If you would like to send samples, please email joanne@sommwine.com for a mailing address.
Samples will be tasted blind and every effort will be taken to taste them blind among other offerings. I prefer to do this to ensure that your wine is tasted with the best atmosphere for objectivity. I rate wines on a 100 point scale and you can read more about that scale below.
There is no fee from me to taste and assess your wines. As such, there is no guarantee that I will publish points or information about your wines. With that said, wine makes me happy and if your wines make me happy, there is a good chance I will share that information either on my blog on this website, on instagram (@sommwine.online), twitter (@sommwine) or facebook , or on more than one platform.
As of May 2021, my website receives over 1200 visitors a month. I have over 3600 followers on twitter (@sommwine), and over 300 followers on instagram (@sommwine.online – this low number is because I was hacked, kicked off the platform and have to rebuild with a new handle – darn it!).
If the wine is not to my taste, or it rates under 88 points. I will not publish any results. I will prefer to be silent.
It’s important to note wines that score from 84-87 points are still good wines! Yet, it seems that the general population is only impressed with 88 points and above which is why I’ve made this a policy.
