Welcome to our Terms of Use page!
Super Exciting.
We must, of course, provide you with the dry and dense version. But first, here’s a few words straight from my own mouth:
I don’t like feeling icky using other websites, so my goal is to make you feel safe and secure when you’re reading NW Wine Traveler. We don’t sell your data. We don’t share your data except when noted below.
Anything that gets recommended on this site is a business, service, or experience that I honestly enjoyed and would recommend.
While that’s the case, I can’t guarantee your experience will be the same. We all have different tastes, and life can be inconsistent.
A huge amount of work goes into NW Wine Traveler, and one way I’m compensated for that time is through affiliate links. That means if you or other visitors make a purchase through these links, I may earn a percentage of that purchase.
Don’t steal my shit. I work really hard on this. If you want to share something, please ask permission.
