Hikers Love Us!

March 22nd, 2007 · Categories: WineQ Reviews

If you’re the kind of guy that finds sheer joy in braving miles of treacherous wilderness and laughing in the face of danger, you just might enjoy WineQ. At least, that’s the message we’re getting from a very glowing review by California Wine Hiker Russ Beebe:

Imagine an online wine store that is based loosely on the Netflix model, in essence a website where you can very easily queue up the wines you choose for shipment on a schedule that you set yourself. Imagine a site where you can rate and recommend the wines you receive. Imagine also that you can change the quantity or the frequency of your shipments, or even the wines themselves, all by a quick and simple menu or drag-and-drop method. Imagine a site that offers hard-to-find high-quality California wines, many of which are medal-winners, and a blog that announces their arrival.

And now imagine free shipping on orders over $35.

Introducing WineQ.com, a site that I’ve chosen to become a member of because of all these things, and more. I’ve already received my first shipment, and it was a dandy one that included a 2002 Steven Kent Cabernet Sauvignon from the Livermore Valley, a wine that made me feel like I was the very incarnation of a major deity commanding untold Q-less minions from my Mount Olympus throne.

While we would definitely agree that Steven Kent’s Cab is exceptionally divine, Mount Olympus is way too much of a hike for us! Can’t we hike somewhere easy, like to the beach or through the redwoods?

Aw shucks! Y’know, I may be in good hiking shape, but when I’m temporarily deified by the likes of the ‘02 Kent Cab, I seem to float up those divine slopes, if only in my mental (and very mythical) meanderings.

Looks like the Good Dr. Debs has deigned to a little deity herself today.
