Old Winery Buildings

June 11, 2009 – 9:16 am

FTC and Blogs

May 24, 2009 – 9:41 am

In a blog this week, Reign of Terroir discusses changes the FTC may put in effect this summer. The FTC is leaning towards requiring bloggers, who blog about wines and wineries, to clearly disclose if the wine was a gift from the winery. If a blogger writes about a visit to a winery, he or […]
