wines are very well explained, there's lots of variety, and we are delighted with this blog!

Just gotta love a girl from Iowa doing such a good job writing about wine. I nominate http://cellarmistress.blogspot.com.

John on Wine, great wine blog, keep up the good work.

Winethropology.com is one to follow if you don't already.

Cellarmistress’ Cellar Talk : Cellarmistress.blogspot.com

Grace's writing style is witty and fun. She is very passionate about wine. My vote goes to the Cellarmistress!

The Sourthern Oregon Wine blog is awesome! Always a pleasure reading! http://www.southernoregonwineblog.com/

Just saw the nomination for Native Food & Wine. Thank you very much.
http://www.nativefoodandwine.com

We're very pleased and proud to be mentioned here. We would like to nominate The Wine Mule. http://www.winemule.com

Regards,
Kevin Lynch

Winethropology.com is the bomb!

Winethropology.com is all you need to know!

No question - Winethropology should get it!

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!

Cellar Mistress is my vote!

Winethropology wocks the wine world!

southern oregon wine blog for sure!

great vids and articles!

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.

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.

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.

I'd like to nominate http://www.thecorkscrooge.com

I'd like to nominate http://cellarmistress.blogspot.com/ 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!

I nominate :
www.organicwinereview.com

Complicated topics very well executed.

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!

WIne For Normal People
http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com/

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!

Wine For Normal People (winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com)! 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.

www.winethropology.com for it's clever writing and insightful reviews... I blame that blog for my excessive consumption of good, high value wines!

TWAV is one of the best wine blogs I have seen.
Excellent descriptions and objective recommendations and reviews.
SE

http://wine.jennachateauvert.com

"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.com

Winethropology! Love the reviews!

I nominate the Southern Oregon Wine Blog! Great topics, reviews, updates on related activities in the area and beyond! I read it regularly!

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.

THE SOUTHERN OREGON WINE BLOG!

Another vote for winethropology.com

I nominate winethropology....clever all around

I signed up for the regular emails from Winethropology and find them to be well written and a great resource! They must not work for all the time they put in to researching - and of course taste testing!

my nomination:

http://mumulesvignes.com

this little blog features point-of-view style walk throughs of various interesting vineyards - followed by very approachable breakdowns of their varietals. very easy to navigate and recognize unique points of interest along the way. a subtle focus on the people behind the effort adds a refreshing touch of humanity as well. nice work mulan.

So helpful and informative. Love it!!

Another nomination for http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com. I'm on there all the time and always get something interesting out of it.

This one is great
http://mumulesvignes.com

Another vote for Winethropology - informative and entertaining...

My vote for Leah and her Millennier.com. It is fresh and fabulous just like her. I don't miss a post!

I nominate http://mumulesvignes.com for best new wine blog !! for many reasons but primly because Mulan is a real pro, therefore reliable source of knowledge, and one of the most knowledgeable, passionate and cool buyer I am working with in California !

Big vote for Leah and her Millennier.com! Big ideas, smart analogies, compelling storytelling. It's easy to critique and comment on what already exists. Leah is doing the harder work of creating alternatives and suggesting pathways forward.
We love her work to connect wine and millennial wine lovers.

I nominate Wine For Normal People: http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com

Elizabeth takes great care in her wine review blog posts. With thorough research and educational content, her expertise and passion shine through.

I nominate thecorkscrooge.com for the best new blog. A must read!

Winethropology

In the short time it's been around, winethropology.com has become my go-to site for smart advice and a good sense of humor too.

Winethropology

I nominate Cellar Mistress.

I nominate Winethropology.com for best new wine blog. Steve McIntosh knows his stuff, but more importantly he knows how real people evaluate, drink and enjoy wine. His posts are as much fun as the drinking itself.

I vote for Jenna & Wine. Check out her wine blog for yourself and I'm sure you'll agree!

No doubt, http://mumulesvignes.com/author/mumulesvignes/
very informative, easy to read and fun , so friendly you just can't stop reading!!!

Does anyone else think this is getting a wee bit ridiculous? Does no one read instructions?

Yes. The fact that it took me 17 hours to find this post is a testament to that ;-).

It's all good. The judges have 3 weeks to sort all this out. Some people are just enthusiastic about their favorite blog.

