All Oregon wineries are invited to submit three different skus of Oregon wine, any variety of new release that has not yet been reviewed by JamesSuckling.com. One bottle apiece, and in their words: there is no limitation as far as varieties, they can submit their best wines / best sellers. The wines should be those currently in the market, or soon-to-be released, and not yet rated by JamesSuckling.com.
If you don’t know if your wine has yet been reviewed, please email Berenice Maulhardt [email protected]
These will be reviewed by James Suckling and his team here in Oregon and all you need to do is have the wines ready by March 31, 2022 in Salem at Northwest Distribution & Storage. There they will stay climate controlled and be palletized.
