Best Winery Produced Content – Born Digital Wine Awards

Wednesday, May 23, 2012

I’m really proud to have been awarded the Born Digital Wine Award for Best Winery Produced Content for my post about who visits vineyards. This is my favorite category because I love when wine-producers tell their own stories. And it’s a huge honor to hear that people think I’m doing a good job. The judges all do work I admire and it’s great to think that wineries can be rewarded for writing casual content for everyday wine drinkers.

Thanks for all your support. 🙂