We could also just copy and paste one of the big blog rolls from my site or Vinography here as well to keep the judges really busy. ;-)

LOL, at least it would be better-organized ;)

Witty and informative, Winethropology.com is the go-to site for research, advice, and gossip about wine and the wine industry, and has my nomination for Best New Wine Blog.

Add another vote for http://www.winethropology.com/ - awesome site!

I think Winethropology.com does a good job.

I nominate Winethropology: http://www.winethropology.com/
Thanks!

Bringing less-explored, far off the beaten path wine regions to adventurous palates has been a consuming passion for this new wine site, and the edifying, thoughtful research behind every winery visited and every wine tasted has elevated http://mumulesvignes.com to well-deserved status as best new wine blog.

I nominate thecorkscrooge.com

winethropology.com!

Tanzer's winophilia.com

I nominate http://mumulesvignes.com -Super informative, well designed and easy to read. excellent and inspiring photos that really facilitate understanding the topic at hand. two thumbs way up!

winethropology.com!

Wine for Normal People is an amazingly useful wine blog. Highly recommend it to my friends.

this one is immensely readable, and approachable: http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com/

I am voting for http://mumulesvignes.com for best wine blog. Mulan Chan is a world of vino info. The blog is also a lot of fun to read. Never boring, always engaging.

I am delighted to vote for http://mumulesvignes.com . It is fantastic- informative and fun!

Please consider the blog mumulesvignes for Best New Wine Blog. This blog is a refreshing and thoughtful antidote to point-based ratings blogs. Mumu talks to the winemakers, describes interesting wine/food pairings, and is willing to explain why "difficult" wines are worth trying. Her series on Champagne was excellent. The URL is http://mumulesvignes.com.

I vote for thecorkscrooge.com.

I vote for http://mumulesvignes.com/ . I feel that her blog provides me with a very accessible means to understanding wines, while also offering engaging stories and history behind the wine itself.

I would like to nominate wine for normal people, http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com as the best new wine blog. It is well-written and very helpful in picking wine that is great value. You can usually get a great wine for a lot of money, but the trick is to get a great wine for a modest price. This site helps with that a lot. She shows that one doesn't have to be rich to drink good wine. Even if the wines mentioned are not available locally, the blog is always fun to read and informative.

Toledo Wines & Vines may be new, but already has established itself as the go-to source for wine lovers. Well-written and entertaining, they highlight regional and well-known wines alike and post an excellent weekly calendar of wine events.

Thanks for the nomination Tracey. 201 posts since we debuted on September 13, 2009.

Cheers,

Dave

http://www.winethink.net is a great new blog, generally directed toward wine and food pairings, but it stretches out beyond that with thoughtful, clever, unique perspectives on trends and the state of wine. Also has a great wine pairing application that is entirely created from his own experiences as a sommelier. Love the design, too.

John Davis (founder of Wine Insiders, and Geja's Rest. in Chicago) has some really original, funny stories over at http://johnsstories.com.

Check him out if you haven't had the chance yet. He just started blogging in Sept 2009.

I nominate http://mumulesvignes.comminate ....If you really want to get an insiders view of wine and go a little "off the beaten track" by an expert, this is the blog to read. Mulan has a way of taking the novice or fine wine specialist and allowing them to become part of her latest adventure!

http://mumulesvignes.com

http://winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com is very informative and shows lots of personality (as well as excellent taste)

Wine For Normal People - winefornormalpeople.blogspot.com - is terrific!

I agree - Wine for Normal People is a great resource for all things wine and is written in a witty and informative way that makes it really easy to read. Definitely the best new wine blog!

Pullthecork for best new blog - focus on wine stories with some wine reviews - is wine serious or fun?
http://pullthecork.wordpress.com/

Thanks to Alan, Aris, Cynthia, David, Gregg, Jodie, Kelly from Parducci Wine Cellars, Lillyth, Linda Darkhand, Linda Durst, Lisa, Metis, Michelle, Nancy, Nikki, Sandra, Scotty, Shannon, Steve, and Ursula for nominating, seconding the nomination, even twentieth-ing the nomination of JohnOnWine.com for a 2010 Wine Blog Award in the Best New Wine Blog category. I truly appreciate all of your loyal and passionate support.

I have added every blog nominated in this thread to my blogroll. I urge my readers to explore the unique voices found in these other excellent blogs.

