Sell Back Your Wine: Tip-of-the-Day #218


K&L MERCHANTS WANTS YOUR WINE!

I just received an email from one of my favorite wine shops in San Francisco, K&L Wine Merchants (also found online at KLWines.com). Knowing that their loyal constituency of grape enthusiasts often collect more bottles than originally planned, they are offering to BUY BACK 'well stored' wine - no questions asked. Interesting idea.

It is true that sometimes our taste changes and we end up with mature wine in a style that is no longer our favorite. And, sometimes bottles that were purchased long ago become so valuable that drinking them doesn't sound fun anymore. (That never happens to me). I will say that it is possible to run out of storage space (I've started stacking up boxes in my garage, marking them with 'drink by' dates).

Well, K&L would like to make people fair offers on the unwanted bottles, whatever the reason.

They are promising to pay immediately, and by check. If I had anything I felt like parting with, this would motivate me to do it. After all, that's just more cash for Christmas.

Write to: library@klwines.com if interested. Good luck!
