The 2008 American Wine Blog Award Winners were announced today and I'm pleased to report The Wine Collector won in the category of Best Wine Business Blog. Thanks for your support.
When I started writing this blog in 2006 (see Launch of The Wine Collector), I did not foresee writing as much about wine business issues as I have done. However, wine collecting is all about buying fine wine and the context in which one does that is fundamentally affected by a whole range of business factors affecting retailing trends, global demand, regulatory changes with shipping and foreign duties, wine authentication, investment trends, and more.
I look forward to continuing to write on issues facing wine collectors and the wine business. The process of thinking through a blog topic is actually quite helpful to my "day job" running Vinfolio and one I thoroughly enjoy doing. Should you have topics to suggest for The Wine Collector, please feel to email me at steve@vinfolio.com.
