Bottlenotes has joined forces with Vineyard & Winery Management as an official new media partner for all six of our wine competitions. Bottlenotes is the premier online community for wine enthusiasts with a following of 250,000 registered users, over 25,000 Twitter followers and over 65,000 Facebook fans. Bottlenotes will provide an exclusive winery benefit to all IEWC entrants who enter online, by publically posting award winners on bottlenotes.com. This is free to our customers! Should your wines medal, a virtual icon will flag your wine as an award-winner.
How to participate in the Bottlenotes promotion:
Remember, you must enter your wines online in order to participate. Mailed and faxed entries will not be considered. During the online entry process, be sure to check the Bottlenotes box and a pop-up screen with specific instructions will appear. You will be asked to provide your winery name, winery story, tasting notes if available, an online purchase link, and an image link.
Please provide the information you have available. If you cannot complete all the questions, don't worry, but the more information provided the better to market and promote your wines. For changes or additions to your entry, please email your questions to Lance Derrick at lderrick@vwm-online.com or call 707-577-7700 x109.
