Wine Diva's Newest Feature - Shelf Talkers
Perfect for Agents and Retailers

Shelf Talkers are perfect for agents who need them quickly and don't have in house printing. Or for all you Retailers-private beer and wine stores in and outside of Vancouver who read Wine Diva religiously, carry the products I review and want to have your own "Pink & Cheeky" Wine Diva talkers.
You can print them in black and white or in colour. (Just remember to set you advanced printer settings and check off "colour").
There are four per page-all different-and they print out exactly as you see them on the page.
You can see all the available shelf talkers by clicking on the Shelf Talkers menu item on the left side of the site. If a wine review has a shelf talker, it a link will appear in the review. If you want to know how to get a shelf talker made for your wine contact me at daenna@winediva.ca

Keep rating those wines!

I love seeing those pink stars appearing on the wines I have reviewed.
Since you (the readers) are the ones tasting the wines, you should have your input too.

The average score will always appear and as soon as you score the wine the results are tallied!

Women Who Touch Wine...

Women touch wine in so many ways (we drink a lot of it too) from viticulture and winemaking to marketing and sales and never has it been so obvious as it is right now. Everywhere we turn these days we read about women around the world who are making great strides in the wine world.
Not because they have something to prove but because they love what they do.
These are some of the women (and their wines) who visited Vancouver this past February...
