Food & Wine's 10 Best Online Retailers List

I agree with about 2/10

Brown Derby and Bounty Hunter I bet.

nope, KL and chambers

Agreed on those 2. Quite a few omissions that surprise me like Crush and WineLibrary - Garagiste may be worth a mention as well.

And winecommune? [snort.gif]

(totally off topic, but didn’t want to start a thread) - does anyone remember the name of the store someone posted here that supposedly has the biggest selection in Mass? I tried to search, but didn’t find it

Marty’s

I’ve had great service from Avalon and their OR selection is second to none. I found them to be passionate about what they sell and good not only to deal with but to actually discuss the wines with prior to purchase. The only thing that keeps me from ordering from them more often is that they are in OR and the shipping is fairly prohibitive.

Chambers I have recently had great experience with, and KL in the past. Brown Derby is a good store, but their site is terrible (unless they have improved, I haven’t checked in a while).

Winecommune is what it is, and I can see them deserving the mention.

Its a good list, but like most lists its open for debate and devised to sell magazines.

20/20…really?

I’m with Chambers and K&L.

Thank you!

And missing PC, WE and T&V. [oops.gif]

The Wine Exchange in Tustin should easily be on the list -

And I agree with K & L and Avalon Wines (one of my favorite sites - great Oregon retailer) -

Here are mt top 3 in order…

General Sites…

  1. Cellar Tracker - what a surprise how great it is. I’m a classic “late adaptor”
  2. wine-searcher must have sourcing site
  3. Tanzer - great all round site and trusted palate for me

My top ONLINE retailers

  1. Woodland Hills
  2. K&L
  3. Envoyer

Love this quote about 20/20: “The site contains lists of 99- and 100-point wines for those buying bottles to fill out their collections.”

I’ve got plenty of wines in the 0-98 point range, what I really need is some 99 & 100 pointers to “fill out my collection.” I had no idea how to rectify that before now!

My favorites are Envoyer, Chambers, Rare Wine Co & Crush…

Can you imagine calling the guys/gals at Chambers & telling that you need to fill out your collection w/ some 99 & 100 pointers & asking them for suggestions? [wow.gif]

This list is about as accurate as any “Best Doctor” article in any of the city magazines. [rofl.gif]

Vinfolio? Seriously??? [scratch.gif]
