Next week, Monday 15th to Wednesday 17th, Gabriella, Ryan & Robert are heading for Vienna.

Our main task is to decide on a conference venue for EWBC 2010. So much of the rest of our organisation depends on sorting out this detail that we are making it our top priority. Vienna is full of gorgeous palaces and historic buildings, but it seems that the original architects and builders failed to take into account the needs of 150 21st Century wine bloggers for conference spaces, power points and WiFi … so a little inventive sleuthing is required.

We have a number of interesting prospects already sorted out, so we will report back as we visit our favourites. (Photo from Wikipedia)

However, all work and no wine, does not make these EWBC organisers happy, so we also planning some friendly meetings, interviews and lots of general enjoyment of Viennese hospitality. As well as an exciting planning meeting with our hosts, Wines from Austria, and some potentially superb sponsors, we would like to hook up with local wine bloggers to get to know more about the Austrian ’scene’.

Therefore, we’ve reserved a table at Gmoakeller for Tuesday, March 16, at 7.30pm, under the name “Wine Blogger”. Any blogger that would like to join us are more than welcome, but please rsvp below.

Looking forward to sharing exciting feedback on Vienna very soon.
