Woo-Hoo!!! (& Congratulations to the Other Finalists, of Course)
Posted by Fredric Koeppel under Wine blogs[5] Comments
Friends, BiggerThanYourHead has been nominated for an American Wine Blog Award for 2008 in the “Best Wine Review Blog” 
category. The competition is stiff; the other finalists are BrooklynGuy’s Wine & Food Blog; Good Wine Under $20 and 750ML, all excellent blogs that reflect highly individual views about wine, wine buying and consumption and the wine industry in general.
But I’m hoping, naturally, that you enjoy and find valuable what I do on this blog and that you’ll vote for BTYH. Go to Tom Wark’s Fermentation to vote in this and the other categories.
The purpose of the American Wine Blog Awards is to bring attention to the activities of a host of dedicated people who love wine and love writing about wine and love educating the wine-buying public, and who occasionally need the opportunity to vent their frustrations; it happens.
Thanks for your vote and for reading BTYH.

I’ve just spent a good portion of my evening…on my day off…dorking out and looking at the new blogs so I could actually vote rather than randomly click on nominees.
I BLAME YOU!!
But I voted for you anyways. Congrats!

I am voting now. You deserve this nomination.
Yet I am sorry to disagree on your explanations about the American Wine Blog Awards. You clearly articulate the stated purpose of the competition. The actual stand of the competition might be more complex… There is a discussion about this at Robert McIntosh’s.

Thanks to all of you and all those who have voted in the AWBA. And thanks Felicien for those kind words; taking the lead from your remark, I’ve tried to read everything online about the awards, and, as you say, the issues involved are complex.
