ETHICS & SAMPLING POLICY
If you are inquiring about my sampling policy, please email me first at barola@alicefeiring.com.
I will accept some samples but please do ask first, or else you run the risk of sending me samples at great expense, just to have me leave them at my neighbors, and that would be a shame.
The wines I am interested in come from at least sustainable agriculture. Have native yeast fermentation and natural malo as well. No adds and nothing taken away, no chips, enzymes…etc, or heroics like RO or MOX. If you fit into this, I’d be happy to look at your wine and in fact, I will appreciate it. I only write about wines I love, so please bear that in mind.
My ethics, well, I do my best. This might seem too simple, but I do my best to keep my nose and reputation clean. I can’t accept specific winery trips, though I could be open to regional invitations. I also do accept invitations to speak on panels and other professional opportunities.
