I really like your two additional points "drink more of your competitors and tell me about them" and "embracing RSS". Regards the lead photo - well that was a honest mistake. That pic was taken at a local supermarket here in Portugal. Guess the Spanish are competing strongly here : ) Thx for sharing. Hey Ryan great points!

I would add and subtract from your list. The "go to non-wine conferences" is well beyond the means of most wineries. Here in Iberia I think that there might be 4-5 that could afford/allow for this. Many have enough trouble making it to wine conferences! I would say though pay attention to them. Hence my addition: Embrace RSS - Get a google reader account and load it up with feeds, then once a week or more whip through competitors feeds, Google blog search feeds, news feeds, tech feeds, etc...You may find some things you didnt' expect! Number 2 would be to admit that people drink more than your wine and your wine alone. Talk about competitors, tell me wines you love that others make. Show me that your human, and full of curiosity, I want to connect and I can't connect with someone who only talks about one product. Finally can I stress one thing you said: NO FLASH NO FLASH NO FLASH!!!!!!! If I can't get to the info I want on your site in less then 10seconds, I will go back to google and get it somewhere else! Add to this NO MUSIC!!! I don't want to research a wine with sound...If you have a concert you want me to hear, ask me first, and I'll click the player when I want to! There's more than 2cents there, hope someone enjoys it! Thanks you guys!! Thanks for the nice mention. I would add and subtract from your list.
