Catavino’s Rioja Report

April 16th, 2008

What the good guys at Catavino are doing for Iberian (Portuguese and Spanish) wine is great. They are basically using the Web and telling the World about how great Iberian wines and wineries are. With that goal in sight, their latest project is a report on La Rioja.

A crazy amount of work must have been taken to put together this kind of information. There’s lot’s of good stuff to see and read (and drink!). An interactive map of wineries, a local food guide and a useful how to read a La Rioja wine label.

Good thing we’ll be visiting La Rioja for the European Wine Bloggers Conference.

European Wine Bloggers Conference 2008

February 21st, 2008

Ryan and Gabriella from Iberian wine blog Catavino and Robert McIntosh from The Wine Conversation are putting together the first ever Wine Blogger conference.

European Wine Blogger Conference 2008 - EWBC2008

The idea is to bring together wine bloggers from Europe and the rest of the world in a event where we can all drink, eat and have plenty of discussions.

Quoting the conference website:

It is an exciting time for those who blog regularly about wine. The trade is waking up to the benefits of interacting with bloggers, and together we represent a potential alternative to the traditional media.

We at Adegga also believe in Wine Bloggers and we’ve been developing tools (for example our Wine Blogger Accounts) that help wine bloggers promote and share their passion for wine.

The conference is happening on the 29th, August in La Rioja, Spain and we’ll be there (of course).

A lot of interesting people have confirmed they’ll also be there:

If you’re coming and would like to meet, drop us an email.
