European Wine Bloggers Conference, Vienna

It is European Wine Blogging Conference time once again; off to Vienna to stick on the motly collection of the great as well as the great from the booze blogging world.

Last year the tour was done wholly by train; London to Lisbon around the Channel Tunnel as well as Paris as well as an overnighter, the SudExpress, by Spain to Lisbon. An sparkling small adventure pre-Wine Blogging conference, finish with thriving amounts of Champagne to lubricate the passage.

For 2010 the third European Wine Bloggers Conference is receiving place in Vienna (at the Schnbrunn Palace no less). A week end of packed full of seminars, booze tastings as well as vineyard visits awaits. Vienna is another brand brand new city for me so we hope, unlike Lisbon, to take some time out to explore it. While time constraints mean we wont be precision it all the way from London, myself as well as ol' Sleuthy fly to Munich early Thursday, spend the day there as well as then catch the sight for the four hour tour to Austrias capital. Hopefully the Taittinger will stay cold until we hit the tracks...

I've used Haidu, which brand brand new multi-faceted concept, as the pre-conference research tool - dual booze bars have been listed which appear 'must visits', whilst the Haidu repository territory hosts the array of articles by Julia Sevenich entitled an Austrian Wine Adventure tour; sounds similar to they had the explosion (an idea we am full of blood keen to replicate once we get there!)

Haidu is still the site in development; 'social features' have been still to be added as well as we still have the concern which user generated calm is either going to be sparsely provided or duplicated from particular blogs or winery websites though we do similar to the idea. It would be good if they were during the EWBC to speak by the options/concept. Mind you if the number of wines l! isted on Adegga's discussion page have been anything to go by, there won't be time for most talking!

So off to Vienna, around Munich... twittering as we go... as well as as prolonged as the camera binds out (I'm getting intermittent blunder problems), receiving photos...
