If you contact us, subscribe to our newsletter, or otherwise reach out, we collect the information you submit, such as your name, email address, and message.
Pairing finder requests
Text you type into our pairing finder (for example, “aged cheddar” or “grilled salmon”) is sent to a third party service provider to generate pairing suggestions. Please do not enter personal information into the tool. We do not use pairing requests to identify you.
