Retailer check: Mad Wild Wine

Hi there- anyone ever ordered from https://www.madwildwine.com/?

They have some good stuff, prices seem fair, but also seem new and can’t find much info/reviews on them.

Thanks everyone, hope you all are well.

Yes, there are also a couple of bottles that have shown up for me but I’ve never heard of this outfit and am reluctant to purchase.

I took a gamble, placed a small order, we will see how it goes.

FWIW, when I filled out their contact form, the founder wrote me back very quickly with quite a bit more detail than is initially available on their site.

Please report back! Out of curiosity and if you don’t mind sharing, what did you grab? Thanks.

FWIW, Steve Wildy was very highly regarded in the Philly restaurant community. Sarah K may know him.

Ah! Thanks, Kevin. Yes, Steve is a class act and very knowledgeable. We have bought a few choice bottles from him, but Jonathan handled the transactions so I didn’t make the connection between his name and the name of the business, which I hadn’t heard of before this thread. I would say buy with confidence!

Thanks Sarah- that’s really good to know.

'86 Magdelaine. Might be well past peak, but the price was very fair, and I might never find another.

Ha! That wasn’t a bottle I was looking at, but I may have grabbed it to fill out a 6-pack or case. Good grab.

Sarah, thanks for the vote of confidence, that helps.

It sort of feels like I am looking through someone’s cellartracker inventory on that site. Wanting the DRC mixed case Nathan? :slightly_smiling_face:

Ha! I left academia, but I’m still just a researcher at a non-profit…

Update: Bottle arrived, looks great. Was shipped very fast. And Steve seems like a really solid guy.
