Haha! Good buckets to have.

Decanted a 2018 EDITORIAL for 5 hours and drinking it now and it's...very good. I only bought 3 will decide later tonight if I add another 6. Look, I know nothing, but this is REALLY good. Bought another case. So far only the OFF THE CUFF have I not cared for out of the recent WineAccess private la...

Good to hear. Are you going to replace Amanda doing videos moving forward

16% alcohol makes this a lot less tempting to me.

I was all in until I saw the 16%. I enjoy an occasional fruit bomb by but my lord.

Any people with WA subscriptions have a sense of where this is from?

If I start buying Rose and we start drinking at 11AM this household is in a lot of trouble.

A snail postcard yielded this WineAccess code.

Enjoy $30 off your first purchase of $100 by visiting wineaccess.com/enjoy30
Thanks for sharing Dan. Looks like this works for all accounts, not just first time purchases.

Yup - works for me, too.

Finally received the Antica Cab a few days ago and popped it along with a Stay Home for the side by side comparison. For those that don't know, the overwhelming suspicion is that the Stay Home is sourced from Antica, the same wine which ultimately found its way into the 2016 Antica Cab. I popped th...

FALL50 is $50 off $250

Not sure if folks noticed, but RMN is showing Cash Back again for Wine.com purchases (it disappeared for a while). Unfortunately it's only 1% right now, but here's hoping we get back to the days of 10%+ CB!
I read this too quickly as FAIL50

John, I don't mean this as argumentative as it sounds, but just because someone who answers a customer service line says something doesn't make it true. As an example, the guys answering the phones at Premier Cru weren't very accurate with their feedback. Given how it appears these guys run the bus...

For those wanting to ship, I received 1/4 shipments today, and just received notice that the remaining 3/4 will arrive tomorrow. On my last chat with Customer Service I asked if they could elevate the request to ship immediately to a manager which they seemed to do. Said if I didn't have tracking fo...

Just received a Wine.com code via snail mail, $300 off $200 w FALLWINE. Expires 10/31.

Not great but there it is.
Assuming you mean to type $30 off of $200; otherwise, that would be one HECK of a coupon.

Haha - yes! Corrected

2018 Editorial sounds like Farella Vineyard. Farella's current Cabernet release is $65, so not sure this qualifies as "another hair-raising-deal." Quite possible that these are grapes that did not make the cut, so $40 is about right. Was debating trying this out. Did anyone try the 2016 Editorial, ...

It looks to be a pretty strong vintage with good ripeness and fleshy wines. Here's one to start the ball rolling. 2018 Forey Pere et Fils Vosne-Romanee Lovely dark cherry and raspberry fruit, with whiffs of violets and some subtle spice. Texture is great, nicely ripe tannins, make the palate silky ...

This is 3rd review. 2nd was YESTERDAY and I'm drinking it now and it's fantastic and has glowing reviews on CT. I never got the 1st but also is well reviewed.

I'd love for that to be true, but would Dehlinger really give up 1000 cases?

I never find cola notes in Dehlinger, thankfully, which is in the descriptor. What about William Selyem or however you spell it. Said pioneer....

I ordered a bunch of cans of white (72 cans in total) from Last Bottle last week from one of their recent offerings. They apparently decided to ship them in normal wine cases, with each can in its own bottle hole. As a result, I had 6 large cases of wine (that happened to be abnormally light) dropp...

Just curious, does anyone have the OPPOSITE issue regarding delivery? I have a couple orders that were supposed to ship yesterday and arrive today and only 1 did.

Got 11 bottles of Ogier Cote Du Rhone and 1 bottle of '06 Beaucastel for $217 after $50 new site offer and $100 credit from Amex. Screaming deal!

The Ogier is great. Opened one about a week ago.

Well, 30 min into YESTERDAY and I'm already finished my first glass. I decanted for 6 hours. Fantastic.

Awesome to hear!

My case arrived today, but just barely. My previous 4 shipments have all been in sturdy styroshippers, but for this one, they decided to use a very thin-grade recycled cardboard shipper that was completely disfigured and basically broken down within the box. I am honestly shocked my wines arrived i...

If you have a $100/250 promo, score a 168 Krug for $100 and 6 Matrot Bourg Blanc for WS Pro low of $20. What a world. Haven’t seen one of those in a while I can't even call how I got that, but this one is valid for anyone who hasn't used it, it's $50/200 which was their site redesign promo: http://...

Having a concept album tonight and I agree with what’s already been said, great wine!

Agreed! If you enjoy it try Stay Home, it needs more air and a touch of heat on the finish if you don't decant it but for $20 can't beat it.

Nope, bite and let us know how it is.

I will again add the massive caveat that my palate is different from everyone else's and I don't want to overhype this wine. I certainly enjoyed the initiate taste, but who is to say I won't hate it later tonight or tomorrow? You don't need to give a caveat for a wine that's already sold out and no...

I'm so mad its sold out!! I got it today. It's incredible, I really really wish I had bought more. No joke? This is a real post? Oh man. And you have a refined palate. I'm not kidding!

YESTERDAY has sold out, lol. Friend got it today. I get mine next week. Just decanted a STAY HOME and looking forward to it today.

Curious to see what you think!

Tried the Stay Home 2016 tonight. My favorite of the three WineAccess private labels I have tried so far. Needs a decant, but really tasty. Going to order a few more of the Stay Home, a few of the Concept Album (want to try this one), and hopefully when I get my Yesterday (if its good), a few more ...

I'll be curious to see if the referral for first time purchasers reverts back to the $50/150 vs the $30/150 they're offering now. I believe it said $30/150 through August 31, so curious on Sept 1 if we see a change. On my site (when logged in) it says refer friend and both get $50 off first purchas...

People talking about the AMEX $50 off Wine Access offer who don't have it available. The Points Guy published an article this morning that said AMEX only makes available to you 100 offers at a time. If you add them to your card, even if you don't use them, more offers will appear. Just FYI for thos...

That's very encouraging, considering I like Cosmologist! We opened another Cosmo today and got big time mulled cherry notes with lots of baking spices. I've never been a fan of that flavor profile, that one you prefer? I mean this with complete sincerity: I don't know about anything about wine. I h...

I've bought a ton of crappy wine in my life. I won't be devastated if Yesterday isn't that great. I just wish I could understand why it is taking so long to sell out. Maybe these off label wines just don't sell above $30ish. Hence why DeNegoce sells at $18 despite the fact that they sell everything...

Anyone having theirs shipped soon? Mine has to wait until late October as it is just too damn hot. Curious to see a note or two before it sells out. Mine is being shipped for delivery this Saturday, so should have some notes for you soon. Just buy it for a future delivery date and you can always ca...

Appreciate the tip on the Ridge at Wine Access. Geyserville was gone, but they had 2017 Lytton Springs which I prefer. Wine Access sent me a $100 off $250 new-customer code this weekend, which I was not sure if I was going to use. But I did... I stacked that coupon with the Amex offer to pick up th...

She posted a youtube comment: "Excellent!! Each “private label” wine access does will vary as far as whether they’re getting the grapes or the actual juice.
