The big surprise, as you say Kim, is there is literally no relationship between price and quality in the wine world. The $10 Azahara you recommended for our farewell party was ridiculously good.
Lisa and I have an annual Xmas dinner for twenty of our closest friends and your BWW delivers the goods every year. Not a bad bottle ever. Keep up the great work, mate.

Huge devotion! Weekly updates! A really useful consumer service. You deserve all the goodwill you have.
Didn’t know some of the wines, but I was blown away by the quality available for this kind of money. I’ve paid a lot more for labels I know and been hugely disappointed.
Last year I used your Best Wines advice to pre-order 6 months’ supply of wine to be shipped to me overseas. What a treat! Thanks for the great resource, Kim!
Congratulations on a great and informative newsletter. It’s been a wonderful help in choosing good quality, reasonably priced wines. I never miss miss a week now.
I buy wine for about a dozen families, for a company and for myself, with current cellar stock 1500 bottles. Your advice is a highly valued and reliable bench mark and, by the way, I am not a connoisseur collector but a consumer. I say drink and enjoy (in moderation of course)!
I continue to buy and taste on your recommendations and thoroughly enjoying the experience and to date, not one disappointment. Don’t plan to retire soon!
Congratulations, Kim. You’ve been an invaluable source of information and I have no doubt that I am drinking better wine as result. Having only lived in Australia for 5 years, you’ve really given me an appreciation of how much great wine this country produces. So much so that I now can take a bottle to dinner with friends who have many more years of wine experience than myself and even raise a few compliments on my selections. Safe to say I think you can a lot of the credit for that!
Been looking for years for someone who concentrates on the value end of the wine market. It’s written from the right perspective and reduces the legwork needed to find good wines. Thank you.
You have a gift for wine description that mercifully avoids all the bullshit about the aromatic nuances of pear skins and Virginia tobacco leaf … Enjoying the prices, too.
You do great work and I wouldn’t miss your Weekly for quids. We’ve bought many 12 packs based on your lists and every bottle has been a hit.
Since I subscribed a month or two ago, I’ve used your alerts to guide all my wine buying and they’ve all been good choices. Now I find myself looking forward to reading the mailer on Friday afternoon.
A brilliant service, takes all the leg work out of choosing great wines.
I read with great interest every week all the wines you recommend. I am a big fan of Riesling especially Leo Burings but have enjoyed your other recommendations Frogmore, Claymore and Heemskerk. I buy all my wines through Kemenys as I like to support the independent wine suppliers.
Bought some of the Hilltops Shiraz (hidden label) from Kemenys after reading your recommendation. Excellent choice. Love your mailer. Thanks.
Four times my annual subscription saved in one transaction! How good is that, Kim?

I’ve ordered a couple of 6-packs from your great list of value wines. I have about 500 wines racked up in my cellar but continually need drink-now wines for daily consumption. However, some of your suggestions are making me wonder whether I need to buy more racks … Thanks.
Kellie Grove
I impressed my husband…..I bought the last 6 bottles of 2015 Lizzie at our cellar. I have also introduced him to your website. He was very amused with some of your comments. He is now looking forward to your weekly email, too. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Kim, what a ripping mailer. I suspect my bank account will suffer, but the quality of wine will improve and my stockpile might also grow! Thanks again.
Keith Hockly
Emailed Darryl from WineDirect re the shiraz special and got a call back within ten minutes to organise the sale. Friendly professional service. Glad I signed up. Impressed so far!
David Klease
I usually avoid South American wine like the plague. However I went on a limb and trusted your advice on Montes limited selection in today’s Friday mail out. For $10, it is very, very good. Nice work Kim!!
Keith J
I enjoy your weekly email immensely and purchased a case of Wynns Coonawarra Cab Sauv from Winestar in a seamless transaction. I’m your latest fan.
Bill Walter
I continue to buy and taste on your recommendations and thoroughly enjoying the experience and to date, not one disappointment. Keep up the good work.

I enjoy your irreverent look at the wine world and what it has to offer, whilst picking up some bargains along the way.

Love the way you cut through the labyrinth of wine hype with succinct and pithy comments that are a pleasure to read.
Joan S
Great mailer! I love it and find it really useful when buying wine – you do all the leg work for me.
Chris B
Really enjoying your mailer. It’s independent, refreshingly honest, and doesn’t take itself too seriously.
George Carter
Kim, you have an awesome wine mailer. I can sense the passion!
Nigel
I’m loving your work, and have forwarded your mailer to my wine-loving friends.

Great mailer! I’ve been taking your advice on wine selection, and I find your appraisals spot on.

I really enjoy reading your mailer each week. It also gives me leads to wines I may have missed.

Keep up the fantastic work and keep telling it like it is.

What a great idea! We’re drinking much better wine, and paying much less.
Col Wilson
Thank you for your weekly wine newsletter. BWW has become an important part of my life.
Clive D
Great work on the mailer – provides a great service to those of us who have never really developed their expertise. We need to be saved from ourselves and our irrational way of making wine purchases. Really enjoy the price/quality ratio.
Peter N Wine Guru
I’ve been thinking about exactly this model for a number of years. Well done, Kim. Great work.
Chris B
I take my hat off to you and can’t thank you enough for your efforts and expertise. Keep up the fantastic work, Kim.
