“Your reporting has turned us on to some great producers and the value of Candid’s subscription far outweighs the cost.

Damien Casten, Candid Wines of Illinois (purple pager since 2004)

"Jancis offers authoritative, impartial, un-stuffy, a-pleasure-to-read editorial content which is also frequently amusing, and has an enjoyable 'insider' feel."
Reg Ward, Spain (purple pager since 2002)

"The quality and clarity of analysis is what makes the site.  As well the simplicity of its navigational mechanics and its even-handed commercial independence."
Tim Hall, UK (purple pager since 2004) 

“Astonishingly, yours seems to be a salon in which the world behaves itself.  You trust that you will get civility and responsibility, and you do. Wow.”

Howard G Goldberg, a wine writer at The New York Times on our members’ forum (member since 2005)

"I really like the zest and clarity which which JR expresses herself."
James Turner, UK (member since 2002)

"I particularly enjoy 'purple prose' [now 'don't quote me'] and 'your turn' [now 'members' forum'] with its global view and extraordinary variety of discussion. From Chinese wine to caterpillars and Vega Sicilia verticals and airport wine tastings, all in a matter of weeks!"
Marcus Ford, China (member since 2002)

"The site has comprehensive tasting reviews that are highly informative and present a British perspective as a counter to the pervading American view point."
Nick Greenhill, New Zealand (member since 2002)

"There is a vast amount of terrific information provided in a wonderful format. I love the fact that the site is TOTALLY independent."
Sandy Hollander, USA (member since 2002)

"The articles have a personal and relaxed feeling. I'm learning without feeling I'm reading a textbook."
Martin Nettleton, UK (member since 2002)  

"No one can beat Jancis Robinson at her game: authoritative without priggishness; opinionated as all wine writers are, yet exuding wit."
Morry Jaffe, USA

"Damn it, I've tried to hack into those purple pages time out of mind trying to settle arguments about vintages ... it's a wonderful net presence you have – really well done."
Stephen Fry UK (actor)
