Yea, I was starting to just tune them out near the end. Most of what they were telling me went in one ear and out the other.

I couldn’t agree with you more about the elevator pitch. A lot of these people were just blathering on and on while I was trying to type and taste the wine. They need to treat their pitch like it’s a twitter post in this kind of situation. There was one guy who talked for 3 minutes before even pouring the wine! You could tell he was determined to get his message out, which you can respect, but then it left me no time whatsoever to actually taste and write about his wine. Dumb.

Thanks for commenting Mike. It is interesting, but I think their main intention was to get OTHER bloggers to write about their wines. I think, in that regard, it worked beautifully for them.

Interesting that (at a Wine Blogging Conference!) most of these small wineries don’t appear to have blogs themselves. From your list of 13 wineries, only 5 — Twisted Oak, Kanzler (non-standard platform), Lionheart, 4 Bears, and Clos La Chance — appear to have blogs.
