L'intérêt des reseaux sociaux pour le monde du vin. Vinocamp. The third Vinocamp took place in Carcassonne over the weekend.
The first and second took place in Paris and Burgundy and the next will be in Bordeaux so the Languedoc is in very good company with France's top wine regions. The event has nothing to do with camping and everything to do with wine, and how to use social networking, the internet, websites and blogging to promote your wine business. It was a joy to welcome Louise Hurren, independent wine journalist and marketeer, and Wendy Gedney, provider of the most interesting and informative wine tours in the region, to 42rvh for the weekend.
As well as being really good friends they are experts at what they do. We enjoyed a very convivial dinner on Friday evening, with a surprisingly Portuguese flavour to it - Alentejo pork and clams (a recipe taught me by the great David Eyre) washed down with Esporao Reserva 2008 (a wine Debrah had discovered on BA during her recent New York trip).

This post is about one of the round table discussions from VinoCamp Languedoc in March 2011.
I hesitate to label it as “wine blogger ethics” since that’s a big subject. Miss Glouglou proposed and led the roundtable topic, and she had a more specific idea about what we’d discuss. We set out to address the “transmission of information” which sort of bundles up a lot of subjects: Marketing material vs. reference materialCredibilityBriberyAre blogs any different than traditional media? A lot of people felt strongly that there were deontological moral issues at stake specific to bloggers while other people focused much more on pragmatic issues (credibility, sales, etc.) My favorite bit is in part 2 around 1:36 where we start talking about giving journalists free bottles of wine.
There’s also this question about whether bloggers can get into trouble by denouncing or even accidentally insulting people. Anyway, I’m sure I’ll continue to think about this and maybe post more later. #Vinocamp Languedoc 2011 – Retour d’expérience d’une vinocampeuse néophyte. J’avais déjà écrit un article sur ce blog pour annoncer le Vinocamp Languedoc et j’y avais mentionné le mode de fonctionnement et son historique, en copiant une partie du Wiki, mais cela sonnait un brin théorique à mes oreilles.
Vinocamp Languedoc 2011, j’en étais, alors voici un peu de feedback quant à cette expérience unique. Cependant, je crains fort que pour pouvoir réellement saisir le concept, il ne faille le vivre ! Carcassonne. Medieval Carcassonne.
Carcassonne, the medieval fortress strategically positioned between the eastern Languedoc cities of Narbonne, Béziers and Montpelier and Toulouse, was the rear-guard stronghold for the ancient Counts of Toulouse. It also was famous as being a Cathar castle, taken in 1209 during the Albigensian Crusade. The declared reason for the crusade was to eradicate the Cathars, a Christian religious sect whose beliefs put them at odds with the Roman Catholic Church. But Pope Innocent III’s papal decree permitted the confiscation of lands owned by Cathars and their supporters, and King Phillip took it as the go ahead to bring southwestern France into the French crown. Funny, he doesn't look like a heretic. For almost 800 years Carcassonne has experienced nothing more heretical than tourists insisting, against all common gastronomic sense, on ordering cassoulet, an extremely rich, slow-cooked bean stew filled with pork sausage, duck and goose, in the summer.
