Exotic Wine Travel has made it to the final round of the Millésima Blog Awards 2019. Could we get your help to cross the finish line?

Last year, we submitted articles to the Millésima Blog Awards 2018 and were disappointed they did not become finalists. This year we were elated that two of Charine’s articles and one of my videos were shortlisted in the 2019 edition of the competition. Twenty-five finalists in five categories were announced in January 2019. A panel of judges chose five winners from the finalists, which were announced on February 1st.

We thought that Charine’s food & wine pairing article and my video had good chances to win. Unfortunately, neither of us were chosen by the jury. There is new life for us, the sixth winner of Millésima Blog Awards 2019 will be selected by public vote. The voting period is now and ends Sunday, 10 February 2019 at 11:59 pm (Central European Time), 5:59 pm (Eastern Standard Time).

VOTE for the sixth Millésima Blog Award Winner

All the Millésima Blog Award winners receive a trip to Bordeaux, France during the en-primeur 2019. It’s one of the most important weeks in the wine industry. Both of us would love to attend, for our own education and to produce informative content for you. Although it’s not possible for us to attend together this year, there is hope for one of us. It all depends on the vote. Could you lend us a helping hand? 

Millésima Blog Awards: Food & Wine Pairing

Charine has two articles that are shortlisted as finalists. We feel that her article about pairing food and wine is the better of the two. It’s about a Tornai Szürkebarát (Pinot Gris) from Somló, Hungary paired with Indonesian stew from her childhood.

VOTE: You can vote for Charine’s article “The Unlikely Partners: Somlói Wine and Indonesian Stew” by clicking on
