How do I access the scores and reviews of Vinfolio's professional wine reviewer partners through my Vinfolio account?
Because of Vinfolio's partnerships with Stephen Tanzer, Allen Meadows, Roy Hersh's For The Love of Port,
and Richard Juhlin's Champagne Club, we are able to integrate their complete set of reviews into both the
Wine Store and VinCellar.
In the Wine Store:
- Every wine listed in search results displays the reviewer initials and score when available. The latest score of each reviewer is displayed as well as scores from Robert Parker and Wine Spectator. Hovering your mouse icon over the score will pop up the full review and clicking on the wine name displays a full page of details with all reviews on the wine, including drink date recommendations.
In VinCellar:
- Find the specified wine in your VinCellar account.
- Click on the wine name to bring up the Wine Overview window where you may see a summary of all professional scores and drink date recommendations (if any) without separate paid subscriptions to each reviewer.
- If you have registered a paid subscription, you may also see the full text of that reviewer's comments in the Professional Reviews tab of the Wine Overview window.
What topics are covered in The Wine Collector blog by Steve Bachmann?
Sometimes it's helpful to define something by what it isn't and this is one of those times. The Wine Collector is not a blog to read for the latest in wine recommendations or producers. There are hundreds of other blogs, websites, newsletters, and magazines where you can read those opinions (including Free Run Juice on this site). The Wine Collector will instead address the many practical activities involved in being a wine collector to help you use your time efficiently and intelligently. The end goal is to create more time for enjoying your wine and to bring a degree of order to your collection, however big or small.

Read the articleI also have nothing but good things to say about buying wine from Vinfolio and since their wine store is fully
integrated with their inventory and storage, it saves me shipping charges. Overall, service is awesome.
