Winning the Trust of 12,000
 WineAccess Direct has spread like wildfire since its inception a year ago. There are already 12,000 customers and the number is growing by 200/week. While the success was evident, selling more than 12,000 cases in all, we wanted to learn more about our customers and their WineAccess Direct buying experience. So, two months ago, we implemented The Trust Survey. The survey asks buyers to rate the service rendered and the wines received on recent shipments. When we asked consultants what to expect from the survey, they told us that we would get lots of bad news, little good. "Happy customers see no need to respond," they said. Once the results came in, we learned two things. First, consultants are paid to consult, not to be right. Second, an overwhelming percentage of WineAccess Direct buyers are ecstatic about the great small production wines and the service they've received.

Ever since the positive reviews started rolling in, we began brainstorming, trying to come up with the best way to get people who have been receiving our emails, but never bought, to try out WineAccess Direct. This is what we came up with: six wines, a selection that spans a broad spectrum of the taste and flavor profiles. We're offering these wines at a special discount, and with FREE shipping, to a select group of new customers:

Haut-Ballet2005 Chateau Haut-Ballet Canon-Fronsac. The highly mineral soil of the small 10-hectare estate on a knoll high up in the appellation yields a vibrant, complex Bordeaux red, especially in the miraculous 2005 vintage. (More)

Beckmen Rose2007 Beckmen Purisima Mountain Vineyard Grenache Rosé. The best qualities of a Provence rosé emerge in this entry from Santa Barbara. The center-cut Grenache planting on the hillside vineyard delivers a beautiful pink wine with rich notes of strawberry. (More)

REAL2006 REAL IV Proprietary White. This rich, Alsatian-styled wine from Oregon's Willamette Valley marries Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay, resulting in a juicy, aromatic summer white. (More)

Carl Roy2006 Carl Roy Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley. Winemaker Chad Alexander found a parcel of land in Napa optimal for producing a wine that reflected the best characteristics of New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs. The result is full-bodied and powerful, with a finer acid structure than traditional Sauvignons from Napa. (More)

La Barroche2006 Domaine La Barroche "Terroir" Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Bright, spicy red fruit aromas precede concentrated red fruit flavors in this younger vine Chateauneuf from producer Julien Barrot, earlier the recipient of a perfect 100 points from Robert Parker. (More)

Trinitas2004 Trinitas Old Vine Petite Sirah. A longer, more-moderate growing season helps the grapes from this fifty-year-old vineyard on the Southeast side of Lodi form a wine that is concentrated, vibrant, and balanced. (More)
