5 Signs You Are at a Wine Bloggers Conference

All my wine blogging friends are off to Virginia for WBC11 this week. I can't make it this year due to other commitments. But I’ll be thinking of you guys and trying not to get too jealous from reading all your #WBC11 tweets. Before you go here's something for veterans and newbies to consider--

1. The ribbons on conference badges are often NSFW. Stay away from people with more than two ribbons on their badge.

2. You accidentally get engaged to a fellow wine blogger during the speed tasting rounds. (I really need to give Randy of WineBizRadio this ring back)

3. The breakfast buffet offers Orange juice, Coffee and Absinthe.

4. You are shocked to find people don't look anything like their Twitter avatars IRL. Um Hello Kitty…aka Fred Swan aka @NorCalWIne!
