Wineaccess.com

I can tell you that it is somewhat expensive to have your wines listed on their site. So if a retailer is paying that price, one would assume they are at least somewhat established. A retailer can list for free on wine-searcher, but can pay to have their wines given preferential standing. This would explain why wine-searcher turns up more total results.

There is another option as well:

Mark, I'm pretty sure that winesearcher gives you every hit you get from wineaccess. Wineaccess just gives you the wines (plus Tanzer scores, and some "consumer" ratings) from their members. But part of wineaccess's service to their stores is linking with winesearcher.

PS of course, 42 hits on wineaccess probably equals 39 branches of Total Wine, plus 3 independents.

LOL!! That's pretty close, Dale. Thanks for the info.

Aha. Thanks, Emily.

For instance, when putting 2002 Ridge Geyserville ] into both engines, I get 42 hits in wineaccess and 148 in wine-searcher ] (of which 42 are made available without the Pro version). The ] wineaccess search engine also tells me which retailers will ship to my ] location (not a small thing when you live in Indiana). ] ] Anyone had any dealings with them? ]

Hi Mark,

I've dealt with them a couple of times. I was able to find a few obscure things through them, like Roger Perrin, when in SF.

Never had a problem.

Dale here is a tip...you only get lots of Total wine hits of you put in mass produced wine.

Look at twomey 2001 and see what comes up.

Errrr, 70 hits. None Total, but not exactly exclusive (and not something I'd search for sans prompting. WAYYYY to oaky for me).

cheers!

Oops, that was Winesearcher. Just 10 hits on wineaccess.
