I’d suggest going with States to keep it simple, but if the Committee finds a specific state (ie California) has too many producers give them discretion region or AVA there instead?
It’s hard to answer whats best until you see where all the producers are.
I know some folks are attracted by offers with a cheaper per-bottle budget - does something like a #BD15Under$40 make sense?
how about #BD15Food ?
#BD15OG for some of the longstanding participants (? How many years though?) Other ways to find them too but there are a number that many of us purchase from repeatedly.
How about #BD15Meat, #BD15Cheese, and #BD15Dicks?
#BD15Newbie
#BD15Napa

Here’s our current list - I’d like to finalize it within the next day or so, and, of course, I can’t have every possible subject with its own tag - just need to cover the bases.
Do the Napa, Sonoma, Paso, and Santa Barbara tags cover all the California wineries participating? If not, would a #BD15California tag be helpful?
Where would a winery like Red Newt fit in? I don’t see a geographic tag that would fit, or a Riesling tag, or even a generic #BD15White tag. (Red Newt might not have made the cut this year, but you get the idea.)
I’m not saying that every winery needs to be tagged, but if tags are meant to increase visibility, I’d hate to see some vendors left out.
While I love Red Newt (bought a bunch in BD14), my feeling is that the tags are there to group like things when there are many of them (more for organizational purposes than for discovery purposes). Red Newt might be the perfect example where any tags we create would only yield one result, which sort of defeats the purpose of the tag, in my view.
Fair enough. Those were just the “holes” that jumped out at me.
We just need more Riesling for BD, which sounds like the right answer 
Not sure the tags are working. I should get this post when searching the tag shouldn’t I?
Also only two tags are showing up as clickable - pinot and chardonnay. And they have zero results when clicking them too.
Or are these tags only found if they are used in the subject line?
Or is it user error? 
It’s user error
Tell me more specifically what you are experiencing
Tags can only be used on the original post of the topic, and you don’t use the search function for tags unless you include the hashtag
Or search tags via the categories page:
Or when you are on a topic that has them, just click one of the tags and it takes you to everything tagged with that same tag
Thanks. Did not think it was just posts tags but within posts on the search. My bad.
Since BD15 is not live yet, I guess there are no posts with bd15chardonnay yet. I guess I have to be patient…
there ARE, you just can’t see them yet - they are all in a forum where the sellers can work on their posts privately