I have nominated all 8 blogs with posts dating from prior to April 1, 2009 for a Wine Blog Award in a different category than this one. I do not think the fans of Cherries and Clay, Dirty South Wine, Grape Smart, Louisville Juice, Millennier, Palate Press, The Wine Bloggers, and vintuba should see their attempt to nominate their favorite wine blog for an award in the wrong category count for nothing, I have nominated each of these in at least one other category on behalf of their fans.

Forty different new wine blogs, no two alike, have been nominated, with over 48 hours left to see more nominated, for a Best New Wine Blog 2010 Wine Blog Award.

Cheers to all,

John Cesano

John, maybe it's time we let the nominations take an organic course. Like wine, the more you interfere with the process the less it shows it's true character. I say we let the blogs speak for themselves.

Wayne,

Some argue for unfiltered unfined wines, I believe that paying attention to the process and responding to the natural direction, providing help as needed, can shape a better product, but to each his own.

I do take your larger meaning here.

Cheers,

John

Fair enough John. No hard feelings by the way, I appreciate your enthusiasm and supporting the other bloggers on here.

Wayne

I think Tom's writing is great too. With his first post on March 24, 2009, I am going to go nominate him in another category so your nomination isn't wasted. I've done the same for six other well written, and otherwise deserving, but slightly too old, blogs. Cheers!

I would like to nominate John Cesano for best new wine blogger/blog for 2010. John reports on matters of serious interest to the public with an open and professional style that I admire. He approaches every piece with thoughtfulness and hours of research under his belt. He has won over several devoted followers here atParducci winery and his posts are always well received by our followers on Facebook and Twitter.

Regards,

Kelly Lentz
Marketing & Sales Coordinator
Parducci Wine Cellars

Dear Kelly,

Thanks for the kind words, I truly appreciate them, and I know the judges will be moved by an endorsement from the winery on the cutting edge of every green initiative and trend.

Born and raised in Sonoma County, my day spent visiting with you at the winery and vineyards made me proud to be living in Mendocino County. Parducci and the Mendocino Wine Co is truly the greenest winery in the country, top to bottom, field to glass, all with an eye to the long term future and success of the winery.

Most importantly, your wines are delicious. Bob Swain is putting out delicious wines, without which all the green efforts in the world are meaningless.

Cheers, and thanks again!

John

http://alongpour.com/

i started drinking wine because of this

I would like to nominate blog.isaaksofsalem.com for it's original content in starting a winery. The blog is a credible source of information for anyone who dreams of starting a winery. (or has nightmares about it).

Thank you
Ian

(Disclosure, I am the Owner & Winemaker of the Isaaks of Salem winery & I write the blog)

It calls itself a magazine, but I think Palate Press, is a blog, it's new, and it meets the criteria described. I nominate it as Best New Wine Blog.

Perhaps you should submit them for Best Overall Blog, with their first post on January 24, 2008 they are a little too old for this category, regardless of whether a magazine should be considered a blog.

Palate Press launched September 10, 2009. Contributor information was back-dated to keep it from pre-empting new content, as we add new Contributors regularly. We never even considered the effect on awards such as this, just simple blog housekeeping. Whether we deserve it or not is another conversation, but Palate Press: The online wine magazine, certainly qualifies as new in this award period.

And as such, I second Robyn's nomination.

Cheers,

John

Alongpour.com! Nice website layout, creative, laid back, and even a little humor thrown in.

http://alongpour.com/
{Fifty-two weeks with California Wine}

Profiles a different California winery each week. Especially focusing on family-owned and sustainable wineries.

Alongpour is a different kind of blog that lets both the consumer and those withing the industry learn about the fascinating people behind our great California Wine.

Here's what some CA winemakers have expressed about Alongpour:

"On this blog, he profiles one winery each week. The profiles are done on-site, incorporate his excellent photography, and include an in-depth interview with a principal or winemaker at each winery. I think that the care that he takes on these pieces is evident in the results."- Jason Hass, Tablas Creek

"Wayne Kelterer is putting together a really cool wine blog where he spends time shooting the breeze with winemakers and then reports back on the personalities and stories of the people in the wine industry, rather than being an armchair Robert Parker with copious over the top tasting notes of wines he’s drank. His blog is interesting because it is stories and people and it looks very nice. He has interviewed some cool people… with plenty more to come!" - Dave Potter, Municipal Winemakers

Alongpour.com Wayne is amazing!

