If you could only keep 3 online retailers...

I don’t use Envoyer’s website, but I find their email ordering system to be very easy. Agree their website is awful.

SP is super easy, and I love how I can view all whites on one page, and all reds on one page, and they’re sorted by region, and then alphabetical within.

And do you really find K&L’s website difficult to use?!?

to be fair, I only find K&Ls website difficult to use in order to get wine HERE, because they don’t ship to SC.

but no their website is very easy to navigate. and i agree about the other two as well. its funny because Envoyers emails are great and the website is terrible, but for SommPicks I find the opposite to be true: the website isnt bad but the emails are like a treasure hunt.

the main problem I find with JJBuckley’s site is I hate how it loads the wines 15 at a time. and then when you want to see details on one and go back again, you have to start all the way over. it is not really conducive to browsing

I’m from New York. My local home wine shops are Zachy’s (5 miles to the shop, 3.5 miles to the warehouse for pick up) and Grapes (Posner 4.5 miles). My local office wine shop is Crush (5 blocks) . Why would I deal with an on line retailer? On line is for winery allocations.

I totally get that. half the shops I order from are in your area. I wouldn’t pay for shipping either if I had that kind of selection within (easy) driving or walking distance.

But you didn’t have to pay tax either… that will soon change.

You nailed my problem with Buckley’s website. I am rarely seeking a particular wine when I’m online shopping; rather, I’m browsing. I don’t get SP’s emails … hmmmmmmmm…

he only sends them once per quarter i believe. entire inventory list at a time in PDF or excel format. its awesome if you just wanna do a quick search because you’re looking for something in particular, but its impossible to browse because theres just too much coming at you at once.

Same as Matt’s:
Envoyer
Chambers
JJB (Geoff)
Used to be K&L but shipping got complicated (w/Chambers, too, now I only pick up in NYC) WHWC Woodland Hills also a good one from time to time.
