When I opened my e-mail this morning, I found wonderful news: my wine blog Perlage Suite is one of the 3 finalist blogs for the Europe area at the Millesima Blog Awards 2017!! I am really happy about this unexpected nomination! Although I entered the competition with my article on Oysters, being of international stature and knowing the crazy number of wine blogs competing all over Europe, I was not so optimistic!
At this LINK you will find the list of 18 finalists (9 in the USA and 9 in EUROPE), 3 per category. I chose to participate in the Food & Wine Pairing category because I love food and wine pairing and believe that both exist to enhance each other! ?
The technical jury of the competition consists of Aurélien Valance, Panos Kakaviatos and Mike Turner... but to achieve this great goal I also need your support:

For the fourth edition of the Millésima Blog Awards, Millésima has decided to join forces with an exceptional partner: the Château Pichon Baron in Pauillac. Owned by the famous AXA Millésimes group, this enchanting château will undertake, together with the Millésima wine merchant, to offer the 7 winners of the competition rich prizes and a dream week among the most beautiful châteaux in the Bordeaux region, just like in fairy tales...
Basically if you help me win I will be able to make a beautiful Reportage in this enchanted place! Perlage Suite is the materialisation of all my dreams as a child: to live by writing about my passions, helping others realise theirs. After two years devoted with love to helping aspiring Sommeliers to become Sommeliers, I am asking you for help now!
