We started to appreciate wine from our first wine tour on Cayuga Lake when we was a seniors in college. Now we are always looking for something new and are constantly working to expand our palates, while on a tight budget.

Dear Icmusiclovers,

Hello!

This is Daniel Shin, studying in MSc Food Management at University of Surrey.
I am studying the consumer's wine buying behaviour online.
This research seeks the opinion of people who have had an experience purchasing wine either online or from other sources to investigate factors influencing customers’ wine purchasing behaviour in online shopping.
I have to find at least 100 people who have an experience of buying wine online.
If possible, could you send the questionnaire to members and ex-members?
It is linked to http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=jj73z5zbvz3kxvj610601
And if you cannot link to survey, please copy and paste the address on the web.
It just takes 1 min to answer the questionnaire.
I would be most grateful, if you could spare your time to send the questionnaire.
If you want to see research results, then I will send you after analysing the survey.
The research will contribute to a MSc dissertation in Food Management at the University of Surrey.
Any information provided will ONLY be used for research purposes.
All responses will be treated with the strictest confidence.
I am only in interested in obtaining consumers' views.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind Regards,

Daniel Shin

icmusiclovers reviewed Natale Verga Barbera d'Asti . Italy 2007. (4/5)
On Jun 25

Pours a nice deep red/purple with a rather vinous aroma. Blackberry is the first flavor to hit the tongue followed by a vinous character with a touch of earthiness. A very smooth barbera that...

icmusiclovers reviewed Chateau St. Jean Cabernet Sauvignon 2006. (4/5)
On Jun 24

A deep red/purple color. Aromas of dark fruits and spice. Taste has a bit of wood but is mostly of the dark fruit and herbal earthiness. Finish is short, but quite smooth. A nice, smooth drinking...

icmusiclovers reviewed Mandolin Pinot Noir Monterey 2007. (4.5/5)
On Jun 15

The color of this wine is a clear ruby red. On the nose there is hints of raspberry and dark cherry immediately followed by hints of spice and a strong sense of cedar to round out the flavor. An...

icmusiclovers reviewed Autumn Falls Dry Riesling 2006. (3/5)
On Jun 7

This wine pours a surprisingly dark color for a Riesling, being dark gold. The aroma is mostly of pears and ripe grapes. The taste is as the aroma with a hint of grass and citrus. Not a bad wine,...

This is one of the most drinkable cabs I have had to date. Tastes of plums and dark cherry combine with spice to form a smooth and powerful finish. The oak is there, but only adds another...

I understand and appreciate the whole science and reasoning behind aging wines in oak. I also really dig the idea and the tradition of it. Unfortunately, I really do not like the flavors that oak...

The Premier Wines Group in the Buffalo area. Huge selection of wines and spirits form all over the world as well as a wall of local wines. This place is as big as a grocery store!

I have a stable job and am getting by comfortably enough, but I really can't afford to spend more than 10 bucks on a bottle of wine. To amend that statement, I don't mind it every once...

Even as my pallet expands, I always come back to the local wines."
