ROBERT WHITLEY's weekly "Wine Talk" column is syndicated nationally by Creators Syndicate. Robert also contributes monthly to the Reuters "Vine Talk" column, and is Publisher of Wine Review Online, an online wine publication that draws upon the expertise and writing brilliance of many of the top wine and food journalists in the United States.

Robert also oversees five major international wine competitions – the innovative Critics Challenge, the Winemaker Challenge, the Sommelier Challenge, the San Diego International Wine Competition and the Monterey Wine Competition – as well as numerous wine tasting events, including San Diego's annual Wine & Roses Charity Wine Tasting.

Robert does two weekly radio shows – Whitley On Wine and The Gourmet Club  – that can be heard on the WEB or podcast at SignOnSanDiego.com.

The Whitley on Wine website is your link to Robert’s wine reviews and ratings, as well as the hundreds of reviews, ratings and insightful comments on all things vinous by Robert and his colleagues at Wine Review Online. Also included are many of the highlights from Robert’s syndicated wine columns and his frequent Blog spots for WRO.

Using the Reviews link, you will be able to search the thousands of wine reviews and ratings posted in the Wine Review Online archive, a valuable tool for wine enthusiasts who’ve purchased wines with the intent to cellar them until maturity.

The wine competition links will allow you to look up medal-winning wines from three major wine competitions, and view the excerpted tasting notes of the judges from the Critics Challenge.

Our radio links will be your window to the world of fine wine and food, with winemaker interviews, conversations with great chefs, cooking tips and fantastic recipes. Both radio shows and Wine Review Online are refreshed with new content each week, so you are invited to return as often as you like, for you’ll always find something new and interesting on the two subjects Robert loves to talk about most – great wine and food.

And we welcome your feedback!
