Alentejo Live Wine Blogging - Now Live on YouTube!
We did it! We did it! Portugal’s very 1st Live Wine Blogging direct from the Alentejo! Despite a slow old-fashioned DSL connection on the Alentejan end, our Skype/ webcam communication between Cortes de Cima, Alentejo and Sala Ogival, Lisbon went without interruptions, and very little noise interference! And, blessing of all blessings, without any of Cortes de Cima’s usual and frequent power cuts from the national grid!
A special thanks to all from Cortes de Cima who helped out, including Jose Eduardo who single-handedly held down the Lisbon fort, and to all of you Live Bloggers who took the time before the 2nd European Wine Bloggers Conference and joined in both at the winery and in Lisbon - including Luiz Alberto The Wine Hub, Michael Oudyn Wine Tripping, Jim Budd Jim’s Loire , Wink Lorch Wine Travel Guides, Per Karlsson BK Wine, Justin Roberts Jerez Wine, Brett Jones Wine Maestro, Jason Mancebo 20$wineblog and Sam Ockman 1000corks.
