"By following Natalie's reviews, I discovered that you don't have to pay a lot of money for a great wine. My favourites from her reviews have all been under $15."
"I believe that you get what you pay for: sure you can find tasting notes on the web for free, but they're usually not written by a professional writer like Natalie or else they're from someone who wants to sell you the wine, like a winery or a liquor store."
"Natalie recommends wines that are easy to find and she recommends lots of wines, so there's always plenty of choice."
"I especially like her "good value" reviews that have lots of great chardonnays and shirazes at around $12 to $15. Plus, she often reviews wines from B.C., Oregon, Washington and other smaller regions in these reviews."
"She has encouraged me to try wines I would have never pulled off the liquor store shelf."
"Before I found her reviews, every fourth or fifth bottle I bought was disappointing ... a few were just awful. Not a good hit rate. But Natalie has never let me down."
"I love her tasting notes (good sense of humour and I can actually understand what the wine might taste like)! The searchable database is also handy for when I'm trying to find a wine for a particular dish or at a certain price point or score. Really handy."
"Natalie takes the stress out of wine shopping for me. No more looking at the label and wondering "Is this a good wine?" I also use her picks to choose wine as gifts or to take to friends for dinner."
"These reviews help me figure out where the undiscovered great wines are that aren't overpriced yet. Natalie has turned me on to Argentina malbec, South Africa shiraz and big reds from Portugal."
"Availability of her wines isn't an issue. That's important when you don't live in a big city.
"Although Natalie recommends lots of cheaper wines, she also reviews terrific wines at the high end and tells me when I can pull them out of my cellar to drink them."
