New Wines

Hello!

Brian is busy adding more selections to our inventory. Our first few just began arriving in our facilities today. Look for some posts shortly from Brian describing these new wines and what he is planning to offer! I do not want to steal Brian's thunder but check them out at http://www.lovewashingtonwine.com and look for Brian's blog shortly.

Love Washington Wine Evolution

Love Washington Wine is back online after a few weeks off during January. Due to an increase in our sales volume and to the fact Love Washington Wine became a licensed retailer we needed to move to a new facility and obtain a license from the Washington State Liquor Control Board. We successfully accomplished both and are back online rebuilding our inventory and adding some news wines over the next couple of weeks.

Why did we become a retailer?

Our customers wanted a larger and more diverse selection of wines, becoming a retailer allowed us access to more wines within the three tiered system in Washington State. The licensing complexity of our old business model required in order to comply with state and federal rules became a limiting factor in obtaining wines for sale.

We decided to become a retailer just in the nick of time! The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned 8 of the 9 rulings in the Costco case keeping most of the three tiered system in tact in a ruling just last week. However, wine lovers do not despair, at the same time states are starting to open up to out of state retailers such as Love Washington Wine. We are applying to several states to ship directly to consumers and will activate them on the site as soon as we receive permission to do so.

Hey Wine Lovers here is something new!

Greetings Wine Lovers,

My name is Brian and I am the Wine buyer for Love Washington Wine. Stay tuned for my latest NEW wine selections. I will also look forward to your Washington Wine suggestions.
