TastingRoom
A one-of-a-kind wine delivery service
It's always wise to sample the goods before making a commitment, unless you're making The Commitments, in which case there's no way you can handle all that soul! Helping you sow your oenophilic oats before settling down: TastingRoom.
Finally taking orders for NY, TR allows users to sample vinos before going full bottle by sending sampler packs to replicate the tastings done on site at their 30 prominent PacWest & Cali partner wineries, hopefully none of which are USC, because nobody wants a bottle of a chick that got an 1150 on her SAT. Loading six-pack kits with signature vintages from said vineyards along with tasting notes, each wine's decanted from its 750ml vessel into a 50ml bottle while avoiding flavor-altering oxidation thanks to their "cutting-edge, patent-pending" T.A.S.T.E. process, which stands for Total Anaerobic Sample Transfer Environment, and not Totally Awesome Secret Terminator Ending. Bro, that would be siiick. Packages include regional & style groupings like Red Essentials (from Napa Syrahs to Sonoma blends), plus vineyard-specific options, from the Grgich Hills set serving a mix of their Zin, Cab Sauv, and "richly fragrant" Merlot, to an "array of disparate wines" (Primitivo, Nebbiolo, Barbera...) from the Jacuzzi Family Vineyards, who started their operation after discovering how much wine was needed to facilitate their family hot tubbing.
The website even features numerous ways to help you source new grape hooch, from articles, to tasting tips, to virtual vineyard tours, and of course you can keep track of your favorites, but not your favorite tracks, because there's no way they can handle all that soul!
