Welcome, wine friends!

Please contact me at kenton.erwin@gmail.com .

I am a wine e-retailer. I have a license to buy wines at wholesale (about 30-45% off retail prices). I share the savings with my friends. Want to be my friend? My customer list is growing, and I would welcome you to it. I have low overhead, so my prices are about as low as you can find (and if I'm not the lowest price, I won't sell to you).

Comments from my so-kind customers:

"Thank you for expanding and enhancing our wine knowledge and introducing us to wines we would probably never try by ourselves. We appreciate you!" - J.C.

"That Orvieto was fabulous. A great hit with our guests. A great value, too." - Y.D.

"Wow - we tried both the Caposaldo and Zardetto proseccos this weekend. In one word -- YUMMY! I'm so glad I purchased a case of each. They are so wonderful." - T.B.

"Hey Kenton, I just wanted to let you know how pleased I have been with my wine purchases! So far all of the wines have been terrific and positively a good value." - A.D.

"I feel VERY fortunate having only paid $19 for the Ex Umbris! Thanks Kenton." - K.N.

"I appreciate all you do for us 'winos,' and especially enjoy the emails bursting with interesting facts and tales of trips to great wineries around the world. Thanks for continuing your wonderful services." - R.H.

Hi, Kenton - I took a bottle of the Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc to a neighborhood gathering this weekend & it received rave reviews! Blew everyone away who tasted it. Thanks!" - S.S.

"Kenton, just a note to let you were the subject of discussion at dinner last night with my nephew and his wife. I said that you were really super and that you had led me to many wines I wouldn't have tried or known before, and how broad your tastes and interests were, and we all agreed what a delight you were and very special, and I for one am delighted to know and have contact with you." - L.B.

"Kenton, compliments on the awesome find in Skylite's Big Red Hiney wine - simply incredible value. Thank you." -- M. S.

"Dear Kenton: I decided to write a short note of thanks to you for introducing me to some of the best wines and many favorites that I would never have encountered without your help." - B.L.

"We enjoyed For a Song Syrah from you last night. Lovely wine for the price! We would put in the category of a $30-45 wine, and it is just $12.50! How can you beat that? Cheers." - R.D.

"Your straightforward, true-to-yourself approach is refreshing, adn one of your many appealing attributes. Keep it up!" - B.S.

"That Enso 2011 Petite Sirah is FABULOUS! Thank you!" - G.G.

I also grow grapes, make wines as a small commercial winery (my Epona label wines have won some awards, including a Best in Show), collect wines, and offer cellar and vineyard consulting.
