Today’s DrinkNectar post is featured on Cork’d. Head over there and check out the story about Twitter wine tasting events. Cork’d is becoming a fantastic resource for wine news and I’m proud to be a part of it.

Twitter wine tasting events are changing the wine community. I had the honor of co-sponsoring #WAMerlot and saw firsthand the power of the online community. As a wine brand, these events offer little or no cost opportunities for brand impressions, building your customer base and interacting with your existing customers. As a wine consumer, they provide an opportunity learn, engage and connect.

Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the following Taste and Tweet events.

Taste Live – The premier web site for online wine and beer tastings

Community Wine Tastings on Twitter – A Facebook community to compliment the Taste and Tweet events on Twitter
