Evan Dawson Becomes LENNDEVOURS’ Finger Lakes Editor
By Lenn Thompson, Founder and Editor-in-Chief
Long-time readers of this blog will remember the days when there was one lone voice represented here — mine. When this blog was founded over 5 years ago, that was the intent, the goal really — somewhere for me to share my passion for wine, particularly New York wine.
What once was a solo performance has become a bit of a chorus with new
voices bringing texture and layers to my coverage of New York wines. LENNDEVOURS has evolved and grown to become the premier source for real, unbiased news, commentary and reviews of New York wines.
That evolution continues today. I'm happy and excited to announce that Evan Dawson, who has attacked the Finger Lakes beat for LENNDEVOURS with intrepid energy and vigor over the past several months has agreed to expand his role.
Effective immediately, he will assume the role of Finger Lakes Editor for LENNDEVOURS.com. Evan has more than earned it with the great video and writing he's been contributing over the last several months.
There are more announcements coming, but I'll give you a hint for one of them — visit NewYorkCorkReport.com.
For now, let's re-welcome Evan. He never left, but I think we're going to see even more top-notch coverage from the Finger Lakes.
Welcome!
Congrats, Evan!
Outstanding! Congratulations, Evan.
Congratulations, Evan! Your passion for covering the wine scene in the Finger Lakes wine region is evident.
Talk about the right man for the job.
Does this mean we have to constantly hear about the Ravines Meritage?
Peter B: You’re already hearing about it constantly, aren’t you?
Peter - Ouch! The other constant is the Anthony Road TBA, you know!
Good wines keep people talking.
That last comment was mine, not Johannes’.
Congrats Evan! -FLWW
Congrats Evan!
Looking forward to seeing your interesting coverage of Finger Lakes wines and wineries. Love it!
Congratulations-looking forward to working with you all the more.
Thanks everyone, but I should say that hardly anything changes. I’ve been thrilled from the beginning just to be part of a wonderful team of writers, and that thrill not only remains, it increases with each week of coverage.
I will take this opportunity to say: We want to broaden the readership base of Lenndevours, and the most difficult segment to reach is the nebulous “average consumer.” Sure, the average consumer might not spend a lot of time on specialty blogs, but there surely is a segment of avid consumers who would be interested. We always appreciate ideas on new ways to reach a wider audience.
Cheers!
Evan, you’re the perfect one for the job - congrats!
