The Wine Collection

We MUST fit the demographic that wine sellers target.

It all started so innocently with a mailing from Laithwaites Wine - their introductory offer of 15 bottles for $90, which included shipping and handling. Wow, that was $6/bottle! Being the cheapskate that I am, I ordered the 15 bottles.

They arrived right before Christmas. Note - the shippers can't simply leave the wine at your doorstep - an adult has to sign for it. Fortunately, I was home for the delivery.

It was fun opening up the box - 15 bottles of beautiful red wine!


Since our trip to Italy last year, I've been somewhat obsessed with Chianti wines and Italian wines in general. We received two bottles of Chianti in this shipment.

There was a rouge bottle of white in the shipment - a mistake - I called up the company and they shipped out the proper bottle, no questions asked. So customer service looks good.



And the wine? We've consumed 4 bottle so far, and each has been really good. We're storing the bottles in the basement and we joke that we now have a "wine cellar". Scott has researched some actual wine racks so we can store them properly. Can you say we're hooked?
