FAQ for wine lovers:

What will wine lovers find on WinePourtrait.com?
We help you explore wines from dozens of small wineries in many regions. Our list of handcrafted wines grows every month. Once you know your Taste SQ, you can browse our customer reviews and see what wine lovers like you think of these wines, or you can search for wines by variety, region, and winery.

Do I have to take the Taste SQ Interview and register?
No, you don’t. If you want to read a review, watch a video, read a blog, or buy a wine, please be our guest. However, WinePourtrait.com works best when our community of wine lovers shares its enthusiasm and opinions. We ask you to take the Taste SQ Interview and register your Taste SQ so others can know whether their palate is like yours. When you post a review (Click Here to create a review), others with similar tastes will know to trust your opinion. If you don’t want our e-mail newsletter or notices about new wines on WinePourtrait.com, just opt out. Click Here and take the Taste SQ Interview. You’ll learn something about yourself.

Do I have to buy a wine from WinePourtrait.com before I review it?
No, but it is important from a credibility standpoint to show others that you have actually pulled the cork and tried the particular wine. If you buy at a store, restaurant or other website, please be very careful to match the label with the label you see on WinePourtrait.com. The brand, varietal, year, appellation AND vineyard have to match exactly. Plus, watch for extra designations like “reserve.” Of course, if you buy through WinePourtrait.com, we’ll link your purchase right to the correct bottle page where you can begin your review, and you will get an icon next to your username, designating that you purchased the wine from WinePourtrait.com. It’s easy to browse our selection, just Click Here.

What if I don’t like the wine I bought?
Nobody likes every wine they purchase. Tastes in wine vary and it’s hard to describe the taste of wine in words that exactly match a flavor. What you don’t like, others may love. However, if there’s an overt defect — such as a leaky cork, brownish oxidation or a vinegar taste — send a message or call the winery. Click Here to find winery contact info. You should expect a refund or a replacement bottle, ASAP. Each winery is best equipped to handle your service problem, but if the winery doesn’t come through for you, then contact us. We’ll do our best to earn your loyalty.

Does WinePourtrait.com offer wine just from Lodi or just from California?
We are getting our start in Lodi, CA, but we’re not “stuck in Lodi.” We’re reaching out to new wineries every day. If you don’t see a winery you like, Click Here. We’ll try to get them signed up.
