Support

Here at Iowa Decanted we have decided to try something a little different: presenting content in a clean, uncluttered way that is comfortable to read and easy to enjoy. We want your experience with Iowa Decanted to be ad-free, distraction free, and available in its entirety with no subscription costs or frustrating paywalls. More signal, less noise.

And call us romantics, but we believe our readers are more important than ad space. With this in mind, we began to formulate ideas that could not only help support the work we want to do here at Iowa Decanted, but also build and sustain a vibrant community that is deeply rooted in the culture and love of wine in Iowa.

We want to build a support structure for Iowa Decanted that is simple, refreshing, and honest; a space for exploration where everyone from industry veterans to wine enthusiasts can be celebrated equally, intertwining us all in an interesting and meaningful way.

So what will this look like? Our support page will display ribbons of gratitude for each contribution made to Iowa Decanted, but while the ribbons will be uniform in size and design, the color of the ribbon will reflect your level of contribution and they will contain a link of your choice.  Ribbons will be displayed with the most recent sponsor placed at the top of the list, and each listing will include a short bio in order to let our readers know just who you are.

We Appreciate Your Support
