    • Sonoma County WBC09 Wine 2.0 Wine Bloggers Conference

    It is early in the morning on a Saturday..... And, wait?  Why am I awake... And why am I writing?  Well, in less than an hour I need to be over at the Flamingo Hotel, iphone in hand (along with a charger), ready to take the bus over to Napa.

    The first day of the Wine Bloggers Conference was a blast.  And, I made it out without any spills, trips or overly loud outbursts... All thanks to this new thing I learned about called the spit bucket.   It is an amazing tool so that you can try many different wines and not get hammered. :)

    The most memorable moment for me happened during the American Wine Bloggers Awards, when they moved up the ceremony an hour early and neither Judd Wallenbrock nor Jim Morris from Michel Schulmberger were there to accept their award for the best winery blog for the Benchland Blog http://benchlandblog.com/.   I called up Jim to tell him that they were doing all of this and he had Judd call me so that he could accept his award via iphone speaker. 

    IF ANYONE HAS ANY PICTURES OF THIS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!

    Lots of great details and stories to tell about the live wine blogging session, the Taste of Sonoma (BTW -- Props to Rodney Strong for being the only winery there with a sign showing people where to find them on social networks) and the dinner.

    For now I will leave you with what is probably the best video I have seen come from the Sonoma County Tourism Bureau -- A Fairly Decent Job, Sonoma County's spoof on Murphy Goode's A Really Goode Job.

    Now I am off to drink Cabs over the hill.....

    I am now helping out with Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey's online presence.  You may be thinking, "What? When did Shana get into politics?"  I can tell you it was a very welcomed shock to me as well and if you want to hear more, please visit here to read all about what I have been up to over the last few months and why I have been so secretive!

    p.s.  This wouldn't all be possible without meeting Amy, the daughter to the Congresswoman at the Wine 2.0 event in SF a few months ago!  Thank you to Cornelius Geary and Smoke Wallin for hosting such a great event... You never know who you will meet while wine tasting!

    Hello! My name is Shana Ray, a Digital (Social Media) Marketing Director, working with wineries, restaurants & tech.

    My main website can be found at http://shanaray.com but I use this one as my social media/wine/food/music/llama blog and my way to get out my frustrations with the stuffiness that sometimes comes with wine.

    ...and I have red hair and can usually be heard before I am seen.

    I am a partner at Two Five Media and a Digital Media + PR Manager for Collaborize Classroom http://CollaborizeClassroom.com/blog

    .... yup, llamas.
