There are currently four wine reviewers on mywinepal.com:
- Karl Kliparchuk
- Brent Gushowaty
- Yvonne Lorkin
- Anita Dorion
Karl Kliparchuk, the originator of mywinepal.com, covers wines from around the world, but has a significant number of reviews for BC as this is his home base.
Brent Gushowaty is a Vancouver based wine writer and reviewer. Pinot noir was always a special focus and while working in VQA retail, became intrigued by the quality of British Columbian pinot noir. In 2013, he launched bcpinotnoirinfo.com and embarked on his goal to taste every pinot noir produced in the province. Brent is currently writing book on B.C. pinot noir.
Yvonne Lorkin is from New Zealand and provides us with reviews about her area. She is the co-founder and CTO (Chief Tasting Officer) of WineFriend, the best personalised wine delivery service in New Zealand. Yvonne’s Twitter and Instagram handle is @yvonnemax.
Anita Dorion is originally from BC but has moved to Ontario. She is covering the Ontario wineries for mywinepal.com. She is known as @vinetranslator on Instagram.
I hope to add more wine reviewers from around the world to covering wines from where they live, so that they can give us a perspective that we would not normally get from tasting the wines ourselves at home.
