On the night of the time change 17 years ago, my life changed when I started blogging in that extra hour over on Art Predator, an online version of a newspaper column I had in Ventura County for several years in the late 1990s.
with Antonella Manuli in Lombardy Italy after speaking at the Wine Media Conference 2022; I visited her winery in Tuscany in June 2023 and again in May 2024
This morning when I went online to prepare for tonight’s tasting with Sue Hill (four amphora wines: three wines from Georgia and one from Portugal as well as preparing for a ZOOM at noon about Uruguayan wines), I was greeted with this message:
“Happy Anniversary with WordPress.com! You registered on WordPress.com 17 years ago. Thanks for flying with us. Keep up the good blogging.”
And oh, what a flight it has been! Over the years I’ve traveled and written about wine at Burning Man, Italy, Portugal, France, Canada, Egypt, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and more!
