Set out below are some disclaimers, disclosures and copyright information that apply to Grape Observer.
I receive wine, product samples and event invitations from time to time: I receive wine and product samples from time to time from third parties for the purpose of review on this website. For transparency, where samples have been reviewed, these are noted in the review as "Source: sample". I also receive invitations to attend events from time to time where wine is provided and food also may be provided by the host. For transparency, in every case, I also disclose this fact in any review. If I feel that I am unable to properly review wines free from a potential conflict of interest, I do not review them at all. I do not accept payment for any wines reviewed.
You can refer to this wine review: You may reproduce or refer to part of the material on this website provided that credit is given to "Grape Observer" and the material is not misrepresented. You may refer to the material with or without the score. Reproduction of the material contained on this website without written permission is otherwise prohibited by law.

Your own preferences and tastes should always guide you.
Tasting conditions vary: In an ideal world, all wines reviewed would be tasted blind out of perfectly stored bottles, first class glassware, at the right temperature and with many hours to deliberate on the wine. Reality is frequently different. It is therefore possible, and not necessarily for these reasons alone, that wines will present differently on different occasions.

Where any law implies a warranty into these terms of use which may not lawfully be excluded, then to the maximum extent permitted by law, liability for breach of the warranty will be limited, at my option, to the supply of the services again, or the payment of the cost of having them supplied again.
Not advice and limitations of the internet: The material on this website is intended to contain my opinions, and is not intended to be advice. The material may be updated and amended from time to time. Visitors to this website should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of any of the material on this website without first obtaining advice specific to their own situation.
