The Finalists in the 2013 Wine Blog Awards

Picture: Christian G.E. Schiller with Stuart Pigott (Blogg: Stuart Pigott’s Planet Wine) in Frankfurt, Germany: Stuart Pigott at the Weinhalle in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Stuart Pigott is a "Single Subject Wine Blogs Finalist", but Stuart has a problem with this. He feels that he does not belong into this category. I fully agree with him.

The finalists in the 2013 Wine Blog Awards were announced.

The awards are open to any English-language wine blog located anywhere in the world. The winners will be chosen based on 50% of the input coming from the judges and 50% coming from the public vote and will be presented live at the 2013 Wine Bloggers Conference, during the Saturday June 7th awards dinner in Penticton, British Columbia.
