The spin among wine journalists, bloggers and winery owners that believe negative wine reviews are of no use to anyone is a concept that I find as hard to swallow as a raisiny Zin with TCA. Photo credit: sfgate

Today on Wine Bytes, my wine blog on OregonLive, I talk about The positive side of negative wine reviews. Many believe negative wine reviews are of no use to anyone, which is a concept that I find as hard to swallow as a raisiny Zin with TCA.  I buy wine like a consumer.  That status will never change no matter how many samples we receive, and the process of our tasting regimen is vastly different from the Wine Spectator, Robert Parker, Wine Enthusiast, Stephen Tanzer, Tasted, and Vinography. If you are not familiar with our procedure to tasting, reviewing and rating wine check out my latest post here and read my take on the positive side of a negative review.
