Ordering Online

Since national efforts to contain the Covid 19 virus are unlikely to let us return to our weekly wine tasting format for some time (sigh!), we are taking steps to develop a modest online shopping platform for our wine club members. As most of you know, we have always embraced our Duty as First Responders in Wine Emergencies, and take that responsibility Very Seriously! We all have to Stand for Something, and we choose to Take a Stand for Your Right to Wine by letting you order it from home!

Below is a partial list of wines currently in stock which we think offer a lot of quality per dollar. For your convenience, they are listed in ascending order by price with tasting notes  Some are relatively new on our shelves and some are longtime favorites.

To place an order, look through the list; make a note of the wines/quantities you want; and then you can use the Contact Us form to email your order, or you are welcome to call and order by phone (above, right).
