EWBC2010, wine sleuth, wine videos

Our trip via Munich to the Euro Wine Blogging Conference in Vienna wasn’t all about drinking and eating! Sleuthy and I indulged in some pretty serious investigative journalism I’ll have you know – in between all that wine imbibing and stuffing our faces with some pretty decent Austrian food – as the following two in-depth and ground-breaking videos demonstrate. (Ummm… when I say ground-breaking and in-depth…)

All you RSS subscribers have to click through to the site to view… With thanks to jim Budd for the (on-going) loan of his Canon Powershot A620 with which these were taken.
