Catavino Internet Marketing was born out of the widely popular wine blog, Catavino.net. In 2005, we started Catavino.net to educate people around the world about Spanish and Portuguese wines. What started as a hobby blossomed into a career, and in late 2006, Catavino Internet Marketing was created to help wineries like yourself to use the Internet more effectively. By helping select wineries to start blogs, and begin the online dialogue, we felt that we would be more effective in spreading the word about quality Spanish and Portuguese wines to a wider global audience.
Currently, Catavino.net is one of the top ten wine blogs worldwide, growing in readership daily. In 2008, we created the first ever Wine Bloggers Conference, welcoming participants from 11 countries to La Rioja, Spain, to discuss the effects wine blogging is having on the global wine industry. Ryan and Gabriella have served as wine judges in Portugal, are both Certified Sherry Educators, and speak frequently on issues related to the web and wine. Gabriella is also part of the international, and highly respected, Circle of Wine Writers; which includes members such as Jancis Robinson, Oz Clark and John Radford.
