Wine is more than just a beverage. It’s a story, a journey, and a reflection of the people and places that craft it. It connects us, fuels our curiosity, and invites us to explore the world through our senses. That’s why I created AnthonyMueller.com—a place where wine lovers, from the seasoned collector to the casually curious, can come together to learn, discover, and celebrate the wines of today and the vintages of tomorrow.
A Website for Wine Lovers, Built by a Wine Lover
For decades, I’ve immersed myself in the world of wine—tasting, reviewing, and understanding the regions, winemakers, and traditions that shape each bottle. Through my time as a professional wine critic and classically trained taster, one thing became clear: wine is meant to be shared.
AnthonyMueller.com is my way of bringing that philosophy to life. Here, you’ll find up-to-date wine reports, reviews, and insights designed to not only help you discover your next favorite bottle but also to deepen your understanding of what makes each wine special. This isn’t about numbers and tasting notes alone—it’s about the stories, the regions, and the passion behind every glass. And it won’t stop there. Food and wine are intrinsically intertwined. My love for cooking and the culinary arts is deep, and there will inherently be some food spotlights from time to time.
Where I’m Starting & Where We’re Going
As a Napa Valley local, I’ve spent years experiencing firsthand the resilience, creativity, and evolution of California’s wine country. From the sun-soaked vineyards of Napa and Sonoma to the boutique producers pushing the boundaries in the Central Coast, California will always be a major focus of my work.
But great wine isn’t limited to one region, and my love for discovery goes beyond state lines.
- Washington State – A state that continues to impress me with its diversity, balance, and bold expressions. This is a place of true innovation, and I have a deep appreciation for its people and wines. With that said, for as long as I own, operate and run AnthonyMueller.com, I will forever be the reviewer of Washington wines. Did you hear me, Washington?!? I am not going anywhere!
- South Africa – A country whose wines have touched my soul and severely deserve a much bigger spotlight. South African wines are dynamic, deeply rooted in history, and bursting with character. I’ve long admired the Rainbow Nation’s wine culture, and I’ll continue to explore why Americans should drink more of its remarkable wines.
- Oregon – Home to unique regions that continue to excite and entice with its world-class Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and sparkling wines. From the Willamette Valley to the Rogue Valley, Oregon’s winemakers are pushing boundaries, crafting wines with purity, elegance, and a true sense of place. And let’s not forget the crazy delicious Rhone and Bordeaux varietals from Northeastern Oregon wine country.
And that’s just the beginning. Wine is an evolving story, and so is AnthonyMueller.com. Over time, I’ll be adding even more wine regions to our coverage:
- Australia – Home to some of the world’s most powerful yet refined wines, from Barossa to Margaret River.
- Spain – A country steeped in winemaking tradition, where Sherry, Rioja, and the bold reds of Priorat shine.
- Canada – Ice wine may have put it on the map, but Canada is producing some of the most exciting cool-climate wines today.
- Parts of Mexico – A hidden gem in the wine world, particularly in Baja California, where the wines are vibrant, expressive, and worthy of global attention.
- Eastern Europe – From the volcanic wines of Hungary to the ancient winemaking traditions of Georgia, this region has some of the most fascinating, underappreciated wines on the planet.
A Community, Not Just a Website
This isn’t just a site for reviews—it’s a place to connect, to learn about wine in an approachable way, and to engage in conversations that make wine more exciting and less intimidating. Whether you’re a winemaker looking for honest feedback, a wine lover searching for new regions to explore, or someone who just wants to better understand the wine in their glass, AnthonyMueller.com is for you.
I believe wine should be accessible, transparent, and fun. That’s why all reviews and reports are free to read. Yes, I’ll repeat that again. All of this website is free to read. Wineries can submit wines without cost, and anyone can follow along as I explore the wine world. The only charge? If a winery wants to use my reviews and scores in their marketing, there’s a small fee. Otherwise, this site is here for you—to learn, enjoy, and celebrate wine.
