Here is what My Wines Direct have to say about themselves:

My Wines Direct Began… When we noticed wine wasn’t fun anymore! With thousands of labels in stores, online and tasting rooms, choosing a wine had become confusing and intimidating. We were asking friends, buying the same thing, or drinking lots of not-so-good wines. We decided it was time to find a way to make enjoying good wine all the time easier. Our Mission is to:

Enhance your wine enjoyment with expertly chosen, consumer-approved wines from small undiscovered vineyards.
Offer you a limited, carefully selected number of wines to eliminate confusion.
Provide you with outstanding wine values and make wine buying easy, reliable and convenient.
Give you the knowledge to experiment and the confidence to discover your own likes, dislikes and tastes.

Most of all, we want buying, serving and drinking wine to be fun, easy and enjoyable. Cheers!

Here are the current top sellers from My Wines Direct:

Tanjil Pinot Noir Gippsland, Australia An interesting combination of strawberry and truffle flavors make this light-to-medium-bodied Pinot a good choice on its own or with poultry, white meats or mushroom dishes.

$19.99 Highly recommended by The Wine Blokes.

Gippsland Wine Region: is very much an emerging wine region in Australia, and despite some brilliant grapegrowing areas, it has yet to capture the imagination of wine consumers. Pinot Noir does especially well in South & West Gippsland, and Shiraz, Riesling, and some Chardonnay are very good in the middle to eastern area of the region.

Map of Gippsland:

Sullivan Vineyards Red Ink 2005 Rutherford, California Warm, ripe fruit with spicy coconut flavor make this a great choice for grilled meats, pasta, or pizza. It’s a Cabernet base but also soft enough to enjoy by itself. $24.99
