Nominate Now: Best Single Subject Wine Blog

How about my website www.MadeiraWineGuide.com as one of the main sources for any information about Madeira wine?

As an online marketer for wineries, the Winery Web Site Report (http://blog.winerywebsitereport.com/) is the place I go to find out what's real, what's hype, what's necessary, what's coming up next. Great writing, very professional.

The Southern Oregon Wine Blog! www.SouthernOregonWineBlog.com
Great news and reviews for a soon-to-be wine powerhouse.

I'd like to second rogerrhodes' nomination of Tom Hyland's blog http://learnitalianwines.wordpress.com/ . Not only is Tom's site an invaluable source of information about Italian wines in themselves, but Tom puts the wines into context by profiling the people, describing the places and terroirs, and relating the relevant history. This sort of context helps wine become an intellectual experience as well as a sensory one.

great coverage of Washington wines at http://wine-beer-washington.com
They cover the little guys as well as the big ones. I like how they try to tell the story behind the wine. They also have several authors with different palates and perspectives. Ed is great and hilarious, wish he posted more.

I'll nominate Bob Dwyer's http://www.wellesleywinepress.com/

I'd like to nominate Winery Web Site Report. As a small wine producer, it's provided a wealth of information for me and given me some great ideas.

I'd like to nominate Washington Wine Report, New York Cork Report and Michigan by the Bottle.

I would like to nominate "The New York Cork Report" at http://www.lenndevours.com/
This site is very informative and a go-to source for all things involving New York wines.

I would like to nominate Markus Stolz' http://www.elloinos.com/ site. It brings greek wines closer to the consumer, offers a lot of valuable insight and information. It's a gateway to a new wine segment, that seems to be underrated and under-represented. I hope they keep up the good work. Definitely most innovative wine blog for 2010.

I'll nominate Mike Duffy's http://www.winerywebsitereport.com/

Hey, and if anyone is into Lodi wines, consider my site: http://www.lodiwineguy.com

I nominate http://learnitalianwines.wordpress.com/ for the information on the diverse wines of Italy. Tom Hyland does a great job of bringing the wines and the vintners to his readers.

Tim Lemke from cheapwineratings.com

I nominate My Wine Education http://www.wine-girl.net for this category.

I would like to nominate SIP OF SPOKANE (www.sipofspokane.com) as the single categoryWine Blog of the Year. They consistently do an amazing job of informing their followers of what is happening in the Spokane Wine Scene - and it is so much more than anyone would know without subscribing to the blog. It is consistent, timely, informative, fun and interesting

http://alsacewine.info/ focuses on Alsatian wines. Based on the way it looked at the beginning, it was originally intended to simply provide good, solid information on the wines of Alsace. However, as the information side nears completion (it looks like it's almost there), there is more commentary in the style I expect from a good blog.

I nominate My Wine Education http://www.wine-girl.net for this category because Michelle make wine accessible for inexperienced Cincinnnatians/Midwesterners. Anyone, regardless of how unfamiliar they are with wine, can feel comfortable, learn, and not feel like someone is talking down to them when they read this blog. As far as wine blogs go, it's one of the best. This blog is a great asset to Cincinnati.

the Sip of Spokane Wine blog is awesome. I love the focus on local wines, so when I am heading to the store to purchase Sip recommendations help me choose local wines and try new wines with confidence. I like to support the Spokane and Washington wine industry with my purchases. Sip makes me smart about my choices. I also love the events for local wine tastings and live music combos. I frequently check Sip to see what is happening when I want to do something fun. Sip's wine blog is entertaining, educational and very helpful! Thank you Sip for teaching us to buy local wines.... You are the Best Wine Blog for 2010 - I choose you!

Thanks Lori and Dionne. You are both too kind.

I nominate Sip of Spokane for the 2010 Wine blog awards.. I love the interesting spin on local wine as well as the "Sip Trips" to various wine makers in Washington. I always go tot he site to whats happening in the wine world in Spokane.. I try recommendations as well. I am a Red Wine drinker mostly the blends.. I love the Robert Karl Claret.

I nominate My Wine Education http://www.wine-girl.net for this category.

Jim Budd's Loire-focussed blog - posts very frequently, several times a week and gives high quality independent information. All Loire Valley aficionados swear by this blog.
http://jimsloire.blogspot.com/

I nominate Sip of Spokane for Best New Wine Blog. Check the blog and you'll know why! Great information for newbies but sophisticated and informative enough to keep the connoisseurs coming back! My ultimate reference for wine. Laurie is terrific!

Thanks Andrea for the nomination, as well as, for following SIP.
Think globally, drink locally.

