About TastingRoom.com:
TastingRoom.com™ is the first-ever website destination for wine tasting. Their unique "try before you buy" service allows consumers to experience at home what previously could only occur at wineries and wine bars: taste wine in small samples without purchasing a full-size bottle. TastingRoom.com partners with top wineries to create wine sampler collections comprised of six wines in mini bottles. Each mini bottle contains 1.7 ounces of wine – the equivalent of a generous tasting room pour. The minis are labeled to match the originals and are beautifully packaged with wine descriptions and tasting notes. The web service also helps customers rate and track their wines and offers additional information on wineries, wine tasting tips and tools.
TastingRoom.com uses its patented TASTE Technology™ to transfer wine directly from larger wine bottles (750ml and up) into smaller formats in a sealed, zero-oxygen chamber. A focus on wine quality drives every step of the transfer and testing process so that wineries and consumers alike can be assured that the samples are a true representation of the wine. Each sample reflects the same flavors and aromas as the full-sized bottle from which it came. TastingRoom.com customers can be confident they'll enjoy every bottle they buy because they've already sampled the wine.
