What do you do when you visit a region known for growing finicky Pinot Noir grapes? Well, we decided to go on a wine tour while we were in Hood River, Oregon.
But what do you do when there are so many wineries and limited time (as well as money)?
I decided to research the wineries using the Google Places application on my phone. I then narrowed down the wineries based on reviews.
There simply were too many wineries in the area so I had to use some criteria. I did not just look at the overall rating mind you. I took the time to read the reviews. I prefer to see what the reviewers had to say so I could determine if the review looked valid.
If a winery did not have a review, quite frankly I dismissed them because so many others did. I don't know if the wineries request reviews. None that we visited did so I assume the reviews were “volunteered.”
More and more people are seeking resources, products and services online. Don't dismiss the power of a review to lead someone to your door no matter your offering.
Oh, and by the way, we were not disappointed in any of the wineries we visited. I think the reviews served us well.
