Wine Bloggers' Conference 2011 - Part II - The Novel

----------------------------------

WARNING. IT. IS. LONG.

The 2011 Wine Blogger's Conference held in beautiful Charlottesville, VA was, for me, a fun-filled, thought-provoking, even inspiring weekend. 

BUT

I have to admit that when I first arrived at WBC11 I was feeling a little, shall we say...

FUSSY

Wine Bloggers' Conference Part I - THANK YOU!

I have to start by saying Thank You for the millionth time (and it wouldn't be enough!) to the generous donors who made my scholarship to WBC 2011 possible.

THANK YOU! 

Wine Ophelia goes (BACK) to Virginia! 2011 Wine Blogger's Conference!

A Prelude to a Conference.

BOOOOH YAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I got a scholarship! I got a scholarship!! Yay! Yay! YAY!

Whew... ok.  (fans self.) I'm ok. Really. But DUDE! I'm GOING TO WBC11!! THIS WEEKEND!

Ok, ok.  I'll stop shouting. But seriously. I couldn't be more excited to meet up with some people who have become dear friends, to meet people whose work I admire so very much, and to learn a TON about how to make my blog the best it can be for you, my dear readers! All 5 of you ;o)

The Perfect Summer Red - Lieb Cellars - 2008 Bridge Lane Cabernet Franc

MASSIVELY HUGE DISCLAIMER:  

I WORK FOR LIEB CELLARS. I BOUGHT THIS WINE FOR MYSELF. 

I REALLY LIKE IT.

Ok. I feel better now, don't you?

So. I've been hanging out in the tasting room lately so I can meet as many of my FABULOUS!! wine club members as possible and to show off our yummy wines to our throngs (and I mean throngs) of admirers. I've been pouring a LOT of our wine.
