We're making an effort to try to bridge that gap on the internet, by providing information along with a cool vibe, a comfortable setting for younger enthusiasts, and of course a place to buy wine.

JOEL I wrote on a related topic on my blog talking about how wine buying has a “value chain” of sorts and that the “corner wine shop” is one of the few areas that actually completes the value chain and therefore represents the best way to get wine.

Whats the saying about great minds?

Its always interesting to see how the US lags behind in certain areas of the wine world. It may have something to do with the relative sizes of the countries as well. Being that the US is larger it would seem much more difficult to develop the cohesive wine network of the UK. Who Knows? Very Interesting to hear that.

There are many small specialist wine merchants that wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the web. They can import artisan wines in quantities too small for the main wine merchants and market them at low cost via the web. Obviously your main area of interest is the US but don't go inventing the wheel again Perhaps this is one of the reasons that wine has been so slow in coming to the online table
