Spiltwine.com is officially open for business! And right off the mark I’m going to announce a small challenge I’m lucky enough to be a part of….
The Casillero del Diablo Challenge is happening today! It’s a bloggers competition of sorts.
First, we are tasting a range of Casillero del Diablo wines (Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz Rosé and Cabernet Sauvignon) live via video link and Twitter. Then we are going to decide what sort of foods to have with the wines and go off in search of products. After that we all reconvene at The Kitchen and put our wine matching skills to the test with a live cook-off!
It’s like ready-steady-cook but with lots more wine (and hopefully better food).
Besides myself the contestants are:
@scandilicious - http://scandilicious.blogspot.com and
@goodshoeday – http://withknifeandfork.com
With @thirstforwine - http://wineconversation.com – on hand all day to make sure it runs smoothly.
I was really hoping for some wino alliances but looks as if I’m all alone against some pretty hardcore foodies. I just hope all that time watching the omelette race on Saturday Kitchen comes in handy.
So if you are around to today tune in!
All video, photos and posts will be on

With the LIVE video TASTING at 12:50 and the COOK-OFF at 19:00

Wish me luck.
Brilliant Louis!! Congratulations on the new venture – it is brilliant – as we would expect.
