Hello All! As many of you know, I have spent the past year putting together a wine import company in the U.S. The company will also have an internet retail shop,
15th buying guide of Wine Enthusiast Magazine and one wine will be included in the Top 100 Wines of the Year. Other of our wines have been included favorably in Food & Wine Magazines 2005 Wine Guide, already in bookstores. As we are the sole importer for almost every one of our wines, we are just about the only place to buy them. That being the case, I wanted to give the group here the opportunity to make reservations for these wines first. Quantities are limited, and I will honor the reservations on a first come first served basis. When the wines are ready to ship, I'll contact you with the total and if you are still interested, we'll go from there (meaning, the reservation is just a reservation. You don't need to hold it with payment.) Send an email listing the wines & quantities you are interested in to: snipped-for-privacy@winemonger.com I hope that this in interesting for some of you. I'll leave a post when the website has launched (it will be much more than just a retail shop), and after that I won't use this group to make offers. Best, Emily
