Call for Wine: James Suckling requests your wines for 2021 Oregon report

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: open it up to send whatever variety they decide, but always specifying that 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 in Hong Kong. The team at James Suckling will be facilitating shipping overseas and all we need to do is have the wines ready over the next month in Salem at Northwest Distribution & Storage. There they will stay climate controlled and be palletized and shipped to Hong Kong.

Finally, as an added assurance so we know what’s coming and going, we can track what’s submitted if you fill this form out for each wine: https://forms.gle/zzsF7t6o8EcgyJBj9
