I taste thousands of wines a year to find that great price point where the quality outshines. Imagine paying everyday drinking wine prices for high-end wine. That is my passion.

For $6.22/bottle, Sam's Club bought the entire Lot. You can buy it even if you don't have a Sam's card. Go to membership services and you can buy only alcohol at Sam's...

I love S.A. blends, this cab/shiraz opened up VERY nicely the 2nd day. It was very smooth. Big fruit, cherry aromas, anise, spicey. Medium finish, soft tannins. Great sipping wine as well with...

I agree with the last review. I had a glass' worth left the next day. It is better the 2nd day. Enjoy this wine in the next 2-5 years. The quality and tannins are there for aging. It is a...

Better grab this one while you can. For $17.99 at Costco, this Stag Leap District Cab is phenomenal for the price. Full bodied and ready to drink even though it is 2006, perfect tannins, long...

Dear the wineattic,

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
The University of Surrey

This is probably one of the best authentic Gewurz you will come across. Not too sweet. If you see this label, buy it. Good value for the quality.

On Apr 16

Victor Hugo makes amazing Zins too. This is a small boutique winery in Paso Robles. Not much PR coming out of this winery because the wine speaks for itself.
