Hi BrickofWine,

Unfortunately, we don’t have an option for attending just the winery dinners. Why? Two reasons. First, one winery dinner with wine would cost more than the conference registration fee for citizen bloggers, so it is better to register for the conference! Second, we might easily hit a maximum attendance figure set by dinner constraints and so can’t give up a spot intended for conference participants. I hope you understand!

Why on EARTH would the U.S. conference be held anywhere BUT Sonoma/Napa? This *is WINE blogging we’re talking about.

Thanks, Bradley. We specifically searched long for a date that would work better for winery bloggers.

I applaud the dates selected. There’s a better than average chance I’ll be able to make it this year.

Joel, If you’d like to have a variety tasting, my members of PS I Love You would be happy to hold a cultivar seminar. Just let me know, and I’ll do the work on my end to get the vintners’ wines for it. — jo

PS: if equals a sponsorship, I’m sure my board of directors would be pleased with the decision to partner with you.

We were originally leaning towards New York, Fabio. The thing that dissuaded us was the post-conference survey from last year in which New York rated the lowest location out of five for possible 2009 site. 48% of 2008 attendees told us they were not likely to travel to NY for the conference. Why? Undoubtedly because California dominated in terms of number of 08 attendees. So, while we would like to “share the wealth” and spread the conference around, we felt like we need to do so slowly after it is more established. We hope you can make it this year!

Ok, I am going to understand if I can come BTW, it would be very nice to have a conference on the est coast (New York, for example) for those who come from Europe.
