**** BD14 EXTENDED ****
Hello all! Thanks for a super busy and awesome Berserker Day! Can’t wait to get these wines into your hands. We’re leaving up the offers and the discount (BDAY14) through the weekend. Remember, if you’ve ordered a sampler your whole order gets free shipping, so feel free to add anything (chose “build a case” at checkout) that will ride along for free with the rest of the order!
Cheers! Starting the countdown to BD15!
ABOUT ANSONIA
Ansonia Wines is Mark and Tom Wilcox, father and son wine merchants. We import and sell small batch French wines from winemakers we know. We’re based outside Boston, but ship to most places in the US.
“For wine consumers who love history and storytelling, Ansonia Wines delivers.” – Forbes.com
BURGUNDY SPECIALISTS
We work with winemakers around France, but Burgundy is the focus and majority of our portfolio. We stock around 200 Burgundies, most of which are $25-$150, with vintages back to 2005.
Outside Burgundy, we offer wines from the Rhône Valleys, Bordeaux, Loire Valley, Champagne, Alsace, and more.
Scroll down past the offer for a list of producers.
BD14 OFFERS
Our high expectations for our first BD last year were shattered, so we hope you’ll enjoy the list we’ve put together this year! We’re offering seven exclusive BD14 samplers, a special auction item and a sitewide discount. All samplers ship for free (except NH, UT, HI, AK), and all website orders ship for free (12+ bottles east of Chicago, 24+ west of Chicago).
