The campaign aims to create an educational documentary film on the region by the James Beard Award-winning producer/director John Barkley. The backdrop to this story is that Vibrant Rioja, a partnership between DOC Rioja and Wines from Spain, pays Adrian to blog about Riojan food and wine with the caveat that he has full editorial autonomy. Now on one hand, I think it’s fantastic that Spanish wine organizations are getting on the Web 2.0 bandwagon, commissioning bloggers to promote their wines. On the other hand, why would you commission a blogger, but then take 20 steps back saying, “…opinions expressed herein are entirely the author’s own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Vibrant Rioja, Wines from Spain, ICEX, or the Regulating Council of DOCa Rioja”?
