Tinto y Blanco is 2

Doesn’t time fly? 2 years on and the site is still expanding and gaining new readers all the time. I must say I’m chuffed with the response to the site, the level of support from the importers, the industry and everyone interested in Spanish and Portuguese wine.  So a big thanks to everyone. As a way of saying thanks I’ve arranged a bit of a give away over here. Make sure you click on this link to enter.

Here are some stats on the past year:

  • In July last year 12,000 people (6,800 according to Google Analytics) looked at the site.  Last month, just over 28,000 dropped by. (13,000 according to Google Analytics)
  • The top 3 search terms for the site are: Flor de Pingus, Pork Belly and Spanish Wine.
  • The strangest link to the site this year is from Cosmopolitan magazine (good to see teenage girls are into Spanish wine).
  • The number of Australian readers increased to 65%. From out side Australia, the USA is the largest with 10%, the UK is second with 9% and it seems that some of the producers are checking up me with Spain and Portugal both coming in at  6% each.
  • There have been 1,281 real comments (528 last year), 29,178 spam commen ts (only 4000 last year!).

  6. Dave,

    Belated birthday wishes and well done on the numbers. The spam count is extraordinary!

  7. I like the site, Dave. Keep up the good work. I saw a great film on wine recently called “Bottle Shock”. It’s a comedy about California’s arrival as a site for the world’s elite wineries. Trailer is on line. I recommend to fellow wine-lovers. Deals more with American/French wines than Spanish wines, but Im trying to educate myself on all European wines!

  8. I saw Bottle Shock at Sundance, and I loved it also. You should check it out, I agree.
