Happy Blogiversary Vino Travels!
This month Vino
Travels is celebrating 3 years of Italian wine blogging. I can't
believe this much time has gone by and it's been quite the journey.
I started this Italian wine blog back in April of 2013 with the
intention to force myself to become immersed in the world of wine.
Shortly after I focused more on Italian wine and wanted to become
more of an expert in a particular area and what better place to start
than Italy since I had lived and traveled all over and knew it best
as well as the language.
Achievements
I've accomplished
so much since then and wanted to provide an overview and insight into
some of these accomplishments:
- Began my Italian Food, Wine and Travel group (#ItalianFWT) where myself and a group of bloggers from around the world share our food, wine and travel to a different region of Italy the first Saturday or every month. June will be our 20th region of Italy before we begin the journey all over again with a twist.
- Became an author and writing contributor for magazines online and/or in print including the Bostoniano, We The Italians, Italian Talks and L'Italo Americano.
- Wrote my first book, “Planning Your Dream Wedding in Tuscany”.
- Got invited and traveled to Italy for the L'Anteprima Amarone wine event to share with my readers and promote and educate folks on the wines of the Valpolicella from the Veneto.
- Attended a number of wine seminars, events and tastings meeting numerous Italian wine makers, brand ambassadors and importers sharing with you their stories and Italian wines.
The future of Vino Travels
For the future of
Vino Travels I'll be updating my website slightly (I've already begun) to make it easier
for my readers to find wines specific to all twenty wine regions of
Italy and even further by reds and whites of those regions. As many
know from my big announcement article, I'll be welcoming our first
child in June (future Italian wine lover), but this will not affect
my commitment to what I bring to you weekly. I've always wanted to
introduce video wine blogs to Vino Travels and whether that is this
year or in the future, it's something I'm looking into exploring to
provide a more personal experience with you.
Grazie mille!
I can't thank my
readers enough for your support over the years, but if I can ask one
thing of you is to please interact with me and leave comments when
you read my articles. It let's me know you're out there reading and I love hearing from my readers. You're the
reason why I write this wine blog. If you'd love to see something
different or hear about specific topics more or maybe have some
questions please shoot me an email at vinotravels at hotmail.com. No
question is a dumb question and my whole purpose is to educate folks
on Italian wines so please reach out. Thanks, grazie mille,
and hope to hear from you soon and please tell your friends about
Vino Travels!
