Why You Can Count On Our Reviews
At California Winery Advisor, we don't mess around when it comes to recommending the best wines. We're not just relying on our own expertise - we've got a team of wine connoisseurs who know their stuff inside and out. We insist that anyone involved in our testing process have a minimum of the WSET (Wine and Spirits Education Trust) Level II certification. Plus, we're always tapping into insider knowledge throughout California's wine country to bring you the most up-to-date recommendations on places to sip, eat, and stay.
Our Testing Process
While drinking wine, whiskey, and beer is meant to be fun, our testing process is no joke - we take our sipping and swirling seriously! Our team of experts puts each bottle, can, box, and dram through rigorous tests to ensure that only the finest sips make it onto our list. And trust us, it's a tough job but someone's gotta do it!
Each wine, whiskey, or beer gadget is also put through testing. We use the tools to open, pour, aerate, and store. We only recommend the tools that we enjoy using ourselves.
We often reach out to wine clubs, whiskey clubs, regional wine associations, distillers, or product manufacturers we are interested in. We request samples and explain that we will offer an unbiased review.
Who We Are Making Recommendations For
We believe in inclusivity, which is why we recommend wines, whiskeys, beers, hotels, and gadgets for every palate and every budget. Whether you are a seasoned or a casual drinker, we've got something for everyone. And if you're looking to try something new, our team of experts will guide you toward discovering your next favorite bottle.
Our recommendations aren't just limited to big brands and mainstream options. If you are looking for natural wines, vegan options, craft whiskeys. or non-alocholic beers, we've got you covered.
But let's be real - wine tasting isn't all serious business. We like to have fun while doing what we love! So join us on this boozy adventure as we explore the best wines California has to offer. Cheers!
