Hi all, I have started a new blog called Wine in a Midwest City. My
wine professional friends are contributing to it. Read and leave your
comments!
http://wineinamidwestcity.blogspot.com/

The best way to promote it online is to start talking with the people who you want to read it. Online forums and message boards (online communities dedicated to specific topics) are the places to find these people. Google the term "wine forums" and several results will come up. Get involved in conversations and become a part of the community. Don't just post a message that says "read my blog" because people will view this as spam. Moderators will usually delete such posts. Create a signature that includes the name and the link to your blog, since links are usually allowed in signatures. The most you post, the more times your link will be seen.

As for offline marketing, try giving out business cards or talking your blog up at wineries and local wine tastings.
