All tastings are blind, unless otherwise specified in the tasting notes.
For blind tasting, the wines are concealed in brown paper bags. Wines that are determined to have cork taint or those that receive a score of 1 star or below are immediately re-tasted. If a back bottle is not available, the wine is re-tasted at a later date. Any winery that believes a review incorrectly reflects the wine reviewed may submit another bottle for consideration. Until then, the existing score will stand.
