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."

Roger Recently, at a dinner with friends, one man's date turned to me and complained, "He's so boring.  All he ever talks about is wine.  All day long he talks about wine."

     I probably  looked hurt, because I was just as engrossed in our discussion of Syrah as he was.  Lorraine leaned toward me and whispered, "She's right, you know.  We're all hopeless wine geeks.  Look at us from an outsider's point of view."
