Get ready for some fun!

Gary has gladly accepted the challenge! It's going to be a blow out spectacular filled with intense excitement and most importantly, tons of great wine. Together we are going to make history. Together we will prove once and for all that accepting free wine samples does not alter the honesty/integrity of wine reviews. Together we will face the... Whore-Off Challenge!!!

With Hollywood production company 'Adventurer Entertainment' stepping up to produce the event, there are only a few minor details left to figure out:

• Have a watering hole or home away from home that would be conducive to a large group of wine lovers? Willing to let us pack it for a few hours while we make history? I'm looking for you!
• No Whore-Off is complete without a gracious host to mediate the match. Willing to showcase your skills while helping a great cause? I'm looking for you!
• Want to have your business, product, or name included in the event? Want to be a part of history? I'm looking for you!

Email me (thewinewhore@winewhoreblog.com) if you meet any of these criteria or know someone/somewhere that does.

Until then...I'll see you at the Whore-Off!!!

Are you in?

Wine Whore News:



Thanks to all of your support, 'The Wine Whore' is a member of the century club: 100 bottles of wine received for review over the last three months. Make sure to pass on news of this awesome press about my 'cause':

During tough economic times, one website has the solution. In exchange for free wine samples, Randy Watson provides publicity for wineries and entertainment for wine drinkers. 100 bottles of free wine later, the site is getting massive attention.


Tampa, FL, April 11, 2009 --(PR.com)— When Randy Watson embarked on his creative wine venture, he never dreamed it would be possible to have too many bottles waiting for him to drink. Only three months after the release of his wine website “The Wine Whore” (www.winewhoreblog.com) he has received over 100 bottles of wine from 30 different wineries. “I never dreamed it would be this big” he says as he accepts delivery of another shipment, the eighth one in only five days.

Why are wineries voluntarily sending him free bottles of wine? In exchange for free bottles, his website features reviews of the wines he receives. This trade provides ultra-cheap publicity for wineries, retailers, and distributors, while also being informative and entertaining for other wine drinkers. This site is creating quite a buzz. Multitudes of wineries, wine lovers, and spectators are joining him in the ‘cause’.

Aside from the free wine, “The Wine Whore” is attempting to change the way people view websites dedicated to wine and marketing in general. The idea for the site was sparked as Randy became discouraged with his boring corporate job. After being passed over for a promotion, losing 401k benefits, and just being sick of the nine to five grind, he decided to channel his creative energy into something he really enjoys, drinking wine. Sick of the monotony, Randy just “wants to change the way people see the world.”

He promises to create fun and honest tasting experiences allowing others to gain a down to earth understanding of what to expect if they were to try it themselves. In addition to reading about Randy’s journey for free wine, the site also includes interesting articles on wineries, fun facts, wise wines of the week, and wine news. Randy believes that just “so many wine reviews are the same… pretentious blabbering of black currant, cherry, vanilla, and leather. The repetition equates to spinning a wheel of smells rather than a description of how the wine really tastes.” Instead, this website sets out not just to focus on the wine, but on how wine changes the perception of life and living things.
