About Wine Review Online, Inc.
Wine Review Online was originally conceived by Publisher Robert Whitley as
an all-encompassing platform for the many talented wine journalists he came
across in his travels as wine columnist for the Copley News Service. Early
in 2005, Whitley partnered with Editor Michael Franz, a wine columnist for
The Washington Post, who had been entertaining similar thoughts and Wine
Review Online was born. The company has assembled a veritable all-star team
of respected wine journalists. The crew is not only experienced in the
wines of the world, but insightful, entertaining and funny, too! It is the
company's goal to deliver the very finest in wine evaluation, information
and education. More information can be found at www.winereviewonline.com.
