Wine! Our primary focus is on the winery itself. Our standardized evaluation is scored solely on the winery (physical plant, knowledge of staff, customer service, hospitality, cleanliness, etc.). We would welcome you to score any winery you would like using our standardized approach. We'll post your scoring and comments via our Twitter account and credit you with the scoring. We'll also post your comments and winery photos on our site (crediting you as well). Some of our operatives have assumed identities but you might prefer to use your own name. Meanwhile, though we don't have a standardized method for scoring wine, we would welcome your comments on non-alcoholic wines to be posted here. We really appreciate your interest. Thanks, The Wine Spy Greetings M. Wine!

We spy on wineries. We send operatives into the field to complete a standardized review of wineries. If our operative must blend in with the locals by drinking wine, so be it. Our standardized scoring is reported if the winery achieves 70% or better. Below 70% and we report only that the winery scored below 70%. Our goal is to provide consumers with a standardized means of comparing wineries. Follow us on <a href="http://twitter.com/thewinespy" rel="nofollow">Twitter: thewinespy</a>.
