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.

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!

first class handling and customer service of first growth wine ordered a 88 latour last week for a first growth wine tasting on friday in Fort Lauderdale. amongst a lineup of 88 HB, 86 Margaux, 96 Mouton, 98 Margaux and 01 HB, the Latour was a clear winner. the folks at finewinecollector pristinely shipped the bottle directly to my hotel via 2 day fedex... the wine was simply stunning. had spoken to edward a couple times on the phone to ensure the bottle would be delivered properly and he took care of everything. would do business again with them in a heartbeat.

perfect experience I have had a number of orders placed with Edward. From my first experience and following through to my latest dealings I have found Edward to be extremely knowledgable and I have received superlative customer care. Every bottle that I have purchased has been in perfect condition. I look forward to many more dealings with Edward! Robert Weinstein

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!
