New Wine Submission Protocol
We are setting out to encourage the greatest participation in our tastings for focused categories, a goal we have been working to achieve since we were founded in 1981. And, we want to continue to provide timely reporting on wines coming into the market. To accomplish these two goals, we are announcing a new protocol that will allow us to continue to serve our readers interests as well as the industry’s needs.

Specific Tasting Focuses
Our Tasting Calendar lists the specific tastings that will be the focus of each upcoming issue for the next two years. Wineries and importers can submit wines that fall within these specific categories within our submission window for that issue without a processing fee.

New Releases, Outside of Focus Tastings
*DUE TO THE COVID-19 MANDATES, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCEPT NEW RELEASE SUBMISSIONS AT THIS TIME*
Wineries and importers may choose to submit new release wines outside of those specific categories for our panels to assess, with a processing fee of $20 for each SKU. This processing fee will ensure your wine is tasted by our blind tasting panels promptly.
