The leading wine e-commerce site for the most-inspired boutique wines in the world. Our sourcing team has travels the global to find the finest and most unique wines. And we've shared our experiences with members, enabling them to tell the stories behind the wines they serve to family and friends. The wines we select are grown — not made. Vineyard tours with growers help us understand soil makeup, exposition, and vineyard treatments (biodynamic, organic, sustainable), all of which have a profound effect on the finished wine. To ensure quality, wines are evaluated at least twice: First in the cellars in which they were made. And then again before we offer them to our membership. Even the most practiced tasters can have a bad day (or a cold). After 25 years of critical tastings, it's unlikely that we'll have two. Learn what is truly extraordinary about wine.

Clarus Commerce is leading the e-commerce loyalty revolution. Consumer shopping habits have changed and they are less loyal than ever before. Why hasn’t loyalty changed with them? The free points programs of the past are proving less and less effective today, but premium loyalty is different. Consumers pay a membership fee to join your program, and receive tangible, 24/7/365 benefits in return. They’ll shop with you more often, and spend more when they do. You get additional revenue from membership fees, and unparalleled intelligence on your best customers’ habits, likes and dislikes. The premium loyalty model is simple to explain but difficult to implement. That's where our 16 years of experience come in. We combine decades of human experience, repeatable best practices, a modern technology platform, mature infrastructure and a no-risk business model to craft custom brand experiences that create tangible client results. When creativity, strategy and data meet, great things happen. Our goal is to provide our team with a collaborative, stimulating environment to foster that meeting. We deliver results for our clients – and we have some fun doing it. That’s why we’ve been named a Top CT Workplace for 5 years in a row.
