DrinkLocalWine.com is the result of what happens when a good idea is embraced by dozens and dozens of wine bloggers and writers across North America. Jeff Siegel and Dave McIntyre are the public faces, but we couldn’t do this without the dozens and dozens of people who share our passion and our vision for regional wine.
When we started the Regional Wine Week blogging project last autumn, we discovered a number of talented bloggers were chronicling their local wine scenes. Most of them are not professional journalists. Many of them post only intermittently. But their love of wine and their appreciation of their local wineries make their blogs worth reading. Check out our blogroll.
And about us? Siegel is the proprietor is of The Wine Curmudgeon blog, as well as the wine columnist for Advocate Magazines in Dallas and the Star-Telegram newspaper in Fort Worth. He also writes about wine for a variety of national and regional publications. McIntyre is the wine columnist for The Washington Post and a contributor to many other publications. He also writes the blog Dave McIntyre’s WineLine, which began as an email newsletter in 1999, back when no one knew what-fer about “blogs.” He lives in Silver Spring, Maryland.
