July is the summer month — full of sun, fun, festivals, and gatherings. This year, two of my favorite things are showcased in July of 2009 — good wine at The Second Annual North American Wine Bloggers Conference and the sounds of jazz at the Montreal Jazz Festival.
The WineEnabler Crew attended the First Annual […]

Update: Our visual change-over is underway!
Hello to our readers! I just wanted to write a quick note to let you all know that the entire WineEnabler.com site is about to look a lot different. We’ve been working on a redesign that is about to go live.
The site updating may start as early […]

This was my first large-scale wine tasting ever, […]

We had five minutes to taste it, talk about it, and then write down our impressions of the wine. We tasted 13 […]

Okay. Tomorrow I’m off to the 2008 Wine Bloggers Conference in Sonoma, CA. Neil and our better halves arrived in San Francisco today, but I am lagging behind due to a conference I’m at for my day job.
Expect lots of posts either over the weekend or immediately afterward. We’re going to get […]

If you read WineEnabler.com and you don’t blog, you might be interested in starting a wine blog of your own. (Or, for that matter, you might want to start a blog about something else.)
