THIS PAGE TO CLARIFY ALL SPONSOR RELATIONSHIPS AND FULFILL MY BLOGGER REQUIREMENT UNDER THE NEW FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION (FTC) REGULATIONS FOR BLOGGERS AND SOCIAL MEDIA.
Everything written in this blog is my own opinion or the opinion of guest bloggers. All posts are carefully researched and are truthful to the best of my knowledge.
I am a private sommelier, winemaker, and freelance journalist. Formerly a public relations professional, I also occasionally help non-profit organizations through my services. I have the freedom to comment about any aspect of the businesses and industries discussed here without fear of punishment or opportunity for reward.
When traveling, I often gain access to businesses that is not available to the general public. This access provides me with background information to assist my research as a journalist and does not compromise my judgement or affect what I write. In addition, I occasionally receive free services, products, and tastings. If I should ever publish a story that includes comments about anything I received free, I will indicate this in a disclosure specific to the blog post.
This website is my personal property and reflects my opinions and the opinions of any guest authors entirely.The businesses and employees that I write about have no control over what I write, photograph, or post on this blog. Nothing published here is advertising for any person or company, but instead is my own perspective.
