Welcome to Spec’s Fine Wine

As Spec’s has grown over the year’s, we have gotten better at just about everything we do except communicating with our fine wine customers. It’s not that we don’t have a lot of fine wine and it’s not that we don’t have a lot to say. In fact, Spec’s has more fine wine than anyone else and we, the wine buyers and consultants at Spec’s, have a lot of information to share. We just hadn’t found the right way to go about it – until now. With this new blog-based web site, we now have a way to publish all the information we have for our fine wine customers without inundating our other customers with esoterica they don’t care about. So how does it work? Come to the site and browse through all the information (which we add to daily) or subscribe to the site (just press the FOLLOW button) and be notified by email whenever we post something new. Either way, get your geek on and join us for information, reviews, events, offers, and features all focused on your (and our) favorite beverage – Fine Wine. This is going to be fun.
