THE STORY
Imagine my surprise when LuxLife Magazine reached out to me to inform me that someone nominated Decanting Monterey for one of their Hospitality Awards. At first, I told them they had the wrong person. I told them I just write a wine blog to promote our local wineries and entertain others with my stories. I suggested some other organizations far more worthy. Then a writer friend told me I should consider doing it. So, I did. To this day, I have no idea who nominated my website, but I am glad they did. Decanting Monterey was named Best Monterey Wine Blog!
I could not have achieved this international recognition without the support of the many Monterey County wineries: the personal engagements with our vintners and their tasting room staffs; the Monterey County Vintners and Growers Association; the Monterey Chapter of the American Wine Society, my many readers via free subscription, Instagram, and Facebook; and the continued support of the Decanting Monterey Wine Pod.
Cheers to the 2024 harvest – may it show the best our Monterey wines can be!
