Sorry it has taken me a while to respond. I think a "virtual tasting room" could include the kinds of things you mentioned (live winemaker chats, recorded interviews, series of harvest photos and essays, webcam, etc). People seem hungry for a personal connection to the winery and winemaker (even from afar) and the opportunity to interact with the winemaker. I think those who can make the winemaker and the land as important as the juice itself will do well and rise above the sea of wine brands. Thanks for the reply, Tim.

I have an italian website with wine info from all the world and also a wine blog within it. I follow you from few months, I'd like to participate in your project. Why not? We wine blogger (etc) have the keys of the future of wine information, because we are wine lover, good writer for the web and overall also we manage thecnology. That is, all a modern communication need to be. Fabio Ingrosso www.vino24.tv Hi Tim,

How would a virtual tasting room work? Live chat or forums or blogs or something else? Or where you just using that as an analogy? An interesting idea, Richard. How would a virtual tasting room work?

Or where you just using that as an analogy?
