I decided to sign up after Yvonne gave a presentation to the North Shore Wine & Food Society just before the official launch of WineFriend. I liked the idea of being sent wines that match my basic tastes but would provide me the opportunity to taste new wines I hadn't tried before. I haven't been disappointed having tried many exciting wines I had never seen or in some cases heard of before e.g. Albarino, Blanc de Noir & Primitivo. They are wines I knew nothing about so would not have bought just walking into a bottle store and browsing through the shelves. I continue to buy from WineFriends because of the excellent service they provided especially when I asked for something out of my norm when ordering gift packs for my friends, who are usually Chardonnay drinkers.
