Calling All Bloggers – Write Something about a Local Wine During Regional Wine Week
Calling All Bloggers – Write Something about a Local Wine During Regional Wine Week
CALLING ALL BLOGGERS: This year, we’re shooting to get as many regional bloggers and writers as possible from around the United States and Canada (who aren’t in California or the Pacific Northwest) to write about wines from right here (i.e. wine from their own backyards) – wherever “here” might be.
You can write about any wine you want, and you don’t have to be some of sort of wine geek. Just go to your local winery, wine shop or supermarket and get a bottle that suits your tastes – Cabernet, Syrah, Viognier, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Catawba, Niagara, Norton, or a good white or red blend….your choice. It can even be the simple homemade stuff as long as it was made with local (or in my case Texas) grapes.

Have you covered any wines made from grapes grown in Florida. There is a French-American hydrid grape that was developed at the U of F called, Blanc du Bois that has muscat in its lineage. It was developed specifically for hot, humid climates where vinifera varietals just cannot hold up or are susceptible to Pierce's Disease. Wines made from BdB from around the country (including Texas) BdB is now winning awards in national and international competitions.
Our focus this week is Regional/Local wines not from CA, OR or WA. NY barely squeek in.
