Vinography Wins 2005 Food Blogging Award

I'm thrilled and humbled that Vinography has won Best Blog Covering Wine, Beer, and Spirits for the second year running at the 2005 Food Blogging Awards. The winners were announced a couple of hours ago in all categories.

I'd like to thank you, readers, for your votes. I get to interact with some of you through your comments here and the e-mails you send me, but I know that there are thousands more of you out there, and I'd like to thank you all for your readership, which inspires me to keep writing.

I'd also like to extend a hearty congratulations to the other blogs that were nominated for this award this year: Fermentation, A Good Beer Blog, Lenn Devours, and The Scotch Blog. They are each excellent, dedicated blogs that deserve your readership.

In particular, I'd like to especially recognize Tom Wark's Fermentation, which has simply exploded with excellent content in the past year, and is now MY favorite wine blog. Great job, Tom.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Congratulations! I enjoy reading your blog a lot, the only problem being that very little of the wine you taste is available in Iceland! My ToDrink list for my USA visit is getting longer and longer.

Thanks Kevin.

Keep up the good work. Eventually I may get around to developing a taste for scotch, and when I do, I'll know where to go first !

A well-earned winner yet again! It's hard for any of us to unseat the juggernaut that is vinography...but it's hard to deny the excellence.

I voted for Tom, myself...his is my favorite right now as well. It's the first blog I read in the morning when I get to work.

Sadly...for some reason...my company firewall has started to BLOCK vinography...so I have to read that at home!

Congrats again...and I look forward to meeting you at some point this year...somehow...some way.

Congratulations also from me! I'm happy my vote was well cast. I especially admire the fact that you are always so well documented and your argumentation so well rounded off. Where do you get the time ;-)?

Alder, I only had one vote! I had to go with Tom 'cause he's got more 'industry' related stuff. Great job, well done. It just keeps getting better.

Alder congrats -

Your blog is an excellent forum for knowledge and opinion on the wine front. I usually come in here to read rather than comment and it's been very rewarding.

I also like that you accept diverse opinion, and act as a fair referee.

Overall a winning combination.
