I nominate http://vinonyc.wordpress.com.

OK, maybe this is completely out of line, but I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to nominate my own blog. Do people do that? Does it count?

In this category, I suggest for nomination my blog, NotesFromTheCellar.com ... for a very specific reason. 100% of the imagery that appears on my blog is either (a) shot by me, or (b) appropriately-attributed Creative Commons-licensed imagery. In other words, I go out of my way to stay completely within the confines of applicable copyright law.

Now, I'm not saying the other nominees suggested here DON'T do that, or are all copyright-flaunting image thieves... but I do believe that this particular fact about NFTC _might_ set it apart, and I believe it is important to comply with copyright laws.

They always have the best photography -- they make you think with their provocative images.

Cynthia

http://www.winethink.net/ has a great look. It's not self-consciously hip looking, but it is a 'magazine' style that is well-laid out and the photographs in the posts often do more than just provide a picture of what the post is about--often the photos provide a commentary of their own.

Andres

vinography.com publishes great vineyard/wine photography

Scott

I'd also like to nominate VinoNYC ( http://vinonyc.wordpress.com/). Their graphics are always vibrant, witty and original.

John Corcoran

Jen

I nominate Seattle Wine Gal (http://www.seattlewinegal.com) for Best Single Subject Wine Blog. Her blog focuses on helping local wine shops and wineries promote their businesses using the latest social media tools. A very unique niche which is exponentially valuable in promoting the local wine industry in general.

One of my favorite sites with great graphics and overall design appeal is www.swirlsmellslurp.com

William Lee

I nominate VinoNYC. Their blog is highly informative and the writing is articulate, yet light hearted. Their most enjoyable attribute is their visual layout. It is very pleasing to the eye, with nice colorful shots yet not overbearing in the least.

Catherine L Luke

Vino's blog is always filled with the most vibrant, appropriate, yet education and visually pleasing images. It is fantastic.

If it is true that great wine starts in the vineyard, then great wine photography starts in the vineyard as well. I nominate vinogirl's Vinsanity site based on the strength of the photography contained therein.

IWG's use of images and original photography is sui generis, pushing the envelope of what wineblogging can be.

dal piaz's photography during his reporting on Italy last year should be mentioned here. From architecture to food shots, the articles were peppered with great shots.

Stacy Mateer

www.mywinewords.com is my nomination

Christine

I nominate www.mywinewords.com! The passion for wine is easily evident among Peter & Allie, yet, their depth of knowledge doesn't prevent them from being completely approachable. They have fun with it and it shows.

Mick

sourgrapes.ie - some great examples of video on the site - the great thing is putting the subject as the focal point of the video, rather than himself.

Some examples:

Dale Cruse at DrinksAreOnMe.net does have great presentation. I really like the look and flow of DrVino.com too. Jeff at GoodGrape.com also has great presentation. Tough to pick a favorite.
