Hello wine lovers!
We would love it if you could share your opinions about your favorite wineries in the US with our visitors at
Just locate your favorite winery (or wineries), and leave a review about what you think of their wines.
Your input would be extremely valuable.
If you don't see your favorite winery, just let us know here
and we will include it!
Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Lets see, you want one of us to help you develop your data base and give you leads for adding to your client portfolio.
That's pretty brazen for a first time poster here. I'm sure many of us would help out someone we knew or someone who used a little verbal foreplay beforehand.
Be a bit fair... The title is: >US American Winery Directory Listing Vineyards, Tours and Wine Festival Events.
I don't see how that is misleading... maybe you can share with me how that is misleading?
As far as "develop the database and give leads for adding to client portfolio.. " I don't have any idea what you are talking about. The database is already there, If there are a couple of wineries missing, that's possible, then don't leave your opinion, no harm done...
If you're going to chew me out, at least be fair about it. If I made a faux pas, by "going against the culture" here then I'll own it and give my mea culpa's. To be honest, I didn't think it would be a big deal to ask people to share their opinions about wineries if they so wanted to....but I have been known to make a mistake or two in my past...
Anyway, I bet you do have some good opinions about wines and wineries you have experienced so I'll search the group for you and see what you have written.... If maybe I can fix my faux pas, maybe you'll reconsider....
Anyway, I do appreciate your feedback, Thanks (not being sarcastic).

No offense taken---over the 8+years I've been posting here, I'm one of the informal gate-keepers. In the 8 years there have been occasional attempts to misuse the group---there are a number of people ITB on this board and they know not to post commercial messages--some time after a post by one of my fellow curmudgeons.
If your purpose was merely as a consumer, your request was reasonable but you're taking ads--so it's more than a hobby.
The last wine writer I recommended Italian & California wineries to was Robert Parker. I'm tired of being blamed for escalation of prices on Sassicaia and certain boutiques in California after they were Parkerized. You're on your own pal. (Smile)

The request was merely as a consumer, just wanting to allow people to share their opinions of wineries they have experineced in the past or would like to in the future. Not trying to sell anything here other than a "please share your opinion".
Yes I am taking ads to help pay for the cost of upkeeping the site, as I am finding it is becoming a full time job and I will need to get some help with maintaining it. But that ads wouldn't be directed at anyone in this forum, as it isn't an appropriate market.
Thanks for your feedback, and sorry to hear about your role in the escalation of prices of Sassicaia... I was wondering who I should blame for that. ;^)
