The Adegga Blog

We’ve just received the first ever Adegga t-shirt and it feels so good to wear something about what we so passionately work every day! Yes, we’re feeling proud!

We ordered just one example but we might do more.
We need your opinion! Should we make more? Or should we make a new design?

The European Wine Bloggers Conference 2009 is fast approaching so we couldn’t be more excited!

The 2009 EWBC will take place from Oct. 30 to Nov 1st in Lisbon, Portugal and this year’s theme is The Future of the Social Wine Brand. You can expect lots of challenging conversations from winemakers, wine writers, wine bloggers, marketers, foodies, retailers and distributors from around the world.

Who should attend

• Individual Bloggers who write about wine or the wine industry, no matter what their professional background is
• Winery Bloggers who have a winery-related blog (special workshops will be available specifically for you)
• Wine Retailers who have a blog, whether reach out to customers or even to the wine Press and the rest of the trade
• New Media Innovators, such as foodies, travel, tech, designers, etc, who participate in the world of blogging and social media and have an interest in wine
• Wine Industry Professionals who would like to learn about new media or interact with bloggers

For tickets, venue and hotel please check the details page.

We’re sponsors!
Adegga is a sponsor of the conference and we’ve been helping the organizers (Ryan and Gabriella from Catavino and Robert) with setting up the event.

Sponsors include Viniportugal, Vinhos do Alentejo, DOC-DMC, Douro Boys, Amorim, Enoteca de Belém, Herdade do Esporão and others. (if you’re interested in sponsoring the event contact the organizers at sponsor@catavino.net)

Don’t miss
There’s lots of interesting things happening during the conference but be sure not to miss the Pre-Conference EWBC Gathering at Cortes de Cima Winery and the The Douro Boys Grand Tasting. I’m sure both will be unforgettable experiences.

Are you planning on attending?

We’ve just launched a brand new service: Adegga Answers!

What is it?
Adegga Answers is a place where anyone can ask any question about wine.

Who answers the questions?
You, me and all the other members of the community can help you find an answer to your question.

If you’re following someone who posted a new question you’ll be able to see the question and the answers on your activity list. This way you can easily be updated when there’s a new question from one of your friends.

Adegga Answers is like Yahoo! Answers but for wine lovers. It’s a place where we can all discuss wine related subjects. If you’re wine novice please ask your questions! If you know a lot about wine this is the place to share your knowledge.

We hope you like it. Any suggestions or bugs please let us know. We’ll make sure to implement them quickly.
