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.

Real professionals The staff in this store seemed to me quite professional, because I'm fond drinking wine and I prefer various exotic combinations of tastes. Thus, it's quite hard for me to find the wine which will suit my preferences and I got used to dedicate lots of time to the search. Once I spent the whole day in search of the good store. However, after I visited this store, I understood that I would be a real regular here. Managers helped me a lot to choose the wine which I needed, they listened to me carefully in order to help me. They saw that I was exhausted and I'm grateful for them.

Jim is just a pleasure to deal with Jim is just a pleasure to deal with. His eye for outstanding Bordeauxs (my faves), and his service are also outstanding. So far all of the wine he delivered has been spectacular. By the way, I am a lawyer, and have no problem griping and arguing about a myriad of things, so this is high praise indeed. wineguy58

Great price & communication Great price & communication. Owner called me to warn me about the warm weather that might affect the bottle during shipping time. We accelerated to next day shipping rather than 3 days. Will be returning for more soon!

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.
