Wine Samples
We here at vinbuba.com do accept wine samples offered by wineries, distributors and retailers but seldom solicit them directly. If you are interested in submitting samples please contact us at info (at) vintuba (dot) com. The submission of samples however does not mean that we will review all wines submitted on our site or in our podcasts, but we will taste and offer our notes privately to all submissions upon request. It is our policy to disclose the sources of all wines we do not buy directly. It is rare that e give a wine bad review for the simple reason that we do not want to waste our time, and yours for that matter, writing or podcasting about a wine we did not enjoy. It is our goal to recommend wines that we think you will enjoy!
