I’ve decided to live blog tonight’s Twitter Taste Live using COVERITLIVE, a service I used for live blogging a tech event earlier this week. All the presenting bloggers Twitter accounts will be captured here along with others I will add during the tasting. You can also post comments right here in the view below. If this works, I’ll continue to cover these online tastings for those who can’t join us live.

Just a reminder that in less than 24 hours the Twitter Taste Live event will be taking place. Join me on Twitter at 4pm PST/7pm EST tomorrow.
We’ll be tasting an array of wines from Hugel including their luscious Gewurztraminer Vendange Tardive 2001. The tasting has been organized by Bin Ends Wine who have provided the wines.
A number of wine bloggers will join me here and in Europe including Andrew from Spittoon, Robert from The Wine Conversation, Ryan from Catavino, Lenn from LENNDEVOURS, Megan, The Wannabe Wino, Dale from Drinks Are On Me, Richard, The Passionate Foodie and Joe, 1 Wine Dude. Also joining us is Etienne Hugel from Alsace where it will be very early Friday morning.
Follow the action on my Twitter feed and on the live video feed Bin Ends Wine has setup for the tasting. And if you are near Dry Creek Valley, join me live at the Michel-Schlumberger Estate to actually taste the wines with me. It should be a lot of fun and I think we just might move the wine world a bit in the right direction.

Next week I will be tasting some wines and posting my notes on Twitter. I’ve done this for a while now but this is the first time I’d like you to join me live.
And I really mean live as I’ll have five bottles of Hugel wine with me in Healdsburg next week and, if you are close, I’ll have a glass ready for you. If not, then join me on my new Ustream channel.
The tasting has been organized by Bin Ends Wine, who have provided the samples and arranged for my interview with Etienne Hugel. Etienne will be joining me on Twitter from Alsace for the tasting on August 21st at 7pm EST/4pm PST.
For those in Northern California, I will be at the Michel-Schlumberger Estate with the Hugel wines and invite all readers and listeners to join me to taste these wines live. We’ll start with the Hugel Gentil 2006 at 4pm local time and conclude with the Gewurztraminer Vendange Tardive 2001 sometime before 6pm. After the tasting, let’s get some dinner in town.
Who’s joining me?
Post a comment here if you are joining me in person.
Disclosure: My company works with Michel-Schlumberger currently but we are tasting another producers wines there.
