Winepointer is a newsletter distributed in advance of each Vintages release. It reviews wines in the release, wines in future releases, new wines/vintages in Vintages Essentials and General List, wines from Ontario wineries, and wines available for private purchase. The reviews are distinctive, critical, and to the point.

People can subscribe (free) on Rod’s new Web site www.rodphillipsonwine.com, where he sets out his method of reviewing and rating.
