Monthly Wine Writing Challenge #2 . . . VOTE!

It’s time to VOTE for this month’s Wine Writing Challenge winner!

I heard a lot of grumbling out there about this month’s Trouble theme, but that’s the beauty of interpretation — it’s a blank canvas. There’s no wrong answer . . . just write!   I won’t deny it was challenging — I started writing in one direction (the trouble with tasting fees) and went off on a pretty big tangent.  But you all stepped up to the plate and hit a home run!  I hope you enjoyed writing . . . and reading.

I’m excited to pass the Writing Crown to a new winner, so let’s get to the voting!

I’m trying something new this month . . . I’ve embedded a poll so you can vote right here in this post.  A few easy rules:

1. Anyone can vote . . . you don’t have to write a post.  Spread the word!!
2. Use whatever criteria you like to choose your favorite.
3. If you wrote a post, you can’t vote for yourself.
4. You can’t vote for the host (aka me).
5. All votes are due by August 22nd (I have set the poll to close at midnight on 8/23).
6. The “winner” will host the next monthly challenge, which includes selecting the topic.

We have 12 contenders this month:

Duff’s Wines

Food WIne Click

From Vinho Verde to Barolo with Love

My Custard Pie

Oenophilogical

SavorEncyclopedia

Spring of Autumn

Talk-a-Vino

The Armchair Sommelier (ineligible)

The Drunken Cyclist

The Drunken Cyclist – part Deux

The Wine Raconteur

The Winegetter

Twelve Dollar Taste Buds

If I have missed a post, PLEASE let me know!  I will update the poll immediately.

A couple of administrative things:

We have a twitter hashtag thingy now (thanks, Talk-a-Vino):  #MWWC for generic chatter, and #MWWC + the series number for a specific month, e.g. #MWWC2.

I took a stab at a logo.  ➡➡➡

I will announce the new winner and hand over my crown sometime on Saturday, August 24th!

Salud!
