Frequently Asked Questions

These are questions we hear all the time.  Naturally, the answers are ours.

  1. Why don’t you link to Natalie MacLean’s blog and website?
    Ms. MacLean is a proven plagiarist (http://palatepress.com/2012/12/wine/content-theft/). She has also engaged in “pay for play” behavior (http://palatepress.com/2012/12/wine/pay-for-play-wine-writing/).   We try to avoid linking to folks like this.  And we remove our links when we learn about them.
  2. Do you accept samples?
    Dicey area.  In general, we pay our own way.  If we review a wine we almost certainly paid for it.  While we occasionally get trade and/or media discounts, we do our best not to be swayed by that.  Our policy is to not accept samples.
  3. Are you nuts?
    Most likely, but we’re having fun.