Happy Easter to all of the fans of new wine blogs!

I have added the three most recently nominated wine blogs to my blogroll:

The Vino File,
Wines of Croatia, and
winetimes

Adding these three newly nominated wine blogs brings the total of eligible wine blogs nominated for a 2010 Wine Blog award in the Best New Wine Blog category to 35, and nominations are open for three more days!

Wine Blogging is growing, and the new wine blogs are a source of vibrancy and excitement.

I nominated six wine blogs nominated in this category for an award in another category as they have all been posting since before April 1, 2009.

Rather than see the fans of these not quite new wine blogs have their nomination be in vain, I nominated the following six wine blogs for an award in the Best Writing On a Wine Blog category:

Cherries and Clay,
Dirty South Wine,
Grape Smart,
Millennier,
The Wine Bloggers, and
vintuba

I would like share my appreciation for the additional nominations of JohnOnWine.com by Jodie, Nikki, and Sandra.

Cheers to all!

John Cesano

Cheers John!

I nominate www.drinknectar.com from Spokane, Washington.

Drink Nectar

John's blog is a very good source of information. As a novice, I find the blog very interesting.

Dear Sandra,

Thanks for the the compliment. I try to keep things interesting and entertaining so that you don't get mad if you accidentally learn something.

*winks

Cheers,

John

I nominate Johnonwine.com for his excellent discussion of wine

Dear Jodie,

Thanks for your support from Australia.

My first subscriber is from Australia and he also lives in Melbourne.

I appreciate the International support from Australia's top food city, close to your version of our Russian River Valley, your Yarra Valley.

Cheers,

John

I nominate Cellarmistress Cellar Talk

Hi
I nominate: http://winetimes.co.za

I nominate:

http://www.thevinofile.net

Scott's blog over at The Vino File, is a relatively new young wine blog. The Vino File brings a fun, insightful, and well written prospective of Scott's journey in to the wine world. Great stuff!!!

I nominate JohnOnWine.com for Best New Wine Blog.

He is well written, very informative, and extremely knowledgeable.

Thank you Nikki.

I assume this nomination is from Nikki M, and not my facebook friend and wine writer supreme Natalie Maclean.

Cheers!

John

I nominate:

http://winesofcroatia.wordpress.com/

One of the rare sources of information about Croatian wines on the web. I expect wines from this part of the world to get increased amounts of attention in the next few years.

I am grateful to the Wine Blog Awards for introducing me to a host of new, incredibly talented, wine bloggers.

I spent the day visiting the wine blog of every other nominee in the Best New Wine Blog category. I had only 5 of my fellow nominees on my blogroll, now I have links to all 37 on my site's front page - which makes my blog the best place to start if you want to explore fresh perspectives of the highest quality on wine.

Seriously, congratulations to all of my co-nomineees, your company elevates me. Every one of these great new wine writers is just one click away when you visit http://JohnOnWine.com/

Mike's Log, Not A Blog (http://mikeslognoblog.blogspot.com/)

I nominate JohnonWine...he's the best!

Thanks Gregg.

If this is the Gregg I think it is, can you send this nomination on an IPad?

John

I nominate JohnOnWine.com for the Best New Wine Blog award.

Cynthia,

Thank you for your nomination!

John

Cellarmistress' Cellar Talk

I nominate http://www.grapesmart.net/ because it's always a fun and informative read.

Cellarmistress Cellar Talk http://cellarmistress.blogspot.com Grace brings us wonderful and personal stories from the wine universe...

Cellarmistress' Cellar Talk [http://cellarmistress.blogspot.com/]

Jordan Vineyard's new blog. They are not a self promoting Parker wanna be, so I like them.

Thanks, Wayne. I would nominate A Long Pour but you're already on the list, as expected.

http://thetravelinggrape.com/blog/ for her fun style and unpretentious approach towards wine. Her passion drove her to pick up her life from NC and move to Napa just three weeks ago and has already been featured on Grape Encounters Wine Radio!

For capturing the essence of the blogosphere especially when it comes to love of wine and the industry, www.dirtysouthwine.com gets my vote.

It's gotta be the cellarmistress for her unabashed 'full-steam ahead' style when writing about her taste experience. Grace's equal opportunity approach takes her readers along for the ride and when you can ride for free what's there to complain about! So check her out!!

http://cellarmistress.blogspot.com/

http://www.thewinedetective.co.uk/blog/

http://www.wine-life.co.uk/blogs/wine-news/

JohnonWine.com!

