Online wine retailer wine.com released its list of the 100 most-bought wines from its site in the past year.
And the number one wine was Veramonte Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2006. A wine I’ve never heard of. In fact, it seems as if all the Veramonte bottlings make the list. The wine is distributed by Southern Wine & Spirits, the distributing behemoth, which means the output must be substantial. And it seems they’re doing a good job.
But what I liked about the wine.com website was the simple visual way they give basic info about the wine.

I like when wines are classes like that too. Means much more than a review or a bunch of tasting notes. There’s a wine shop in DC that does something similar with their shelf talkers:
