When they were located in San Jose When they were located in San Jose, Ca. I used to drop in to pick up few bottles and now that they are located in Southern California, I do not have luxury to do so. Would directly call Jim and ask for recommendation and does not disappoint. Prompt response and outstanding service beginning to the end. Highly recommend to others!

Great price for fine and rare wines FineWineCollector(FWC) has long been my top choice for buying loose bottled fine and rare collectible wines.They offer great pricing (amongst the lowest on the net) and frequent updates of new wines.FWC charges reasonable for shipping. The only improvements I would like to see is that FWC offers shipping to more states.

My First Impression I was very impressed with my conversation and experience with my first purchase. A friend had had success buying from the sight and had found the bottles sound. Provenance is very important and Fine Wine Collector has a good record. I was very impressed with the knowledge about the wines during my phone conversation and the willingness to delay the shipment until an appropriate weather window. I look forward enjoying the wine when it arrives.

I was looking for a specific vintage… I was looking for a specific vintage and was arriving to San Diego that same morning. I was able to order online and pick up seamlessly the same day from the warehouse and gift my friend for his 40th birthday! The gift that keeps on giving (or aging!) Thank you Fine Wine Collector for a great experience and tasty wine!

The best. There's no more to say... I first 'met' Edward looking for the best price for my favorite wine (Merus - read: Mark Herold). To my surprise, I found not only a fount of wines, but also of knowledge about them. And 'a quite pleasant chap with whom to mull it over'. Over more than a decade (how time flies when you're having fun), we've become more than sales staff and customer. Often, we chat more than sell and buy wines. Edward knows my tastes (big Cabernets), and has several times given me the gift of suggesting wines about which I knew nothing, but absolutely knocked my socks off! I recommend his services and friendship without reservation. Call him. I'm certain that you'll find the same kind, gentle, and knowledgeable fellow wine lover that I did.