Michelle,

Thanks for your support, and for showing me the food farms and wineries of the Willamette Valley.

Cheers,

John

Knackered Mother's Wine Club
http://knackeredmotherswineclub.blogspot.com/

JohnonWine.com- great presentations of reivews with history, graphics and well detailed adventures. His Blog keeps my attention.

Steve,

Who would have guessed all those years ago that I would write about wine, and that you would read my wine writing. Now, Jack and Coke, that's a different thing.

John

I nominate www.undertakingwine.com. Its a great blog!!!

JohnOnWine.com is a great blog, I have enjoyed reading the information contained within it. Keep it coming.

Thanks a ton Dave,

(Well deserved, IMO) Nomination or not, I can guarantee that I will keep it coming!

John

This is a no-brainer- JOSH WADE DrinkNectar.com He's become a superstar overnight!!!

Cherries and Clay

I nominate JohnOnWine.com for the Best New Wine Blog award.
John's blog are written with passion and knowledge. They are very entertaining and educational. If you haven't read any of John’s blogs you should, you wouldn’t be disappointed. JohnOnWine.com

Thank you Ursula.

Your kind words, and your support, are touching.

Again, thanks.

John

Thanks to (alphabetically) Alan, Aris, Lillyth, Linda, Lisa. Metis, Nancy, Scotty, and Shannon for visiting this site and placing in nomination or seconding the nomination of my (our) wine blog, JohnOnWine.com, for Best New Wine Blog. Your loyal readership, and constant support means the world to me.

To the writers of the other 30 new wine blogs nominated so far, and the additional ones that will be nominated before April 7 passes, I am honored to be in your company, and proud to consider you my brethren and not competitors.

I am pleased that no one has to lose for another to win in the culture of wine blogging; we are strongest when our many different voices hit our own best unique note - together our individual works combined produce a powerful harmonious chord. We are indeed greater than the sum of our parts.

Cheers to my fellow nominees.

John Cesano
JohnOnWine.com

I hereby nominate JohnOnWine

It's the only one I will read!! :-)

Shannon,

Your loyalty is touching, and if you only have time to read one, well, mine is a good choice; but if you have the time, many of the other nominees are first rate writers and cover a very different ground.

Cheers,

John

I nominate www.wineforblondes.com. Not only is Megan Duma the smartest wine blogger you'll meet (also a successful attorney), she is also extremely passionate and charasmatic- charming even the most avid beer drinker into a wine lover!

John on wine! No body does it better.

Lisa,

Thanks for the kind words and support.

My mind is pretty good too.

Just sayin'.

Cheers,

John

I nominate http://www.simplehedonisms.com/ William meets the criteria for best new wine blog.

I second that!

Wine for Blondes is witty and brilliant, with direct insight into the wine industry all over the place.

www.WineForBlondes.com

Central Coast Uncorked has the best new wine blog I've come across. His writing is insightful and personal; you can tell he connects with the people he meets on his wine journey. The blog is set up in a way that makes it easy to read and easy to link my other social media to. The pictures are a great addition and not used in a way that distracts from the blog. I enjoy the humor, passion and simplicity in the writing. Best of luck to Central Coast Uncorked!

I'd like to second the nomination for "John on Wine" http://johnonwine.com/", written by John Cesano. I've shared his site with St. Louis-based friends who frequently return to our area with groups of friends in tow for wine and golf. A most knowledgeable resource, plus an enjoyable read for those well-versed in wine as well as the neophyte!

Thank you Linda,

I remember visiting you when you attended UC Davis, the nation's premier school for enology and viticulture education.

I visited St. Louis last year with my son over the Summer; I wish I was returning this year so I could visit with you. We are already scheduled to visit Indianapolis this year, however, so a reunion will have to wait.

Thanks for your years of friendship.

Thanks for the kind words and support.

John

My vote goes to John on Wine, definately the most rounded blog I've followed

Thank you Aris!

I appreciate both your support and your friendship.

Thanks for taking me out to see your falconry when I visited you and Nancy in Oregon's Applegate Valley wine region.

Cheers,

John

I nominate Wine for Blondes. Megan always takes the viewers on a new adventure and teaches him or her something new along the way.

John on Wine.

