This year, the 5th iteration of the Wine Blogger Conference will occur in Portland, Oregon August 17-19. The Wine Blogger Conference helps wine bloggers hone their craft, connect with other bloggers and industry folk, and experience a wine region they may not have previously had the opportunity to visit up close and personal.
The darling Thea Dwelle, Chief Cat Herder Extraordinaire, Master of Bling, and all around nice person has once again organized the Wine Blogger Scholarship. Conceived after the 2008 Conference when we realized that some of our fellow bloggers could not shoulder the cost of everything associated with the conference, Thea has been zealously pursuing donations for this year’s Conference.
Donations are made through Enobytes, a 501(c) non profit organization. Therefore, any donation may be tax deductible. (Please consult your tax professional for advice on charitable contributions and the associated rules governing them in the Internal Revenue Code to determine your eligibility to take a deduction.)
I’ve donated and am on this year’s Scholarship Committee. Please take a moment and consider making a donation: DONATE NOW!

Hello this is Alex from the Wine Forum http://www.winebasic101.com. Oregon and washingoton are up and coming players in the wine business. Washington is number two behind california in wine productions. Oregon is not to far behind. They both produce quality wines for an affordable price. There climates are different of California so it gives off a different taste.
I would love to attend this year but it may not be in the cards. There’s always next year! Are you a regular attender?
Nick, I am. I have attended 3 of the 4 so far and plan to attend this year as well.
