We appreciate the support we had from bloggers, readers, sponsors and others in the media to make the European Wine Blogger Conference 2008 a great success.
We feel particularly honoured to have been able to meet an amazing group of bloggers and enthusiasts, and trust that in the coming months we will have created an even stronger community through our conversations. We will be posting thoughts on the topics discussed on wineblogger.info in the next few days (make sure you subscribe), but for now, let us point out some of the wonderful tools we have at our disposal.

IMPORTANT: RADIO SHOW ABOUT THE EWBC 2008!!!
The New Wine Consumer will be hosting a radio show on the EWBC 2008 today at 12pm EDT (so if it is 12pm in New York, it is 6pm in Madrid). The radio show is requesting all participants to come onto the show to participate. If you can, please come on the show! We would really love to hear your thoughts and reflections about the event!
You can listen on the Internet live or recorded, or better yet phone in on your PC/Mac or the plain old phone or your shiny new iPhone.

EWBC BLOG POSTS
There will probably be a whole range of thoughts and experiences resulting from the conference, and we will try to bring you links to these. We are asking bloggers to tag their posts and tasting notes with “EWBC2008” or just “EWBC” or better yet, both, so we can bring these to everyone’s attention. If you have any thoughts of your own, send them to us by email (ewbc2008@catavino.net) or leave us a comment and we will include it.
PHOTOS AND VIDEOS
There were as many cameras as there were bloggers at the event, so we are collecting all sorts of photos of participants, events and wines in the EWBC Flickr Group. So far we have some fun pics and we can’t wait to see more.
Edgar Mendoza and Eduardo Benito from VinusTV have been wonderful at publishing their interviews of participants over the past few days and will continue to put them on their site over the coming weeks, including the conference sessions. Go to their site and you will see the EWBC tab on the right hand side of the screen. Thanks to both Edgar and Eduardo for all of their help! We all appreciate it!
WINES TASTED AT THE EWBC
If any reader or participants wants a complete list of the wines we tasted over the 3 days of the conference, our friends at Adegga have done a great job to get them uploaded. If anyone happens to notice that a wine is missing from this list, please add it here, and don’t forget to tag it “EWBC2008″.
PARTICIPANT INFORMATION
All participants will receive a document to help them stay in touch. If anyone else wants to get in touch with participants, check out the list of participants’ blogs and biographies here. If there are any Press inquiries that require further information, or urgent contact, you can also get in touch with us and we will see what we can do to help.
DAVID CRAY’S RESEARCH
As David Cray mentioned to us at the conference, he is very interested in bloggers’ thoughts and opinions about blogging. His blog, Wine Blog Research, is where you can not only follow in his discoveries, but potentially help him figure out what wine blogging is all about. Please contact him if you are interested in helping David at: david_cray@carleton.ca
OPEN WINE CONSORTIUM
If you are not a member, we highly suggest that you become a member of the OWC. It is a wonderful way to get in touch with other wine bloggers, retailer, distributors and just about anyone related to the wine trade. Additionally, if you are interested in improving your writing in English, Gabriella has started a wine writing workshop on the consortium, where you can gain constructive feedback on your writing.
Finally we just want to say thanks again to everyone who came along for a great time. We look forward to great times ahead!
Cheers to all,
Ryan, Gabriella, and Robert
