Moore Brothers is as close to perfection as exists. They do pretty much everything just right and the wines are just exceptional. I’d love for them to recycle corks and I wish that the adhesive on the price labels that they use was a little less tenacious, but these are very minor things.

We talked through it a while and she gave me some recommendations (which, from a price standpoint, were on the low end). I enjoyed them all and really like being able to rate them on the website for future reference. I have not purchased a bottle of wine from a liquor store ever since. I recommend Moore Brothers...
