Mendoza Recap | Twitter Stability

I’m sure I’m not the first to say “Who the f*** is Selena Gomez and why did she crash Twitter at 7:30pm last night??” And while we’re at it what is the relevance of #glee?

These types of questions have become far too common for me and lead to major mental breakdowns almost weekly at this point.  Twitter’s stability or lack there of has become a major disruption to the TasteLive events, and we’re dealing with it.

• I’m going to leak something here, and the dev team is going to kill me: We’re within weeks of not having to worry about this anymore.  That’s about all I can say right now, but I will tell you that this issue is top priority and will be addressed along with the game changing new features we’ll be releasing to the platform this autumn.

Ok, enough about that… #selenagomesonfb, god bless ya!

Matter at hand! Wines of Argentina and more importantly Mendoza!

Despite the late start, and some rather seasick wines to our far-away tweeps, the event managed to go off quite well.  In the end we held onto all four star winemakers and managed to get fairly organized by around 9:15pm EST.  I want to personally thank the winemakers for hanging in there.  This is a totally foreign concept to many of them and it happen to fall smack dab in the middle of the Argentina vs Paraguay match.  These guys were troopers, so Muchas Gracias a todo!

Strong showing!  The wines overall showed great with very varied styles and takes on world class Malbec.  I won’t recap tweets as they are visible on the feed.  Thanks to everyone for participating!

Due to travel there will be a schedule change for the next two events; San Juan/ La Rioja and Patagonia.  I will be sending out an email later today.  Also, please stay tuned for information on October’s Wines of Germany events!
