WINE COUNTRY NETWORK LAUNCHES VINOTASTING NEWSLETTER FOR WINE AFICIONADOS
Denver, Colorado--Wine Country Network, Inc., producers of Wine Country
International magazine and the Denver International Wine Festival, today
announced the launch of “Vinotasting,” a full-color print and online
wine-tasting newsletter aimed at sophisticated wine aficionados.
Despite the weak economy, 2009 was the 16th straight year of growth in wine
sales, up 1.5%, with 276 million cases compared with 205 million in 2000.
Today there are more than 6,100 wineries in the United States and more than
40,000 International wineries. The US wine market is evolving into the
largest market for wines in the world.
"Vinotasting” aims to help consumers find exceptional wine values.
Christopher Davies, Chairman & CEO of Wine Country Network explains, “Our
tasting panel will meet several times monthly to taste wines blind, thus
providing unbiased evaluations of the newest wine releases. Our ‘Best Buy’
ratings are given to wines that we feel offer exceptional quality for their
price. Most ‘Best Buy’ wines are $20 or less. Our ‘Best Wine’ ratings
distinguish exceptional quality wines of any price point when compared with
other similar wines."
Harold J. Baer, Jr., the former owner and founder of “The Colorado Wine
News,” has joined Wine Country Network as Editor-in-Chief of “Vinotasting.”
He brings more than 20 years of experience in wine journalism, judging and
overseeing prestigious wine competitions such as the Denver International
Wine Competition.
The new “Vinotasting” print newsletter will be published on a quarterly
basis and offered to all subscribers of “Wine Country International®
“ magazine. A deluxe annual subscription will include 4 newsletters, 2
issues of “Wine Country International®” glossy magazine and membership in
the Vinotasting money-saving members club. Cost: $24
Wine Country Network will also publish “Vinotasting” as a stand-alone
printed newsletter and offer online, PDF and Kindle versions by
subscription.
