Philly Uncorked

So occasionally when I'm bored I'll check out one of these Philly Uncorked shorts from Philly.com. I figure every once in a while I might learn something, since Marnie Old is held in such high esteem in the area. Sometimes, however, it seems that she's stooping for something that she would seemingly never drink in a million years if it were on her own dime. Firefly ready-to-drink sweet tea vodka? Is she reviewing the Kahlua Mudslide mix next week?

My problem with this is because these shorts appear on Philly.com, one would think that they are independant reviews since they're found right along side the Craig LaBan reviews and Rick Nichols articles. So my question is, are these legit reviews or are they paid for by the PLCB? I realize that the PLCB has a short ad that precedes these clips, but are they also the ones who dictate what products are reviewed by Ms. Old? At least to me it seems like that would be the case.
