Bloggerview #33: Ed Thralls

BLOGGERVIEW #33 Who: Ed ThrallsBlog: Wine ToniteWhere: http://www.winetonite.com/ I like "Wine Tonite". It strikes me as a quintessential 2010 Wine Blog insofar as if you glance through it you'll see that it's producer, Ed Thralls, has taken advantage of all the social media bells and whistles, integrated them perfectly into the site and makes the experience of reading Wine Tonite a simple straightforward one.

Bloggerview #30: Dale Cruse

Bloggerview #30 Who: Dale CruseBlog: Drinks Are On MeWhere: http://drinksareonme.net  This Dale Cruse character is an interesting guy.

Bloggerview #29: Hardy Wallace

Bloggerview #29 Who: Hardy WallaceBlog: Dirty South WineWhere: http://www.dirtysouthwine.com/ I like Hardy Wallace. In fact, I think everyone likes Hardy. It's his upbeat and authentically positive disposition that does the trick. The real neat trick is that this upbeat, authentic, enthusiastic attitude comes through loud and clear at his wine blog, Dirty South Wine. Now most folks probably became acquainted with Hardy as a result of his winning the opportunity to become Murphy-Goode's social media evangelist. That's neat too. But,…

Bloggerview #28Who: Joe DressnerBlog: The Amazing Adventures of Captain Tumorman  &  The Wine ImporterBlog: http://captaintumorman.com/   &   http://www.datamantic.com/joedressner  Occasionally you'll read that This Person or That Person was the first wine blogger. I'm pretty sure the real first wine blogger to actually blog in a traditional blogger format is Joe Dressner. But let's leave that for later and get to the heroics first. Joe is a principle in Louis/Dressner Selections, a New York importer with a near legendary reputation that is…
