Decidedly unpretentious, well researched, expert wine reviews written by a certified sommelier.
SWP is written for those looking for an inside scoop on a great bottle of wine to bring to a dinner party, for those who need a gift idea more novel than a bottle of Moët & Chandon, and for those who always want a few solid recommendations in their back pocket for their next trip to the liquor store.
Occasion-based recommendations, complete with food pairing suggestions is what SWP does best. So, whether you’re meeting the parents, celebrating a promotion, lounging fireside on a Saturday afternoon, gifting a valued client, or, heading up north for the weekend, SWP’s got a wine for that.
And, what’s more? These recommendations are entirely unbiased - not sponsored or paid for by any winery, wine agent or retailer.
