A new community wine site seeking feed back on the site.

Hi Everyone,

I need to get some objective feed back from the online wine community. I figure by now alot of you have seen a few hundred wine sites and you know what you like and what you don't. Well after 6 months of development and the choice to build this wine site than buy a house I need some objective feed back. I am not looking for roses or anything I want to know what you really think. Is it good, bad or ok and then if you don't mind "why".

A wine site for everyone. Written by everyone. Share your knowledge. Share your experiences. Share your passion.

Since this is a wine experience posting area I'll share the last wine I tried, it's a super cheap but good Argentinian

It would help if you named the wines in the blurbs instead of forcing folks to click on the blurb to find out who the maker is. Additionally the site seems very commercial and I would hesitate to sign up figuring that I would be asked to buy something at some point. Perhaps it was the glowing reviews of Yellowtail (which I had to click on to find out that it was Yellowtail) that made me think that I was being set-up for a sale.

I think there is something we are not being told.

Well the site is designed to look good and be functional. As of yet its not fully functional. The person who put in the Yellow tail gave all the yellow tails a glowing review. that was her choice. You can review the wine and put your negative review in if you like. Or you can add wines you like and then review them.

The info listed for the yellow tail is the winery's description so you will see that text all over the web, we handle user descriptions as reviews. This is in response to Steve's post below.

There is no plan to ask customers to buy something via the site. The plan is for the site to be a totally free experience otherwise its not a community wine site.
