THANK YOU FOR HELPING US TO MAKE APPELLATION AMERICA A BETTER RESOURCE FOR OUR READERS.

Dear Reader:

Appellation America is composed of a TEAM of 45+ passionate wine professionals who care deeply about the future of winegrowing in North America. It is our mission to describe, promote and generally raise awareness of each and every winegrowing appellation in the US and Canada. The whole team is devoted to providing you, our readers, with vast amounts of information and building the communication links between you and the thousands of winegrowers and producers who make for the diverse mosaic that is the strength of our continental wine culture.

However mission oriented we are, we wouldn't be doing our job properly if we weren't also listening closely to the needs and interests of our readers.

So, we have put together a short, 21-question survey whereby you can tell us some of the things that we'd like to know to get a closer profile of our readers' interests in order to serve you better.
