Vintank, the Digital Think Tank in the Wine Business

September 21, 2009

Wine travel with Web 2.0 tools?

September 17, 2009

I’m fascinated by the use of the Web 2.0 tools made by consultants, wineries, start-ups in the wine business. Everyday there is a new site, a new application, a new idea by someone or a company.

Until then I must confess my ignorance of this somewhat illustrious Academy founded in 1994 “to encourage wine writers, the craft of wine writing, and wine coverage in the media”.
