*news release*
_For Immediate
Release_
April 27, 2009
* *
*The BC WIne Museum & VQA Wine Shop presents:*
*Wine Industry Trends- Blogging and Social Media*
*Thursday, May 7^th at 7:00 p.m. *
The BC Wine Museum & VQA Wine Shop presents wine tastings with a twist,
the Wine Education Series of Tastings, or WEST. Come explore British
Columbia wines and meet some of the winemakers and producers from
wineries across the Okanagan Valley. Sample award winning wines and
learn about current trends in the wine industry.
All WEST events are hosted by Julianna Hayes, journalist turned food and
wine writer. Hayes is the editor of the Official Wine Tour Handbook to
BC Wine Country.
A new and growing trend amongst those in the wine business is blogging
and social networking sites such as Twitter. Hayes publishes her own
blog and is well aware of the raising trend. "Many winemakers are out
there publishing and writing their own blogs," she comments. "Blogging
is an immediate means of communication and one that anybody can try,
making it very accessible and effective."
On Thursday, May 7^th WEST welcomes guest winemaker Bradley Cooper from
Township 7 Vineyards & Winery. He'll pour a flight of Township 7 wines
and he'll also discuss what's new on the BC wine scene and how social
media is affecting how we access wines. Township 7 has locations in
Langley and on the Naramata Bench. Cooper has been the winemaker for
Township 7 since 2005 and he recently launched his own wine brand called
Black Cloud Wine.
Tickets are only $25 and $20 for Kelowna Museums members. Seating is
limited. To reserve tickets now call 250-868-0441.
*Hayes and Cooper will be live blogging this event. *
