A Somewhat Young China Hand on the Local Drinking Scene

The Chinalyst Blog Awards: Yes, we can!

nd did!

Thanks to everyone who voted for this site in the Chinalyst China Blog Awards and helped it win top honors in the best personal blog for 2008 category. (The wine blog I administer – Grape Wall of China – did well to place fourth in the business blog category.)

I plan to celebrate the victory by spending the prize money on a stretch limousine to help lessen my taxi expenses (prize money to be confirmed), by writing a tell-all book about how I accumulated the 260 votes needed to win (that translates to one vote per – wait a second, checking the calculator – 5 million people in China), and by buying a drink for runner-up Thomas Crampton who got out of the gate late (yes, I’m willing to forgive his trash talk – those smiley faces don’t fool me!).

All kidding aside, thanks to those who voted. This blog is the sum of its writers – and I use the plural because so many other people contribute with guest posts – and its readers. Cheers!

(Note: I also post on Twitter here and Facebook here.)

    Enjoy the limo, fame and fortune. I can’t wait to get that drink!

    Boyce,

    well done. Well deserved. I suggest putting the dough towards liver repairs.
