Just sort of a PSA for my ITB friends.
After posting a question on FB regarding an experience I had in sending my wines to Leslie Hartley-Sbrocco and still 18 months later never getting a reply to any of my repeated questions to her if she had ever tried the wines I sent. I then asked the question to my ITB friends what their take is. I found through that thread on FB that Leslie did not have the greatest track record in the, disclosure / non-disclosure / being paid to represent the wines she is reviewing, and etc. Had I known of that thread 18 months ago And so it begins - Leslie Sbrocco and collateral damage online - WINE TALK - WineBerserkers , I never would have sent her my wines (at her request) free of charge, paid the shipping and handling etc. In short, I could have, would have used my money for a more beneficial cause.
So maybe we can use this as an ongoing open thread for others who may have experienced someone else in the tasting realm that really isn’t worth sending their wines to for review.
Anyone else?
