You frame your thoughts beautfully; I could not have said it any better. I've found that after posting about a wine or winery, I'm better off contacting the winemaker rather than expecting contact. The results have been astounding for both parties, as my recent exchanges with <a href="http://www.californiawinehikes.com/winehiker/1/a-nice-note-from-george-troquato-winemaker-at-cinnabar/" rel="nofollow">George Troquato of Cinnabar</a>, <a href="http://www.californiawinehikes.com/winehiker/1/more-zap-fest-fallout-a-note-from-rod-snapp-at-javelina-leap-winery/" rel="nofollow">Rod Snapp of Javelina Leap</a>, and <a href="http://www.californiawinehikes.com/winehiker/1/tasting-venues/gonna-take-an-elliptical-journey/" rel="nofollow">John Munch of Le Cuvier</a> have proven. In fact, as a result of my posts about Le Cuvier zins, John has allowed me (and this is news, BTW) to join his closed Elliptical Society wine club. I'm still trying to get over it. Obviously (to us bloggers) the blogosphere works. We gotta keep blogging! Sonadora, thank you for your comments. You frame your thoughts beautfully; I could not have said it any better.

I have recently had a few contact me after I posted about one of their wines, wanting to discuss my post and get feedback. Plus, offering me more information about their wines or agreeing to do an interview (I really need to get going on that one!) For me, it makes me much more interested in their products since they clearly care about their customers. Even just a quick email letting me know that they read my post goes a long way to piqueing further interest in a winery. It makes me more likely to go back to their wines again in the future, which will create another post about their brand. I also must say, I appreciate any effort a winemaker takes to reach out to me.
