FINE WINE MERCHANTS
WINE.COM
Wine.com has been the #1 online wine store since 1998. Their mission is to make it fun, easy and risk-free for you to discover great new wines from all over the world, whether shopping for yourself or sending a gift. Their sommeliers scour the globe to be able to present you with thousands of the highest quality wines representing all varietals and regions. A list they are particularly proud of is the “90+ point rated wines for under $20.” This brings you the highest rated wines (according to independent wine critics such as Wine Spectator and Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate) at affordable prices. Their customers appreciate this feature, which can be sorted by popularity based on our sales over the last 30 days, or by price, region or varietal. And for the real connoisseurs out there, see their list of 94+ point rated wines which can make impressive gifts or additions to your cellar.
MORRELL WINE & SPIRITS
The Morrell family always says that as merchants they have to "put our money where our mouth is" – They have to buy the wine and sell the wine, and so they have to have confidence in their purchases and their own ability to judge. They also look at wines as value for money. They don't only compare an Italian Cabernet to other Italian Cabernets, or rate it only on it's own merits, they compare it to all Cabernets – if you can get a better cabernet from California for 20% less money, Morrell is likely to pass on the Italian cabernet. Of course, a great number of wines are highly rated from respected wine periodicals such as: Robert Parker's, The Wine Advocate, The Wine Spectator and Steve Tanzer's, The International Wine Cellar. But Morrell also find numerous wines that have never been reviewed, or that they feel deserve higher ratings, and they taste, evaluate, and purchase them with confidence, so that you can have confidence when you drink them. For 59 years their motto has been Taste You Can Trust!
MY WINES DIRECT
My Wines Direct began when they noticed wine wasn't fun anymore! With thousands of labels in stores, online and tasting rooms, choosing a wine had become confusing and intimidating. They were asking friends, buying the same thing, or drinking lots of not-so-good wines. They decided it was time to find a way to make enjoying good wine all the time easier. My Wines Direct will enhance your wine enjoyment with expertly chosen, consumer-approved wines from small undiscovered vineyards. They offer you a limited, carefully selected number of wines to eliminate confusion, provide you with outstanding wine values and make wine buying easy, reliable and convenient and give you the knowledge to experiment and the confidence to discover your own likes, dislikes and tastes. Most of all, they want buying, serving and drinking wine to be fun, easy and enjoyable. Cheers!
