The Wine Academy approaches the wine question in two basic ways.

First, we know that everyone has favorite wines that they know and have been drinking for years. We know the popular wines and stock them for you, but we price them super competitively; why pay more than you have to for the wines you already love.

Second, not everyone knows about the great diversity of smaller producers out there making great juice. Everyone has their jobs in life; our job is to scour the back roads of the wine world and find for you these small producers who make the wines that really bring out the essence of the various wine producing regions of the world. And, outside of the magnificent flavors and textures that you will discover, you can save money! What not everyone realizes is that these artisanal producers are available in ALL price points. You want a great red wine with notes of fruit and earth that goes with or without food and will only cost you $10? We got it. You want a light, mineral driven white that pairs well with food (from oysters to roast chicken) and want to pay $9? We got it. How about a sparkling wine from the Loire Valley that beats most Champagnes made but costs half the price? You guessed it, we got it.

We're going to have some fun together!
