I am afraid that I cannot visit Spain during the last weekend of August as I will be showing my wines at The Wines from Spain sponsored Chatsworth Show.

If there is any slippage in dates to September then I would be keen to know.

Hi Julian, it's a small world. I really hope to meet you in Barcelona.

This is a very good idea - I've put up a brief post about this to appear 24th January. If I can arrange it, of course I'd love to come - but we're busy here and getting busier all the time. You never know, though. PS Ireland's a wine blogging country too - Irish wine blogs increased in number threefold in the last year! (there are three now)

David, no I don't know his wines as of yet, though I love Terra Alta...Joan and me have been talking and he is a prolific wine lover and blogger!

Much more of a response on everyone's posts soon!

PS, any chance you have tried Laureano´s wine? (nedless to say, I haven't)
here's a link to his site, in case not--
http://www.serres.net/

I've also had some contact with Joán Gómez Pallarés, as the man is a veritable encyclopedia on grape varieties & subvarieties, & I must say I'm looking forward to meeting him, as well as Gabriella & you!

Ryan,
I don't know how I'm going to schedule all i want to do this year. I'm still holding on to the possiblity of putting my name on a barrel of 2008, say, Bonarda, before I quit Mendoza. Even if that doesn't work, I believe I'm developing some relationships for the longer term.
I celebrate my 25th graduation anniversary from NYU this year, & I hope to contribute a half-case of Italian wine i couldn't get sent to Puerto Rico towards an informal gathering of NY based wine bloggists-- let's see who turns up on short notice!
As for Spain, I've had some contact with Laureano Serrés in Terra Alta about making the wines I'd like to vinify as natural as I can bear to risk it-- he offered to be 'on call' for support, so I was planning to return the good will trying to make myself useful around crush in Catalunya...but of course, as long as I'm looking at being around 'las Espanyas' as Harvest gears up, i hope i can lend you a hand in whatever logistics & language issues I can be halfway efficient at. Onward & upward--

un abrazo, David J

Hi Ryan, I'll do my best to sponsor the Alimentaria Wine Blogging Dinner through Bodegas Tintoralba
(tintoralba.com/blog). About the EWBC in Rioja, I could contact some of the wineries I know to see if/how they can collaborate.

I suggest we get together for Alimentaria at Tuesday 11-March-2008, the second night of the fair.

Any suggestions where?

Emilio

Great initiative! It would be nice to meet other wine bloggers, share wines and experiences with them. I will give a good think about Rioja and any contacts that may be useful. If I can be of help in other ways, here in London, let me know.

Waiting for a date for the dinner at Alimentaria.

Thanks to all for the support so far! I think this will be a success, all we need now is to nail down some dates. PLEASE send this to everyone you know who may be interested. I'm going to put up a poll and have all of you vote on the best dates for you. We are a bit limited, but I think we can find something that works for the majority of the people.

Stay tuned for more info!

A great idea!.
I will try to attend it and, of course, I would record the meeting for Vinus Television.
