The Oregon and conference folks understand this, so there were several opportunities to visit individual wineries at the conference as well as great tours of the AVAs hosted by the wineries therein. We had a great visit to the Columbia Gorge AVA and met with four winemakers. Very useful. So the conference serves this function and then tries to go beyond it. How successful were the other parts? It depends upon who you ask. My post focused on the industry interest in event, which is appropriate for The Wine Economist.

I’m sure a conference like this can be a fun event, but I’m not yet convinced that they can be more than navel-gazing. Basically, I still don’t see why visiting such an event offers more value to a writer than visiting a new wine estate – at least, with end goal of relevant site content in mind. (?)
Best!
Bill

If you missed the 2012 Wine Bloggers’ Conference (like I did) and you are looking for more motivation to attend next year (none needed here). This is a great recap. Perhaps equally important is the embedded video from King Estates featuring the menu and suppliers for their featured dinner during the conference. The video expresses King Estate’s involvement in culinary endeavors and their strong commitment to local and sustainable ingredients. Cheers!
