Wine spies pros and cons
I really enjoy ordering wine from Wine Spies. In general, the wine selections are very high quality and the deals are great! I also like the wine locker option so that one can ship their orders when convenient and also just by a couple of bottles of something and build a case. Shipping in cardboard instead of Styrofoam is also a plus because it can be recycled. I do wish they would have more old world European selections, especially dry Alsatian Rieslings. There are too many overpriced Napa cabs for my personal tastes. Once in a while, WS will pitch a wine as a great deal when one can actually find it at the same price or less. They often give the retail price as sold from the winery, but that is often a very high price and not a "real" price. I usually google the wines for pricing and other reviews and am sometimes annoyed that it can be found cheaper elsewhere. I expect WS to offer the best pricing which it usually does, but not always.
