My Wines Direct handpicks which wines to carry from small undiscovered vineyards. They offer a limited wine selection and free shipping on all orders. Their online shopping cart is easy to navigate and order from. However, since their wine selection comes from undiscovered vineyards, the consumer bears some risk when choosing wine here.

  My Wines Direct
 

Often there are few, if any reviews of these smaller wine vineyards and so one has to rely on the seller's product description when choosing. My Wines Direct aims to give you the knowledge to experiment and the confidence to discover your own likes, dislikes and tastes.


Summary -
Our unique, rigorous 3-step screening process uses experts and consumers to give you guaranteed winners.

How the My Wines Direct selection process works:

  1. Expert Selection: Wine Buyer
    Each month, our wine buyer tastes hundreds of candidates from around the world. Keepers are decided by taste, characteristics, region, varietal and value.
  2. Tasting Panels: Consumers
    Members and guests attend blind tastings across the nation. Wines are sampled in flights and given a "yes" or "no" vote. Only runaway winners move on
  3. Final Review: Wine Master
    Winners are certified for taste, value and consumer expectations. Successful candidates become My Wines Direct selections.

Members and guests attend blind tasting across the nation. Wines are sampled in flights and given a "yes" or "no" vote. Only runaway winners move on.

  1. My Wines Direct Taste Test consists of ...
    Wines organized into blind "flights" of 3 to 5 according to taste and varietal.

    Members and guests attend blind tastings across the nation. Wines are sampled in flights and given a "yes" or "no" vote. Only runaway winners move on
  2. No two consumers, no two panels vote exactly alike.
  3. Only those with a substantial majority of "yes" votes from all consumer panels move on.
  4. Now the tasters get to see the label, price, bottle… there's always a little discussion and suprise, especially when the least expensive wins.

TopReviews.com Rating and Summary -
My Wines Direct offers friendly customer service and good selection. However, one bears a bit of a risk as these wines from unknown vineyards can be a bit pricey. Those interested in experimenting with an online wine retailer will really have to weight My Wines Direct product descriptions and hope they are as good as advertised.
