Vino Camp 09: Total and Utter Geekery
That’s right, my Saturday was total and utter geekery…nerdiness…dorkiness…whatever word you prefer to use, that’s what my day was. And it was awesome.
Where was I, you ask? Vino Camp & Cheese Camp.
Let me first say on what level the day deserves this title, or ‘levels’ I should say. First, there was wine. A lot was organic, free from herbicides and pesticides and chemicals. Many were local, and most were very tasty. It was swirled, smelled, drank and discussed about.
Then there was cheese. Goat cheese, blue cheese, comte, brie - all of which, except for the blue in my opinion, were also very tasty (others were serious fans of the salty and savory taste of the blue). Don’t get me wrong, though it makes for the prettiest pictures, blue is just not my kind o’ cheese.
And then there was the third level of geekiness - the social media kind. Seriously, somebody organizing this event understands us nerds, understands how to get us all out to eat cheese and drink wine, and how to encourage us log the entire experience from start to finish. They give us wine and cheese, we drink, eat, and pretty much work the entire time tweeting, texting, photographing, blogging, and video blogging the deliciousness of it all while they sit back and watch. Er, eat and drink. Smartie pants.
Job well done to all who organized this event, I’m already looking forward to next year.

Thanks Helen! I do poke fun at the geekiness of it all, but a good time was definitely had by all.

Nom, that bleu d’auvergne was delicious. I’m sad that you don’t like blue cheese, but that just means more for me.
Gorgeous pictures. They make me want to be back at camp again.

Thank you Eagranie
Yes, you can have all the blue cheese…I’ll have all the comte!
Someone suggested an overnight vino/cheese camp…can you imagine??!! Possibly quite dangerous…
