BD13 COMPLETE!
To the Berserker family – UN GRAND MERCI! We at Ansonia had high expectation for our first Berserker Day, and they were completely shattered. We’re so pleased so many of you picked up our trios, and we can’t wait to hear how you enjoy them.
We’re calling it a day on the trios, but we’re extending the sitewide discount for the weekend (through 11:59pm EST Sunday 1/30). Use BD13 for 10% off anything on the site (samplers, pre-orders, & glassware excluded). Scroll down for highlights from our portfolio.
Many thanks again for all your support, we can’t wait for BD14 in 2023!
Cheers,
Tom
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-$100, with vintages back to 2005.
Outside Burgundy, we offer wines from the Rhône Valleys, Bordeaux, Loire Valley, Champagne, Alsace, and more.
