European Wine Bloggers Conference 2010 – Ongoing Series
I am finally back in the comfort of my own winery after a long and wonderful trip to Paris and Vienna. The European Wine Bloggers’ Conference was an absolute blast. The word for the week was overwhelming. Lots of wine, lots of learning, lots of laughing, lots of beauty. Everything was just wonderful.
I guess we should break this up into multiple posts because the trip was sooo varied and momentous.
Alright, an ongoing series on the EWBC 2010 in Vienna and the surrounding Austrian wine country. As the series goes on, I’ll update this post to be a sort of index or table of contents for the EWBC posts, photos and links.
Keynotes and Tastings that virtually everybody did:
- Elin McCoy on Ivory Tower Wine Journalism
- Response to Elin’s keynote from David Schildknecht
- Elin’s thoughts on these posts – coming soon.
- Evan Schnittman on Digital Publishing
- tutored tasting of Austrian Wines with Naked Wines & tutored tasting of Wines of Chile.
The mini-conferences and workshops:
- Online Wine Commerce (this post is sort of goofy)
- Freedom, Rights and Responsibilities
The press trips and parties:
- A visit to Iby with video of the winemaker
- Parties, Photos, and Michael Cox showing how the wines of Chile get down
Other pertinent, less insane articles about the EWBC:
- Mr. Payton goes to Washington.. err .. Parliament in Vien. This is a really ingenious piece where Ken Payton visits the Austrian parliament without an appointment (or any idea of who he even wants to talk to) and asks if anybody can help him learn about Austrian wine law. I wish I had ideas like this.
- Jim Budd – On the EWBC keynotes – Comparing Elin McCoy’s views to Robert Parker’s – “the art of lunch in Vienna” or “More than you wanted to know about Jim’s Schnitzel”
- Gottfried from Herrenhoff’s illicit guerrilla tasting video
- MyGrapeEscape talks about back labels and Oscar’s Wine
- Andre from Adegga has a pretty complete recap of his EWBC trip and video of harvesting in the Weinviertel! The bloggers actually got to pick some grapes.
- Jamie Goode skips EWBC to hang out with his kids. LIKE THEY MATTER?
- Arnold Waldstein’s recap and tasting notes and recommendations
- Bibendum Times talks about harvesting in the Weinviertel

Great list already. You will find two other blogposts on EWBC at Wijnkronieken.nl, one on Roter Veltliner, and one on the conference itself….

Ryan,
Thanks for putting this together! This is a fantastic resource.
I have an ongoing series of articles and videos about all of the Austrian appelations (DACs) that we visited during the trip as well as the wine bars of Vienna which I visited with two other EWBC participants, Ruth and Sylvia. I have three more articles with videos that will be appearing soon as well. Here is the link:http://www.haidu.net/magazine/tag/Austrian%20Wine%20Adventure%20Tour
With the free Haidu iPhone app you can also locate several Austrian wine bars and wine-friendly restaurants as well as wineries on google maps and also find reviews about the restaurants and articles and blog entries too! @wisequeen also has a great article aboput the #ewbc there.
Thanks Ryan!

@Mariella, Thanks! I hope I can keep it up to date. Thanks for the tips.
@Julia, The pleasure is mine. Thanks for reminding me of the Austrian Wine Adventure Tour. Even though it’s not strictly EWBC, it’s a real resource for anybody who is writing about Austria after the conference
@Magnus, Phew, I sometimes look at all that bork bork bork and think it might be Norwegian … But I seemed to recall you being from Sweden. It was a pleasure to meet you and your lady. I hope you had as much fun as I did!!
@Ken, always a pleasure. Seriously, awesome idea to visit parliament and ask about wine law. I hope to be as inspired on my future trips.
@Schiller, HOW TIRED AM I? I can’t even tell English from German. Thanks for the correction and thanks for your post!!
@Eamon, Dude, it’s a pleasure. And it was cool meeting you. Til next time!!