Thank you Lillyth.

You've shared the journey as my blog went from wine, food, and travel to more wine focused. I edited out over 60 non-wine posts back in December, and I thank you for sticking with me.

I thought as my focus narrowed that my appeal would diminish, but I am thrilled to report that the more focused on wine my blog became, the more readers visited daily.

Thanks for your support.

John

www.WineForBlondes.com

They're new, but fun, hip, and totally wine loving! The Video Blogging invites the user to become part of the wine experience - whether WFB is in the vineyard, tasting room, or winery they obviously love what they do and have a blast doing it.

I think "John on wine" offers a more realistic viewpoint and helps make the whole wine culture a little more accessible. I second the nomination.

Thanks Alan!

That we've worked together twice, and are still friends, is a testament to what swell guys we are.

Seriously, you are a wine professional, and your support means a lot to me.

Cheers.

I'd like to nominate "John on Wine" http://johnonwine.com/ is a blog written by John Cesano. It hasn't been around long, but WOW is he penetrating the wine industry. His posts make history, events and wine tastings approachable and fun to read both for old enthusiasts and for novices.

It's been a few years since I read a blog that was this stimulating on food or beverage. Pardicci has been one of my favorite standards for several years but blogs like this on bottles I don't know of, give me so much more to hunt for. http://johnonwine.com/2010/03/16/mendocino-wine-company-parducci-and-paul-dolan-vineyards/

Thanks Metis, for your long time friendship and constant support.

We began our friendship with a bottle of wine as a gift, and wine has flowed over time for us.

I wish I was in San diego, or you here, so we could hunt down a bottle or two together.

Give Mike a hug for me.

Love,

John

I gotta go with... JohnOnWine.com he writes where I feel informed.

Thanks Scotty.

I try to write to inform everyone from a wine novice to someone with a wealth of experience like you, all with a snob-free attitude.

I nominate http://wineharlots.com/wordpress/ for its accessibility and just plain fun attitude.

I nominate www.simplehedonisms.com for doing a great job of achieving its stated goal of connecting dedicated artisans with passionate consumers. This blog brings Sonoma wine country to life by highlighting the wine, people, events and food that make it special.

unsnobwine.com

Great quick updates of wine news and information for wine lovers.

grapesmart.net

Writing is entertaining and accessible, and the diversity of content (wines, sites, events, and guides) is great! We're all looking for wines we like for a good value and these recommendations and tasting notes are hugely helpful in that regard.

This is a tough category because so many people have come on the scene with amazing blogs in the last year. Thank you all for nominating www.drinknectar.com

My nomination goes to www.vinotology.com - Ben has done a fantastic job engaging the Texas audience as well as keeping things creative and witty without resorting to negative tactics to build buzz. He's a stand up guy who just happens to write about wine.

Thanks Josh, you are too kind. The first thing I did when I saw that nominations were open was head to this category to nominate you, but someone had already beat me to it. I can't think of anyone more deserving of this award than you, although you are right about there being a ton of amazing blogs that have started in the last year.

Josh Wade
www.drinknectar.com

Here's my nomination for Cellarmistress.blogspot.com. Grace works hard on the information she brings to her readers, and uses stories to get that information across. She cares a great deal about her blog, and about the wine she's reporting on. There's more than a little vino running through her veins.

Organic Wine Review gets my vote - they're new, organic and constantly evolving.

www.vintuba.com
informative, funny, broad range of topics. one stop shop.

I nominate Cellarmistress, because of it's enertaining, easy to read, informative nature. Grace's passion and knowledge for wine really come through!

http://www.grapesmart.net/
Light, yet full of body
Refreshing, and slightly witty
Enjoy it daily, goes down smooth

I nominate http://cellarmistress.blogspot.com/ because it is informative about wine from many regions including local Iowa wineries, is very well written, but mainly because of the author's passion and love for wine and her ability to communicate and share that with her audience.

http://www.TheWineBloggers.com
Is one of the best ad honest wine blogs I have seen.

drinknectar.com, vinotology.com, mywinewords.com, swirlsmellslurp.com

I nominate Cellarmistres' Cellar Talk blog spot!!

I nominate Cellarmistress’ Cellar Talk.

I nominate http://www.schiller-wine.blogspot.com for Best New Wine Blog for 2010. Mr. Schiller posts daily. His insight and knowledge about all sorts of wines spans the entire planet. The blog is entertaining to read, well detailed and very informative.

