About Winegeeks
A spin-off of the recipe website Foodgeeks, Ryan Snyder and fellow wine geek E.S. "Sunny" Brown founded Winegeeks in November of 2004. Our goal from the beginning has been to provide a 100% free wine website where readers can find detailed information on grapes, regions and specific wines in an accessible language. Members may search through our database of thousands of wine reviews and we encourage them to add their own! Basically, we want to provide an interactive learning environment where we can bridge the vast gap of information between the wine newbies and the wine enthusiasts by creating an online community of wine drinkers at all levels of experience.
Our wine reviews are consumer-driven. The bulk of our reviews come from you, the reader, so that each impression of a wine is posted by the opinion that matters the most- yours! Every single wine that comes across the table is not granted with a superior rating - a wine has to earn it. Wines are judged on several criteria: bouquet, texture, typicity, flavor, ageability and value. As consumers and lovers of fine wine we too have fallen into the trap of shelling out wads of cash for wines worth a quarter of the price. Each wine may be reviewed dozens of times to promote discourse, and each wine's score will be an average of those ratings thereby providing the greatest possible impression of that wine. Ultimately we make sure that the reviews are honest impressions of the wine and the qualities found within.
Most importantly, Winegeeks is designed to encourage visitor interaction. Members may discuss wine related topics on our discussion board, add photos of their trips to wine country, and even manage their wine inventory in My Cellar. Don't like what you paid for that bottle of Bordeaux? Be sure to add that in your review. Have a hot tip about a new wine region? Post your info on the discussion board. Think that we did a great job with our last feature? Add a compliment to the article, or don't, the choice is yours. We winegeeks can only create a phenomenal wine resource by working together.
Cheers,
Ryan and Sunny
