Thanks for the write-up and the constructive suggestions. The Excel Wines blog will be up and running by the weekend - we'll keep you posted.
But, I'm not clear what sort of makeover you're suggesting for finding a particular wine. Can you please expand a little?
Cheers,

Ane, we're elated to hear that you guys are launching a blog. Congratulations!
In regards to your site being a bit Wine 1.0, as much as we can give you list of reasons why we feel it needs a little tweaking, I think what would be more constructive is a site review on the Open Wine Consortium. I've chatted with Robert McIntosh, the great administer of the forum page dedicated to site reviews, and he's put you on the list. So, let's see what suggestions the wider community can give you.
Cheers!

I've been ordering wines from Excel Wines for about a year, and I have to say I'm absolutely delighted with them. As someone transplanted from the States to the UK, I've spent many years putting up with abysmal customer service, so finding a company that not only leaves most companies in the UK in the dust, but most suppliers I've dealt with in the states in dust, has been wonderful. They let me know exactly what's happening every step of the way - if there's a delay sourcing wine, when the package is assembled and shipped, and when it's expected to arrive. When there are problems (as of late one of the delivery services in the UK has occasionally taken to pinching my wine), they are right on top of things, and keep me totally informed as they resolve the situation (there is a new delivery service now!)
The other reason I like them is that they source interesting wine from all over Spain, including many from new and up and coming bodegas. They also package many of these into sampler packs, giving you a chance to try a variety of wines, not having always to do it a case at a time. Although I have my favorites, I am constantly on the lookout for new favorites, and they make it very, very easy to do this. The age of undiscovered gems, which I think in France is behind us, in Spain is now upon us. Finding them, with the help of Excel Wines, has for me been a lot of fun.
Thanks to Miguel Merino for spurring these three to action, and thanks to the three of them for creating a wine store with a real difference.
