I live in the Chicago area and you'd think I wouldn't have that problem. This is especially true of French and Italian wines. Worse still, is I'm often unable to find it on the internet either. In either case it can be extremely frustrating. I agree that more wineries need to be user friendly and more present on the internet. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

I do think more wineries need to get on board with this internet thing, but we do see signs of that happening. And I think trade shows are here to stay, in large part because it's still probably the most economical way for producers to let lots of folks TASTE lots of wine. Let's face it, reading about drinking wine, or even seeing Gary drink it on TV, is just not the same thing as tasting it yourself--though we wine bloggers do try! Interesting post.

So Stormhoek obviously think that having a large footprint at LIWSF is worthwhile. Good to meet you there; best of luck at Wine 2.0 and expensive and flashy stands all trying to out do the next
