“Someone once told me that wine is always about a place. You can't argue that when you drink a great wine, it transports you somewhere. When you have a De Long maps, you simply enhance the experience. The De Long map are simply the best maps ever. The quality of the print, the relevance of the information has elevated my passion for wines. Whether it's the wine map of France or Italy or the Wine Grape Varietal Table - they are now essential tools to my tasting experience. Trust me, you will never drink the same way again.”
Thank you so much, Pierre, for your fantastic 5-star review! We couldn't agree more that wine is always about a place. Cheers to many more incredible wine experiences!
“Their wine maps are simply the best in the business. I purchased the digital versions of France, Italy and Germany and realized that I wanted the entire set. They were able to credit me for the three that I already bought very quickly and painlessly. I can't recommend them enough.”
“Top quality. I ordered their wine regions maps of Spain, France and Italy to be shipped to Ireland. Initially my order got lost but they shipped the day right after I contacted them about the delay and it got here very quickly and very safely packed. Great quality product too.”
Hi Jordi, thanks so much for the great review and patience. I'm glad everything worked out in the end. International shipping is increasingly difficult.
“I had been looking for high quality vinification for sometime; my search ended with De Long. The muted and deep colors fade into the accurate and clean information presented on my map of the Pacific Northwest. It’s well organized and beautiful. The slight problems—a crushed box and inherent bend the included frame creates—are minor problems that future customers should be aware of. That being said, I would gladly purchase furthers maps from De Long. Perfect for introductory sommeliers and enthusiasts alike.”
“Was hoping I'd be as enthused about my cheese chart as I was about my periodic wine table. I purchased the the first wine chart (and have the related 2nd edition book) which was printed on a good quality paper that had a matte finish. As my original faded, I ordered the 2012 update and am disappointed with the wine chart dated 2012 and the cheeses of France chart because of the quality of the paper. It's glossy rather than matte and creases easily. I was hoping to laminate it but it would brown in a laminating machine. Likely I'll frame it using glass. Content is fascinating!”
Thanks so much for your review and honest comments about the paper quality. We've tried several different types of paper over the years and remarkably received more complaints about the expensive Mohawk uncoated vellum that your first wine chart was printed on. We're now printing on a fairly standard 100 lb Finch matte paper without lamination. The colors are brighter on it as it is coated paper stock. It seems to be a good all rounder with no complaints until now.
In the very near future, we will be offering all of our maps and prints using on heavyweight archival 160 lb paper with pigmented inks using the giclée system. It will cost more than our current maps as a premium option.
Thanks again for your review!
“5+ stars for the awesome wine chart. 1 star for the 'frame.' No instructions. Not intuitive. Needs side supports to handle the curl on the chart. Ordered the 24" frame set to straighten the sides to hang more nicely. Will need to trim them to fit. Sorry, I rarely leave negative reviews but this was a bit disappointing. Had hoped to mount, hang and enjoy, but now need to wait for the second frame and hope I get it trimmed and mounted correctly.”
“I think I’m going to really enjoy my map! It was mailed 13 days ago, and appears to be lost. de Long advised that I needed to wait until there were no tracking updates for 15 days before I could report the package as lost, but apparently I have to write a review now or never, so this is the best I can do. FWIW, the post office considers it lost after 7 days, which is why I reached out when I did.”
“More taxes & problems than the valie of goods
Payed 36€ of custom + 40 of tax
Over a 55,9€ value of gooods
Do not buy the print !! eventually the PDF”
Very sorry about your experience. Shipping and customs are a big problem in the UK. The best way to purchase there is through Wineware. https://www.wineware.co.uk/wine-tasting/de-long/
“If You ask me k ow to write a review - I have to give the lowest point, coz I still did not receive my order and You already twierdzi asked me for review pointing that it's the last moment for that...”
Hi Lukasz, very sorry that you haven't received your order yet. Shipments from the US to Poland aren't as quick as we would like. However, your shipment has cleared customs today so you will receive it soon. Hopefully you will change your mind about us when you see the maps!
Hi Chad, the tracking shows that your order was delivered. If you didn't receive it still, please reply to the tracking email that was sent to you. Thank you.
