I’ll nominate Napa Valley Wine Radio. This site provides some of the most formidable wine education from a “qualified source” (Goosecross Cellars, Yountville, Napa Valley).
Napa Valley Wine Radio includes, blog, podcast, audio wine notes, and video.
Most of the content is developed and presented by Nancy Hawks Miller (Director of Education at Goosecross) who has over 25 years of experience as a wine educator. However, many guest speakers are included such as wine industry consultants, bankers, foodies, Bed & Breakfast owners, and more.

Alright. I’m already a little behind, but maybe I’ll shoot for 52 posts before the end of 2009 so I can participate NEXT year. I love the recipients each year, so I should really step it up and try to meet the challenge.

The Dover Canyon Blog is super. Mary Baker has a great knack for coming up with appropriate subjects and is a great writer.
Dover Canyon Winery has a great blog.
I nominate VinoVerve as Best Winery Blog for its excellence in connecting wine enthusiastics with large wineries and Boutique wineries. VinoVerve transports the reader with its penetrating interviews, comments on tastings, and its on site photos of wineries, labels and local environs. It’s almost as good as being in the tasting room, touring the winery and walking among the vines. It makes one want to grab for the car keys and go. Brava! Bravo! to the bloggers at VinoVerve.
Dover Canyon … great blog, great people, great wine!
….easy reading, with a wide range of subjects and many excellent wines. Three great reasons to nominate the Dover Canyon Winery blog.
