Forkly Love on Pinterest: Follow Our Delicious Pinterest Boards!

3 Aug

Great news for all our Forkly friends on Pinterest! Our Forkly boards have been up and running on Pinterest with the help of food-lovers like you! Check out our Pinterest page here.

With Forkly on Pinterest, you can look at amazing food & drinks from all over the world all gathered from the Forkly app (and find new users to follow within the app too, hooray)!

We’ve divided our boards by cities and other great categories to make searching on our Pinterest page easy! You can browse our Tastes of the Day all at once, or see what the food & drink favorites are in NYC, California, London, and more!

The Forkly love just keeps on rolling in with repins from some great Forkly users! Rick Bakas and Whole Foods Market have made their own Forkly-dedicated boards on their Pinterest page–let us know if you do too, and we’ll spread the word.

Languedoc Day 2012 Recap: Tastings & Forkly Posts Galore!

7 May

Oh boy, we got Languedoc-ed alright! We loved being part of this year’s #LanguedocDay celebrations — what a huge success! And the tweets and posts are still coming in, fantastic. We’re running the Whole Foods contest until Chardonnay Day, or #ChardDay, on May 24, so read up on how to enter here (Follow @WholeFoodsMarket Forkly account here), stock up on Chardonnay, and keep those posts coming!

In case you missed the explanation about the Languedoc region and Languedoc wines, take a look at sommelier Rick Bakas’ website for some background info. Celebrations occurred across US time zones: Rick and the folks at 1313 Main Street in Napa; The Noble Rot and sommeliers in NYC; Forkly crew and sommeliers in Denver; and the Whole Foods HQ in Austin. All in all, twitter lit up with the trending topic of #LanguedocDay and we had some great Forkly posts of Languedoc Wines, below.

Thanks for participating– and we’re looking forward to #ChardDay on May 24!
