Why is Appellation America moving to a subscription format?
What we offer — including the only comprehensive one-stop information source on North American wineries, appellations and grape varietals, as well as feature articles and wine recommendations — requires considerable resources to produce and maintain. After careful consideration we believe that the best way to meet these costs is (in part) through the direct support of our tens of thousands of regular readers. Subscriber fees will also help to support our Best-of-Appellation (BOA) evaluation program. Lists of medal winning wines along with Tasting Notes will be exclusively available to subscribers, as will our evolving Blue Book of Appellation Taste Profiles. At five dollars a month, an Appellation America subscription is excellent value!
