Who is talking about the WWCB?

  • Critical Cloud
    "Read 'Wine and Pregnancy--The Lies Women Are Told' from the delightful Women Wine Critics Board website."
  • Fermentation
    In "Wine and the Devil's Child"--"The article at Women Wine Critics Board is strong. Read it."
  • Fork & Bottle
    "The BEST Web Read in a long time: 'Wine and Pregnancy - Lies That Women Are Told,' is a great article by Daniel Rogov over at the Women Wine Critics blog."
  • Slate Magazine
    In what could be seen as another indication that women are particularly frustrated with pointillism and cherry-and-berry tasting notes, a group called the Women's Wine Critics Board—composed of women wine professionals—is working on an alternative form of wine assessment, one more attuned to issues like cost and versatility.
  • Vines & Wines
    "This article at Women Wine Critics Board wonderfully summarizes the debate about alcohol and fetal alcohol sydrome. Excellent references are given."
  • Vinography
    "Another excellent bit of writing on the internet, this time about a very interesting and controversial subject: drinking and pregnancy."

Appellation America Selects Two WWCB Writers

Lauranesscaricature We are pleased to announce that two WWCB writers have been selected as regional correspondents byAppellationAmerica.

AppellationAmerica is a new online publication devoted to promoting appellation consciousness across North America. In addition to articles and reviews, the Appellation Discovery Program seeks to identify threads of commonality and pinpoint terroir-based signatures in the wines of each appellation, if such commonality exists, or is developing.

Mary Baker will be covering the Paso Robles appellation with articles, wine reviews, roundtable discussions, and Discovery Panel tastings. Laura Ness is the regional correspondent for the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Appellation America is a comprehensive online wine portal providing access to every winery, grape varietal, and appellation on the North American continent. Its mission is to have the best wine writers in the wine business working in each region to discover and develop distinct wine region identities, and then build appellation consciousness in the broader wine consuming culture. From coverage of the bold, fruit-forward wines of Paso Robles to the elegant, complex style of Long Island wines, Appellation America provides relevant, useful information.

Marybakercaricature2_1 The regional correspondents also organize Discovery Panel tastings, designed to identify specific wine characteristics associated with the terroir and cultural traditions of each region. Wines that are determined by the Discovery Panel to best express the characteristics of their appellation earn AppellationAmerica’s "Appellation Signature" distinction.

A current Roundtable Discussion is open to everyone. The question on the blackboard is:

"Paso Robles is three times as large as Napa, geographically. Are there distinctive regions within Paso Robles?"

We encourage you to post your thoughts, observations and comments in the Appellation America Roundtable, and join this team in a journey to discover the individualistic stamp of our North American wine regions.
