Slide show from the LIWF, London 2009
Last week was the London International Wine Fair and to say I had a great time would be an understatement. It was 3 perfect days of discovering, tasting and non-stop talking about wine, wine and more wine. I truly never get bored of talking about wine. This is the third year I’ve gone and even though it seemed to be familiar territory, there’s always something new. I also managed to make it to the Distil show this year, which was all about the spirits.
This year in particular, my wineblogger friends from Catavino and Adegga were there to promote the winebloggers conference taking place in Portugal this Autumn. Needless to say, the European Winebloggers conference stand became my home away from home during the 3 days of the fair. I met lots of great producers, tried some interesting and fabulous wines and hung out with both old and new friends. I’d like to shout out to Andrew from Spittoon, Jean from Cooksister, Bibendum Dan and Bibendum Erica, Rob (Wine conversation), German winemaker Patrick Johner, Ryan and Gabriella Opaz (Catavino), Andre R. (Adegga), Penny from my fave Chelsea winecellar, The Bluebird, The winemaestro, and my friends from Oddbins, Eleanor and Ana and all the wonderful peeps I met at the fair this year.
During the next few weeks, I’ll be posting videos from the fair so keep an eye out for interesting, informative and (I hope) entertaining videos. Until next year’s wine fair…Cheers!
This is truly a wonderful example of how to turn a report on a wine conference into something fun and interactive! Thanks for the great example!
Hi Gabriella, I really like that slide.com site, it’s got lots of cool widgets and stuff. Maybe I’ll do more with it. Cheers!
Hey Denise, I look forward to watching your future video posts. Very cool
Hi Girl! glad you enjoyed it, stay tuned for the next few videos!
It was great seeing you again together with some other EWBCers. Nice to know that a small booth could be should a comforting place!
