European Wine Bloggers Conference. A spectacular event.
I have been this weekend in Lisbon to be present on the European Wine Bloggers Conference. I have to say that I have felt very comfortable on what I have seen and lived because of several reasons:
1) The event was very well organized
2) The assistants were in general, a fantastic group, with a lot of passion about wine, about knowing people, about interchanging experiences and having fun.
3) They know a lot about wine.
4) They have found in wine a very good reason to meet each other.
5) They have very clear that communication on the wine world is changing.
6) They are very interested in trying to know what is going on, and they know about communication. It is good to have this knowledge, but it is even better if it is shared with people with similar hobbies and interests from many different places in the world.
7) They know they are on the good way and they are enjoying a lot during the journey.
8) There were very good speakers, with some exhibitions very well made and very attractive, in a perfect environment.
All this can take anything but satisfaction to wineries and participants.
This world is changing very fast, and everyone must wonder if he is doing its best to adapt to change.
Time will tell. Nevertheless I think that this event has the look of growing.
Congratulations Ryan, Gabriela, Robert. You have done a very good job. Thanks to the people present on the event, because though I did not know many of you, you have made it to feel integrated in the group since the first minute. And all this in spite of not having time to spend visiting the city. There was so much to do at the event…
And it happens like in good films, in which the Cinema director winkes to us on the final scene in order to make us smile when getting out. On this case it was a very funny dinner in a friendly and small restaurant. I was lucky I assisted only because I lost my plane back to Madrid. This was a nice present I did not expect it.
Very funny, didactic and motivating for the participants. Very interesting and fruitful for the collaborator companies.
[...] En el mundo del vino no hablamos de trucos, pero hablamos también de ilusionar, de emocionar, de ensalzar y cantar las bondades y pequeños detalles de un vino, de una bodega. Un buen ejemplo de esto es lo que viví con Charles Metcalfe en su presentación en la European Wine Blogger Conference en Lisboa. [...]
