I do accept wine, beer, spirits samples, non-alcoholic beverages (coffee and tea) and allied products (books, stemware, tools, apps, closures, etc) as well. I cannot guarantee that I will blog or create video reviews for all wines or products submitted.
I may create a video or online review for several bottles sent to me of the same label or label family or may complete review of a single bottle in either video or written online format. If I have video reviewed wines in the past is no guarantee I will do that in the future. I may include in my social media postings but I do not guarantee I will post image of every sample I receipt. I may or may not do a video review and social media postings and that may vary. But there is no guarantee for all wines to be reviewed. I may in the future start reviewing wines on my podcast and may include wine sample(s).
I prefer to have at least of two bottles submitted per wine.
Yes
- I accept domestic and imported wines
- I accept still, sparkling and sweet wines
- I accept all wine bottle size formats 750 ml, magnum, etc. including box wines and aluminum cans
- I accept sparkling wine at their current bottle format
- I accept samples of mass production wine, beer or spirits
- I accept food, coffee and tea and other non-alcoholic beverages
- I accept food and beverage accessories (stemware)
No
- I will no longer accept or review heavy bottle format wines 750 ml for environmental reasons (example 1000 g/2.2 lbs per bottle weight minus weight of content)
- I do not accept private label wine, beer or spirits or other allied products under any circumstance (private label – meaning for only one retailer or channel)
- I never write about anything that I do not experience directly (products, services or events)
- I will not accept Petit Sirah (meaning 100% Petit Sirah, if a wine has a small percentage I will accept)
- I do not write solely from a press release
Please contact me if you have any question
If you would like me to review your wine, beer, spirit, coffee, tea or non-alcoholic beverage, food product, o beverage or food accessory, please contact me at james@jamesthewineguy.com

Content Policy
I write stories based on experience and not from press releases. While a press release might prompt a look at a product(s) and brand it doesn’t mean that a story will be published.
While I engage multiple of medias it should not be assumed that I complete stories in all medias. While I might complete more than one video on a product it should not be assumed that will also be the case. I rarely complete both written and video pieces on the same subject
And upon writing a story I do not guarantee it will be picked up or highlighted by additional medial source. I also do not release any metrics on my stories. If you have questions please let me know.
