A Great Example Of Winery Blogging

This post from Tablas Creek.

What makes it great?  It satisfies the three requirements: interesting, informative, and useful.  It's well-written and tells a story, which makes it interesting.  It contains lots of information about wines under screwcap and cork, so it's not fluff.  And if you drink wine, it's actually useful to you when selecting wines.

It's not trying to sell you on Tablas Creek wines, although they are clearly part of the story.

What it really sells is how fundamentally passionate Jason & Co. are about the wines they produce.

First runner up: this post from Sanglier Cellars.

TC and Jason have an outstanding wine blog. But I do have one criticism. No linkroll. Really bad form.

If Tablas Creek actually had a linkroll and linked out to the wider wine blogging world more often I dare say they would be discovered by a bunch more people. Folks tend to reciprocate. It's the nature of the online wine world.

After all, that's exactly what happened when Asimov linked to them. :-)

Thanks, Mike. I'm happy that you found the article helpful and appreciate you spreading the word to your audience.

It's interesting to me that the post that I did 18 months ago about Blogs that Inspire (http://tablascreek.typepad.com/tablas/2008/03/some-of-the-oth.html) in which I recommended that people follow The Winery Web Site Report is as true now as it was then.

Josh, I do speak about other blogs in the world of wine pretty frequently, although I don't believe in the blogroll for commercial blogs. You can view posts where I've written about other wine blogs at http://tablascreek.typepad.com/tablas/wine_blogs/index.html

Thanks again,
