Guidelines for PR, Wineries, and Wine Accessory Brands Interested in Sending Samples

Hello to all my friends in PR, wineries, and wine accessory companies! I truly appreciate your interest in sending samples—it’s an honor to receive them.

Please Note: Coverage Is Not Guaranteed

While I love exploring new products, please understand that receiving a sample does not guarantee coverage on my blog, social media, newsletter, or in any of the publications I regularly contribute to. If I find the product compelling or feel it would be beneficial to my readers and followers, I will gladly share my thoughts across these platforms. However, there is no specific timeline for coverage.

My Approach to Reviews and Recommendations

I strive to review every sample I receive thoughtfully, but due to the volume—especially in the wine category—timing can vary. I appreciate your patience as I work through my inventory.

Commitment to Authenticity

It’s important for me to only endorse products I genuinely believe in. If your product doesn’t align with my standards or personal preferences, please understand that it simply won’t be featured. This isn’t a reflection on your product, but rather a commitment to maintaining trust with my audience.

Thank you again for considering me for sample reviews. I look forward to discovering more incredible wines and wine accessories to share with my community!
