HI Emery,

We review dozens of wines each week to find only the best wines. We
are offered hundreds of wines each month and reject most. Thousands
of repeat customers love and trust our in-depth reviews. Of course,
to each his own. We all have personal taste and our members trust
ours.

As for posting reviews here, I will keep it to just the core tasting
notes as some of you have so kindly suggested.
