About Us

Our Story. Our Heritage...



 

Welcome to Winetasting.com! We have taken the best of Ambrosia, the Berglund Catalog of Fine Wines®, partnered it with Geerlings & Wade, America's Leading Direct-to-Consumer Winery®, and created a compelling selection of what we believe to be the best wines in the world ... in quality, value and a sense of place.

Since 1991, we have been located in one of the most remarkable neighborhoods in the world -- the Napa Valley -- the epicenter of premium American wine production and culinary delights. Some would say our neighborhood is magical in its beauty and abundance ... rich in tradition, and people with passion, creating experiences to be remembered.

One advantage to living in the Napa Valley is that we are introduced to some of the best wines in the world, both locally and those produced in France, Italy, South Africa, Australia, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand and Spain. Winemakers and culinary experts visit the Napa Valley to compare our best food and wine with the best from around the world.

Our heritage within our Napa Valley community is deep. As Ambrosia, we were pioneers in partnering with Napa Valley wineries, and introduced wineries and the world to the concept of wine clubs. Our business has evolved and grown over the years, but our history never strays from our hearts or minds in everything we do.

In 2004, we became a wholly owned subsidiary of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM® INC (NASDAQ:FLWS), the country's leading thoughtful gift provider. This unique relationship has allowed us to continue to grow and expand our search for the greatest wines in the world. And with that thought in mind, in February 2009 we purchased certain assets of a great wine marketer, Geerlings & Wade.

Since 1986, Geerlings & Wade built a strong reputation on quality, value-priced wines. Over time, Geerlings & Wade became America's leading direct-to-consumer winery, producing wines both in Napa and through international partnerships with some of the best winemakers on Earth.

Today, our combined brands are Winetasting.com: America's leading direct marketer of fine wine and wine accessories, with home and office delivery to over 30 states and a devoted following of over 100,000 members. Our neverending quest for exquisite, yet value-priced wines leads us to vineyards around the world and thousands-upon-thousands of blind tasting and blending sessions to ensure our consumers get only the best.

We are not the "world's largest wine store," nor do we want to be. Instead, we pride ourselves on offering you the very best ... wines with compelling stories, complexity of taste and that you can always be proud to serve to your closest friends and family.

Welcome to our neighborhood. We're glad you're here!
