I am constantly being asked what “Vinotology” is. People ask me how long I had to go to school to become a Vinotologist. Truth be told, I think of Vinotology as being less science, and more of a cult (think Scientology without all the aliens and scary celebrities jumping on couches). As the world’s first Vinotologist, I am opening up the floor to discuss what the core principles of Vinotology should be. Would love to see some creative suggestions for terminology to use for our new religion as well (no religion is complete without it’s own jargon). Feel free to post your suggestions in the comments below. This new religion is still young, and we are still working out the kinks. With your help Vinotology can change lives and generate world peace. Okay, maybe not, but at least we can help people drink better.

Dear Ben,
My name is Alan and I am emailing you on the behalf of Anuva Wines. We are a US company based in Buenos Aires, Argentina and we are particularly interested on your blog as it is clear that you have a keen interest in South American wines! We provide wine tastings here in Argentina, offering our guests a selection of boutique wines that are all in limited production each year. We are always looking to branch-out and if you would be interested, we could send you out a bottle of one of our boutique wines that you may wish to write about in your blog?
We can offer you a bottle of one of the following wines for you to review: the Hom sparkling, the Mairena Bonarda, and the Carinae Malbec. We can send you more information on the wines if you would like us to and all we ask in return is for you to add a link on your review to our website: http://www.anuvawines.com. If you enjoy the wine we send, then we can certainly send you out more bottles in the future.
Best wishes,
Alan Epstein
