"The writing is witty and fun, and in some cases fairly substantial, delivered by a dedicated blogger who is at it on nearly a daily basis. If you want to read a darn good wine-related blog or have an interest in hiking along with wine, you do want to check out Winehiker Witiculture."
— Tom Wark, Fermentation

It's rare enough to find a connoisseur of wine who also is a connoisseur of hiking and outdoor recreation, and even rarer yet to find such a person who is a dedicated blogger ... all of which make this blog a rare find indeed.
— Tom Mangan, Two-Heel Drive

"Seeking a weekend partner-friendly activity that will build desperately needed "spousal points"? Visit the Winehiker's website and blog - a site devoted to hikes which inevitably end with good food and wine. (Chicks dig that stuff. Guys do too)."
— Tom Chandler, Trout Underground
