For producers, importers, and consorzi

Put your DOC on the board.

I'm tasting at least one wine from every DOC and DOCG in Italy and writing each one up here with a score. For most of these appellations there's almost no English-language writing anywhere. Search “Bivongi DOC” and you'll find a Wikipedia stub and not much else. My page for your appellation will likely be the first thing an American buyer, sommelier, or importer reads about it.

So far I've tasted 0 of the 410. 410 still need a bottle.

Here's what you get if your wine is the one I taste for your appellation

A scored, written review by a Senior Editor at International Wine Report, on a permanent page with your name, the wine, photos of the bottle, and links to your website and your US importer.
Your name on the appellation page as the producer who put that DOC on the board.
A spot on the Founding Producers wall on the home page for everyone who helps in the first year.
Posts to my audience and my wife Taylor's food and travel audience when I taste it.
A badge and a quote you can use on your own site and social.

Consorzi: nominate one producer with stock in the US and I'll credit the consorzio on the appellation page.

The rules

Samples are welcome and every review says when the bottle was a sample. Scores are mine. There's no way to pay for a review or a score, and I'll say so on every page.

Getting a bottle to me

Send two bottles of each wine. One gets opened and scored, and the second covers a corked or heat-damaged bottle so a bad bottle doesn't cost you the review.

You can ship them straight to my address in Washington State, and your US importer sending them works just as well. Fill out the form, tell me which route you'll use, and I'll reply with the address.
