Tom Wark is one of the OG wine bloggers and the wine industry’s favorite muckraker, a man who is not afraid to call out an industry that doesn’t always play fair or the forces he feels are working against the American wine consumer.
Tom speaks for us, the wine lovers and little guys, and he’s not afraid to push back against the big dogs or the accepted norms in the wine industry.
At the core of Tom’s work, both in media and public relations, and as a blogger, is his love of wine, vineyards, the growers, winemakers, and other fine people in an often imperfect industry.
In 2004 he launched the blog Fermentation. It immediately became a must read for both folks in the wine industry wine lovers, because everyone wants to know what Tom Wark thinks.
Now, Fermentation is a Substack newsletter, and there’s a free and a paid subscription you can sign up for. Be sure to read the comments!
We’re eager to find out what’s on Tom’s mind today, from declining wine sales to ominous new health warnings about wine, and his peek into the future of the industry.