Thanks Ondine

I nominate Cellarmistres' Cellar Talk blog spot

I nominate Cellarmistress' Cellar Talk

I would very much like to nominate millenier.com, and I wish we had something similar in the UK!!

Well done!!

I would like to nominate http://www.vinumdiligo.blogspot.com a blog operating out of Sweden. Heike Larson posts about every other day about the world of wine. Her postings are always easy and fun to read.

I nominate Cellarmistress: http://cellarmistress.blogspot.com/

I would like to nominate cellarmistress. Great job Grace & good luck!

I nominate Organic Wine Review (http://www.organicwinereview.com/). From the more than 80 video blog posts they've created to date, I've been introduced to many organic wines I was unaware of. The videos are short (which means I actually take the time to watch each one in its entirety), entertaining, honest and most importantly informative. I think they are covering a section of the wine industry that is need of introduction and explanation to the every day wine drinker, and I think they are doing it well.

Love Vintuba. I have found some new great wines because of Vintuba.

Mal, Thanks so much for your support!

Best New Wine Blog? That would be millennier.com. 2 l's, 2 n's.

That's my nomination right there.

Millennials are no longer the biggest mystery to the wine industry...

http://www.millennier.com

I nominate Vintuba. http://blog.vintuba.com

Steve, thanks my friend and back at you!

I nominate 4488: A Ridge Blog
http://blog.ridgewine.com/

I nominate Jordan Winery's blog as I really enjoy reading their posts and keeping up with their happenings.

I nominate Grace Hoffman. She has a way of presenting her information on each wine that even a novice of the wines can understand.

Cellarmistress has done an amazing job since last WBC and starting, and maintaining - as well as attracting her audience. Good luck Grace!

Wine on the Rocks production and presentation is excellent, however, how loosely with the term blog be interpreted? Wine on the Rocks is a high-quality online TV show. Is that a blog? Maybe by Wiki standards, it does qualify http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog ... tough call. I'm not feeling commentary or online diary -- just great entertainment and education content like a online TV show.

Drink my words. I see Finkus has a text blog sidebar too.

am writing to nominate JohnOnWine.com for a Wine Blog Award in the Best New Wine Blog category.


John's blog is well read and highly ranked. His posts aren't puff pieces, but often run t thousands of words; he writes with passion and it is felt in each article he writes.


John started in April 2009, and has 66 posts, his writing has gotten better, richer, more full month by month, post by post.


Consider his event recaps, they are the most complete often surpassing the descriptions of wine writers who have been around the scene many more years:


Celebrating V. Sattui Winery’s 125th Anniversary


19TH Annual Zinfandel Festival


The Biggest Petite Event of them all – Dark & Delicious


Passion for Pinot Noir, a recap of the Pinot Noir Summit


John's interview with Ravenswood's Joel Peterson and Bedrock Wine Company's Morgan Twain-Peterson was a must read:


A conversation with Ravenswood’s Joel Peterson and Bedrock Wine Company’s Morgan Twain-Peterson


I look forward to each winery review John writes, it is almost like being there:


Feature Spotlight: Toad Hollow Vineyards


Featured spotlight winery: Keller Estates


Mendocino Wine Company: Parducci and Paul Dolan Vineyards


I tried to taste Fetzer’s, but tasted Topel Winery’s wines instead.


John provides wine reviews:


Nine Fine Wines reviewed, with my food pairings. All socially conscious.


2005 Toad Hollow Merlot Reserve, Richard McDowell Vineyard, Russian River Valley


As well as wine book and accessory reviews:


Getting Doon with Been Doon So Long


Age Gets Better With Wine


Friends don’t let friends Vacu-Vin


Finally, John handles tougher more controversial aspects of wine, wine and health, wine blogger ethics, proposed wine excise tax increases, and entertains while he educates his readers:


Wine and pregnancy, a healthy mix.


So, you don’t get wine writers or the wine industry? I know why.


Will Trader Joe’s be forced to sell Seven Buck Chuck?


Who is behind the “Alcohol-Related Harm and Damage Services Act of 2010″ Initiative?


With respect to all of the talented first year wine bloggers nominated, I think John Cesano has to be given serious consideration for this award. John's work is not just well read, it is referenced, tweeted, retreated, linked, and commented on with great regularity.

