Submit Your Wines for Review
The Inland Northwest Wine Century Club always welcomes your samples for review. It is our promise to you that any and all wines received will be reviewed in a timely manner. When wine shipments are received they will be cataloged and properly stored in our climate controlled wine cellar to ensure the highest quality at such time when they are reviewed. Your wine will be professionally reviewed in any one of the following formats:
Vertical
Different vintages of the same wine type and winery are tasted, thus emphasizing the differences between various vintages.
Horizontal
Wines from the same vintage, varietal, type and region but different wineries. This provides insight into the differences in winery styles.
Regional
Wines from the same vintage, varietal, and type (in some cases same winery) but different vineyard regions. This will illustrate the differences in terroir from region to region.
Blind
Scientific research has long demonstrated the power of suggestion in perception as well as the strong effects of expectancies. In our blind tastings we will compare two or more wines that have been placed in numbered paper bags to conceal their identities.
The Inland Northwest Wine Century Club reserves the right to review your wine in a limited setting (less than 4 people) or as part of regular club event. Wine reviews may include a combination of samples received by wineries, retail purchased samples or wines tasted at hosted tasting events. All wines reviewed will be evaluated or scored using our compound Quality:Value scoring method. See our INW Scoring System page for more details. If you submit a wine sample you will receive a copy of the review and an electronic copy (pdf) of the tasting notes and comments taken during the tasting.
The Inland Northwest Wine Century Club will promote your review to its members, followers and friends through our website, social media outlets, and email newsletter. All reviews will be submitted to both traditional and online media outlets including but not limited to Wineography, Cork’d, The Wine Spies and Cellar Tracker.
Do not hesitate to contact the Inland Northwest Wine Century Club to discuss submitting a sample, our upcoming wine review schedule or any aspect of our tasting procedures and policies.
