Just saw that Winecommune.com is closing down at the end of January. 16 years of active sales, and I purchased a bunch great wines from them at excellent tariffs that I have enjoyed during their run. Sunday closings on their company auctions were alot of entertainment over the years, and picking up at their facility eliminated shipping hassles. Sad to see them close up shop- hope that JJ Buckley offers up some comparable values, but not holding my breath.
Oh, I filled my cellar up way back in the day with great deals from their auctions when they started.
Oh those Wine Commune early days when folks still didn’t like burgundy

Dang. That’s awesome. I bought a ton of great stuff from their consignment program at nice prices. I miss that.
It will be greatly missed. Their demise came with JJ Buckley pulling their wines. Most of purchases were at fantastic prices.
their website has been a disaster for years and no one there seemed to care. Was the home of the first wine board I had joined. My first offline was attended by the original founders
Oh Lordy, where am I going to buy my 90’s Ojai reds?!