Thank you Nancy. If you wanted to ignore your husband and daughter to spend tome writing a wine blog, you would be a shoe-in for this award; you are one of the best writers I know.

I appreciate both your nomination, and, more importantly, your friendship.

Yak Yak always has a fun and interesting twist or take on whatever wine (or winery) he chooses to blog about. I would never want to play 'Yakima Valley Winery Trivia' with him - unless of course, I could be on his team!! Who else but a wine nerd would know the stuff he writes about??

I would like to nominate Yak Yak Wine as the Best New Wine Blog of the year.

I would like to nominate www.cellarmistress.blogspot.com as one of the new great wine blogs.

My Nomination is Jordan Winery's new blog, Tim

The more, the merrier. I read a number of the nominated wine blogs with some frequency. I would like to add sipwithme.blogspot.com

millennier.com

Leah's posts keep getting better and better. Funny, entertaining, insightful and relevant writing, not just for wine sales but for any large consumer-driven industry that's trying to target a young market.

yakyakwine.com

New blog for the much underserved fat, balding, 40-something men who live in the Yakima Valley.

Hey, Grace nominated herself, why can't I?

I also second the nominations of cellarmistress.com, vinotology.com, and drinknectar.com.

I honestly think we're all vying for second place behind Josh. (millineal notwithstanding)

Hey, wait a minute! "Fat, balding, 40-something," I resemble that remark!

I have to say that I agree with you on that. :) Josh is a rockstar!

Leah is a breath of fresh air for an otherwise snobby wine industry (or thus perceived by 20-somethings). Her perspective on wine and how the 20-somethings perceive both wine, and the world in general, is spot on. She is a voice for an under-served generation!

Millennier.com

Leah is well informed and understands that one major reason why early twenty-somethings shy away from buying wine is the fact that wine feels pretentious. However, Leah strips away the fear and makes wine accessible.

My vote is for millennier.com. Leah is informed, funny, cynical when needed and understands her audience and an audience of wine lovers (and not just milennials). She makes wine buying less scary, wine selling less pretentious, all the while making me laugh.

Millenier.com

Wine for our generation :)

Nobody writes more consistently & in depth about the Millennial generation & wine than Leah Hennessy. http://millennier.com/

notesfromthecellar.com

Forgot Notes From The Cellar even though I was nominating it for best wine reviews. My vote still counts if it went through the wash right? /Futurama quote

Thanks, Josh!

Grace Hoffman and http://cellarmistress.blogspot.com/ for best new wine blog

I am a veteran wine collector and taster who has been writing the Wine Country Insider blog (http://www.ktvu.com/fthorsberg/index.html) for the past 11 months. Our website is the second most popular news/information site in the San Francisco Bay Area market. Wine Country Insider typically focuses on California wines and wineries, with an occasional foray outside the Golden States when the opportunity presents itself.

Another vote for http://blog.jordanwinery.com/

Cheers!

Most definitely Jordan Winery. http://blog.jordanwinery.com/

I'd like to nominate the Jordan Journey, it's a great looking blog with fantastic writing.

I would like to nominate "Native Food and Wine" as the best new wine blog. The writer & photographer are traveling around the world to visit and compile information about different wine and food regions in the world. There is always background and historical information included in all of their posts. They have given us stories of Australian, New Zealand, Singapore, and now Tuscany region wines. They dig deeper into the cultivation and other ways people at their winery will adapt to making their own special wines. They have more than 1000 followers on FB and as an International Wine Examiner. The writer is a certified sommelier.

Wine, Spirits, and Song: http://www.winespiritsandsong.com/

I second that nomination

The new Jordan wine blog gives readers & viewers a Multifaceted look inside the winery and it operations that highlights current activities as well as seasonal changes in operations.

I nominate Fresh and Easy Wine Reviews at http://freshandeasywinereviews.blogspot.com/

A great blog if you're a Fresh and Easy shopper. I love being able to review, walk across the street, and have wine for dinner in no time!

They also have a nice weekly e-newsletter that you can subscribe to.

I'd like to recommend The Journey for its comprehensive and innovative style.

From all of us here at Jordan -- thanks for the nomination, Lori. http://blog.jordanwinery.com.

The Southern Oregon Wine Blog
www.southernoregonwineblog.com

Thanks Josh. Honored to be mentioned with some of the great blogs in here.
