Sunday, December 4th will be the second annual #CabFrancDay. All day we will be tweeting facts about Cabernet Franc. We will culminate the day with a twitter chat beginning at 8pm EST and a virtual tasting at 9pm EST. My #WinePW friends will be joining in the celebration and extending the fun throughout the week into our December chat on Saturday December 10th at 11am EST.
As the creator of #CabFrancDay, I will be hosting the December #WinePW. I am being purposely vague about what the mission, if they choose to accept it, will be. All I ask is that they pick up a bottle of Cabernet Franc and pair it with whatever their heart desires! Cabernet Franc is such a versatile variety, it can pair with almost anything, so I am excited to see what creative dishes my friends will come up with. These posts will be shared on Cab Franc Day’s website and if someone creates a pairing they absolutely adore, I am hoping they will let me add it to our recipe page!
The #WinePW crew will be having a live #winePW Twitter Chat on December 10, 11 a.m. EST. If you have blog and would like to participate just follow the steps below. If you don’t have a blog, you can still join in the chat!

Send your post title to me by Monday, December 5th to be included in the preview post. I will do a preview post shortly after getting the titles, linking to your blogs. Your title should include “#winePW “

Include a link to the other #winePW participants in your post, and a description of what the event is about. I’ll provide the html code you can easily put in your initial post–which will link to people’s general blog url–then updated code for the permanent links to everyone’s #winePW posts.
Get social! After the posts go live, please visit your fellow bloggers posts’ to comment and share. I’ll follow-up later with some specific strategies for that social sharing.
