BEST OF THE BEST HAND PICKED
The Best of the Best Hand Picked Selections represent some of our staff and customer's all time favorite wines. These are wines that are absolute show stoppers and wine lovers can't help but get excited about them everytime.

Look for the Grapes HAND PICKED icon in wine descriptions throughout our site. This icon denotes wines that have been professionaly evaluated by our team of wine experts and approved by Grapes as a Top Quality Wine.

Personally approved great drinking wines available immediately.

New wines tasted are added daily. There has never been a more exciting time to uncork a bottle. Informed wine buyers know that right now is The Gold Age Of Wine In America. However due to the confusing market place (thousands of choices), the Joy Of Good Wine still eludes many enthusiasts.

As Connecticut's leading wine selection specialists, we do our utmost to point out only the spectacular drinking wines out there.

We are serious about good wines. Since 1986, our motto has been to personally do all the necessary wine homework in order to provide and recommend top wines to our customers. Wines that we have personally tasted ourselves. We carefully taste thousands of wines every year.

We have meticulously already completed all the hard part for you. The tasting. The comparing. All "OK" and "Mediocre" wines have been discarded. Selected and presented below, are wines that are amongst the best available right now, for your confident drinking pleasure. The wines at various price levels, will appear below as soon as we locate them. We work harder to make wine lovers win. Our goal is to consistently provide you with a reliable resource for great drinking wines.

We have been successful with this approach for nearly 20 years. We are proud of the thousands of loyal repeat customers who confidently keep coming back. We work hard to steer them right.

Do give us a try! Our suggestion is to start with a mixed case, 3 bottles of 4 selected wines. It's a great way to go. Good wines are by their very nature highly desirable by all wine buyers - so please act quickly when you find a wine to your liking. Don't miss out on the "good stuff" below.

Red Wine Hand-Picked 90 Pts RP r <b>Tasting Notes:</b> In 2007, the highlights include the delicious, fruit-driven, tasty 2007 Vacqueyras Vieux Clocher, which exhibits plenty of kirsch, Provencal herbs, and pepper. It should drink well for 3-4 years. All these 2007s merit serious attention.