WE nominate Josh Wade of DrinkNectar.com!

I Nominate JOSH WADE from "DRINKNECTAR.COM" from Spokane Washington.

I like www.drinknectar.com Spokane wine focus. He brings a good mix of Spokane, fun posts, and other wine reviews.

Josh from http://drinknectar.com has done a great job in Spokane and promoting the local scene. He does weekly wine events and has reviewed 10 of the 16 local wineries and several wine bars too. I look forward to his posts on our area.

Another great single subject wine blog is www.michiganbythebottle.com

Shannon and Courtney are doing some of the best work out there to bring exposure to one of the "other 46"

Keep up the good work guys

Thank you!

I nominate a super blog with a catchy name - Sip of Spokane. Laurie Ross is passionate about sharing Spokane's wine culture. She is reliably in the know, and I consistently click on Sip's blog to get my info. on local wine and events.

Thank you.

I would sincerely like to nominate ...http://winebizradio.com/. These guys have given The Best Wine Industry People Interviews.

To my dismay, I didn't run across the enormously funny writing of Ron Washam and his viciously brilliant send up of pretension and self importance, whether he finds it in wine or the blogging thereof. The great news is that I have an entire archive of entertainment to read.

I nominate HoseMaster of Wine http://hosemasterofwine.blogspot.com/ for an award I am confident he doesn't want.

John,

Thanks for the nomination, very kind of you. I wonder, though, why this category and not, say, Best Writing?

You were less damning of this award category than the Best Writing category in your recent entertaining send up of the Wine Blog awards.

I was so close to nominating you there, but I didn't want you to feel I was insulting you.

Cheers,

John

Ron I was thinking the same thing. I kept checking the Best Writing category for your name and was freaking out that no one had put you there....and as to my promise not to, might have to break that as you so deserve to be in that category.

I nominate:

http://www.wawinereport.com/.

I would like to nominate Laurie L Ross of www.sipofspokane.com I can always count on her to keep me in the know. Always current, creative and tasteful. I look forward to checking out her blog whenever I am online.

Thank you Christine. I hope to meet you out tasting sometime.

Good Wine Under $20 http://goodwineunder20.blogspot.com/

Thanks you very much. Happy to also hear you have yurned into a ZinfanGal.

please consider Vintage Texas by Russ Kane.

I would like to nominate Vine Views [http://grandcruclasses.com/vineviews/] for this category. Jared Skolnick provides a unique perspective as he chronicles both his experiences as an amateur grapegrower and winemaker as well as his foray into biodynamics.

Thanks, Tracy. Not sure why the hyperlink didn't work, but it's:

http://grandcruclasses.com/vineviews/

Sip of Spokane shares the best of NW wines while being witty and funny! Love the creative photos that accompany the blogs as well! Hands down the best wine blog on Facebook and has my vote!

Thanks Stacey (formally of Spokaloo)

Without a doubt Laurie Ross, the writer behind Sip of Spokane, has done an incredible job of highlighting wines from the Inland Northwest. Our local wine industry will significantly benefit from the Sip of Spokane blog.

Thank you so very much for nominating www.sipofspokane.com for the 2010 Wine Bloggers Awards. :)

Michigan By The Bottle: www.michiganbythebottle.com

Michigan By the Bottle
www.michiganbythebottle.com

http://insiderioja.wordpress.com/

Had to think about this for a while...but my vote is for
http://scmwine.blogspot.com
Santa Cruz Mountains and Santa Clara Valley Wines

Do Bianchi for his fantastic wrting on Italian wines.
http://dobianchi.com/

thanks Vinogirl. The feeling is mutual! :-)

My vote for my friends of Catavino!

Lizzy

I'd like to 2nd the nomination for Catavino http://catavino.net/ for their great coverage of Iberia, and the focus this gives for Portuguese and Spanish wineries!

Lenn Thompson and team

www.newyorkcorkreport.com

Virginiawinetime.com

Great coverage of the Old Dominion, my pick for #1 wine state (of the Other 46).

Without a doubt because of his in depth reports, weekly wrap ups
www.wawinereport.com

Lenn-
www.lenndevours.com

At the risk of looking like a Texas homer, I nominate www.vintagetexas.com. Russ Kane does an amazing job of covering the world of Texas wine.

Ditto for southernoregonwineblog.com

If I had no pride I would nominate my own Washington wine blog but I still have some scraps of decency so I take a knee for Sean Sullivan's Washington Wine Report - http://www.wawinereport.com/. He does a great job covering the news of Washington wine but even better, he captures the story behind Washington wines.

I nominate Winesooth.com

NorCalWine
