Any opinions on https://us.nakedwines.com/ ? I got a handful of vouchers for $100 packed in with other things I've ordered, but they all require you spend $160 to use (so $160 of wine for $60). I think I get the idea behind the site but no real idea if anything they carry is any good.

I usually don't keep wine around the house other than a few good wines for cooking with or the occasional meal that calls for a glass. I definitely enjoy wine, I frequent tastings and one of my go-to evenings out is just hanging out with my friend who manages a wine bar and tasting our way through their menu. I just never got in the habit of buying bottles.

idiotsavant posted:So here's the thing - when you see "SPARKLY GIRL CHARDONNAY HALF OFF!!!" it basically indicates the type of wine these guys are going to sell. The wine might not be "bad" in that it'll probably be unflawed, drinkable, and even enjoyable to a large section of the wine-drinking public. If that's you, go ahead and try it if you think you're getting your money's worth! These are good words and echo a lot of what my friend says. I guess I should start paying more attention to the importers/specific makers more than just looking at varietal and terroir.

Any recommendations for shops to visit in New Jersey? I like the idea of snooping around for '04 bottles of higher valued vineyards and getting to enjoy on the cheap(ish).

idiotsavant posted:gently caress yes, Joe Canal's in NJ. I'm not sure of the location but it's in a strip mall next to a big lots! and across from an office depot and the buyer is loving insane. She has baller single-grower champagne, Roija going back to like the 1800's or some poo poo, and a badass madeira section. Bunch of LDM portfolio stuff, it's sick. Uh. Was this south or north jersey? Turns out there's several Joe Canal's near big lots.

Can anyone speak to wine distribution in the US? I'm trying to put together a list of bottles to gather for Thanksgiving dinner, and now to filter down the list I figured I'd just stick to what I can buy locally. Turns out of the 11 prospective wines I had in mind none of them, including different vintages, are available. I get that there is a lot of wine out there, but literally 0/11? Guess I'm just going to be stuck standing in aisles trying to Google bottles that catch my eye.

Comb Your Beard posted:I live in the DC area. It's not uncommon for a bottle (any vintage) to be available no where in the entire city on wine searcher, with NYC being the closest place or even further afield. How did you arrive at that list anyway? Sounds very specific. I keep notes on stuff I've tasted/when/what I had it with. So I dug through things I've had in the past year that I enjoyed, were less than $40/btl, and paired with flavors/items I am planning to put on the table for Thanksgiving. E: the difficulty comes because I am shopping away from my usual shops/helpful employees so I'll just be trying to figure out where best to shop for wine between Tampa/Orlando/St. Pete Double E: I wasn't planning on buying 11 bottles (just 4)
