The Appellation America Approach to Reviewing Wines:
Appellation America reviewers know their wine…know their mind…and know their place. By “place” we mean the place of origin of the wine, and often the reviewer’s place of practice as a wine writer or wine industry professional. [>] Read More Our reviewers know that the old saying that diversity is the spice of life is the essence of wine appreciation. They know that good wines (and, yes, some not so good ones) are produced in each of the North American winegrowing regions, and that “interesting” not “greatness” is the daily standard of wine appreciation. Appellation America reviewers aim to introduce you to the interesting wines coming from each of those regions. Our reviewers know their minds and their reviews come to you as personal recommendations. Whether you ultimately share their tastes and opinions, you’ll know their minds…their palates…and maybe a bit about their personalities. To be sure, Appellation America reviewers, like the wines they recommend, are distinct and diverse…all in all a damned interesting collection of wine professionals!
