Home page is http://www.everyvine.com/. I’ve called the phone number listed in the contact us menu twice and haven’t heard back. It seems a bit ‘guerilla’ in that I wasn’t consulted about my listing. If my vineyard listing is any indication, their site is absolutely chock full of errors. I’d just like to chat with these folks to see if I should play ball with them. I could just ignore them, after all one can go to my website or email me. Under the references section they don’t indicate where they obtained all of the erroneous info, just that it is usually publicly available. This makes me wonder where else I should be looking. Good l*ord, should I be expected to be running around putting out fires just because we’re all (potentially) publishers now? Just remember this is the internet folks: pretty though it may be, garbage in = garbage out.
Everyvine is an outgrowth of the old Winemap app that the Sonoma County Winegrape Commission, well…commissioned DobleThomas to build for them. DobleThomas is the land surveying company in Santa Rosa. Jordan Thomas, the son of the firm’s president, developed Everyvine. The last contact info I have for him is jordan@everyvine.com and 505-552-2264.
I met him last year and talked to him about it some. If you register, you can update your own info, like vineyard outline, grapes/clones/etc, winery profile, etc. Take out the garbage, so to speak. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the info on this, Bryan and Nick. I’ve checked out everyvine.com before and it looked like a really handy vineyard reference site, but I’d assumed that the info that was entered for each vineyard came directly from the people involved in that vineyard. So thanks for letting us know that’s not always the case, Nick. I will be more wary when looking at this site in the future, although it certainly has the potential for being a very valuable reference if the erroneous info is corrected there.
