    Reminds me of a current groupon - $25 for $75 worth of wine at Barclay's. I know nothing about wine, so I didn't bite.

    yeah, after that ebay card i got a month or two ago that ben posted about, I've been getting emails from them every day.
    i must admit that barclay's thing was the one that made me click on them, but when i looked at what they have i couldn't close the tab fast enough

    otoh wine.com - i didn't think twice for a second - they have really good stuff, and i've ordered in the past from them when my local shop couldn't get anymore a wine i really liked

    I guess that means I shouldn't get my dad the Barclay's for Fathers' Day...

    Well, that depends entirely on what kind of message do you want to send him
    But if you plan to be on his will, don't

    I just talked to them on the phone and I'm rather impressed with them. They said they'll ship it on monday and it will be here on wednesday. They delayed the shipment so that it doesn't sit with UPS over the weekend
    I like when people do their business properly. With their selection I think they just won my frequent return even though I have a couple of nice stores locally with great niche stuff.

    I guess this deserves a nice rioja to celebrate. Faustino, here I come!!!

    They're running the promo again! I thought it was a pretty good deal last time around, so I've ordered again. They have a lot of good wine at good prices (I've got few things even without a $35 discount like this).

    In case anybody is interested, here's the link.

    BTW I think they give another $5 to new customers, so it's $30 for $70 worth of wine.com wines.

    Now why do I have to spend all that money on "wine" when I can just mosey on down to Walgreen's and get all the Ripple I want for a song and it doesn't have to be shipped.
