Wine Blogging Wednesday #21 & Is My Blog Burning #26 -- Fabulous Favorites Festival

The Internet's premier food blogging event, Is My Blog Burning? has inspired an ever-growing number of culinary blog events, including the world's most popular virtual wine tasting Wine Blogging Wednesday.

So, it was only a matter of time before the two culinary juggernauts joined forces to create the ultimate culinary blogging event.

It is with great pleasure and excitement that IMBB's founder, Alberto and I announce that we are co-hosting the May editions of IMBB and WBW.

The dual theme?

It's the Fabulous Favorites Festival and it's taking place on Friday May 19 on a blog near you.

What is the Fabulous Favorites Festival exactly? It's a food and wine pairing event that, we hope, will attract the largest group of participants ever for any culinary blog event. For this one day at least, food bloggers will be "forced" to dive into the wine pool, while wine bloggers will have to uncork their cooking skills.

The concept is simple, with two plans of attack you can choose from.

1. Pick a favorite bottle of wine from your cellar and create/cook a dish that goes with it.
2. Pick a favorite dish in your culinary repertoire and seek out a wine that will pair will it.

Or, if you're feeling really ambitious, create an entire wine-pairing menu of favorites.

Alberto and I are both excited about this joint-venture...and we hope you are too.

Won't you join us?

Man, IMBB 25 isn't even in the ground yet and you guys are announcing IMBB 26. I guess I did hold it sort of late.

[Jack]

Looking forward to this one! I much prefer to tell/share a great bottle from my cellar than having to come up with a bottle/producer I've never had.

Beyond criticism, we experience that blogs are the simplest way to express ones feeling about the topic being discussed. You just have to put your fingers on keys and write the first thing that comes to your mind and you can see it up, visible to hundreds of thousands of people, the very next moment.

If you are interested in wine making then you need to do a little homework before you get started. Wine making is not

something that you can just plunge into and learn along the way, you need to do some research so that you know that you

are not missing any vital wine making steps or processes. If you do miss these wine making your wine could very well turn

out tasting like anything but wine.

Wine making is a something fun that you can do in your spare time and at the end you will have a glorious result. Wine

making is something that people tend to get hooked on because the very first batch is not usually perfect, it may taste

delicious but it will not be perfect. As you learn about wine making and as you get the wine making experience behind you

your wine will get better and better. You will undoubtedly pick up tips and tricks to help you improve your wine making

capabilities.

I am glad to post my views and points in this blog, but I must say that webmaster of this blog has done a very great job to make his blog more informative and more discussable but unfortunately everthing is same here that more than 80% in this and other blogs post their comments for making spam!!!, so i will really all this spam links to google band tool, because webmaster makes blogs for making discuss and for sloving each other problems. thanks http://www.gordoniihoodia.net

After what seems like forever (but is really only 4 days) my v7ndotcom elursrebmem entry finally ranks, coming in somewhere between 25 and 30 depending on what ranking tool and data center you happen to be using (SERP). However now that every SEO on the planet has a blog I thought I might cruise around the blogosphere and see how blogs are being used in the contest. http://www.bigpenispill.net

Well that’s 10 entries from blogland maybe we’ll visit some others as the contest progresses, gosh May seems far away doesn’t it? Lastly thanks to folks who helped spread the word about my giving the contest prize money to charity, and to all the folks who linked to me, here’s hoping we can turn something completely silly into something good that actually helps somebody, who needs the money much more than most of the people competing. http://www.big-breast-enlargement.com

I cannot completely commit to Camp 1 as I do think there are times, and situations, where users have to take responsibility for their own choices. For example, if someone choses to remain on dialup when higher speed connections are available, and within their reach, I do not think I should be obliged to design with their free choice in mind. If they choose to stay with an older browser rather than upgrade, why should I have to take that into account? To do so would constrain design and possibly compromise the experience of others for no good reason. http://www.vigrx.com/?a=getlook

An earlier post said that New Orleans is 400+ years old. If our country is 229 years old, how is this possible?”
Well whoever said that will make out just fine when the brain-eating zombies attack.
