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, www.winemonger.com, which will be able to ship
wines to folks in 26 states. The website is due to launch around the
first of the year.
Some of our wines, however, have garnered some points/praise/reviews
which will be coming out before our site goes live: 26 in the December
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:
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
