Still, the archives are worth poking around in, and are quite relevant. A whole bunch of good info, and one of the places where I learned about blogging!

Another blog in the same state:

Brian is also pretty sporadic with his blogging these days, but go back and you’ll find a wealth of good guidance on getting started.

That said, you definitely forgot Inertia Beverage Group’s blog on all things Direct Sales.

Cheers

And thanks for the vote of confidence. I wonder whether the polyglots amongst us could put together a version of your list to bring together those international blogs. I’ll see what I can find

If I were to recommend a reading list to European wineries, for example, I would switch some on the list to blogs in Europe such as your blog, Spittoon and Catavino. I would also point out that there are great wine blogs written in French, Spanish and Italian that would probably also be worth following if you understood the language. But my winery and social media picks would be the same as I don’t know of any better picks in those areas.

Thanks for keeping it global, Robert!

10 Blogs Every AMERICAN Winery Owner Should Read

Sorry!

Thanks for the list.

Of course, there is a serious point to this as well. Although I agree any winery, particularly if they are targeting the US market, would get something from reading these sites, they are almost entirely US focused.

I see there being three overall categories here:
A. Wine information sites
B. ‘Best Practice’ Winery sites
C. Generic ‘Web 2.0′ thinking

The vast majority of the content of sites in category A, like ShipCompliant and even Fermentation would be alien and not relevant to wineries from anywhere else in the world.

I do agree that any winery would learn a lot from Pinotblogger, El Bloggo Torcido etc. but it would be hard to justify to a time-poor winery owner that they ought to read them every day.

I’d be really interested to hear what your suggestions would be if you were talking to an audience made up exclusively of the other 98% of wineries in the world? Do you think it would be different?

Dang…
