$30 off $100 at Wine Access [Working for Existing Accounts]
Sunday, September 20, 2020
Unlike Wine.com, Wine Access doesn't "do" promo codes. Instead they rely on entry links to associate discounts with accounts.
A good one for $30 off $100 surfaced recently:
https://wineaccess.com/enjoy30
When I visit the site through this link it says "Enjoy $30 Off Your First Purchase of $100" which would seem to imply that it's intended for new users. Or, it could mean it's a "come back" offer to encourage existing users to place a $100+ order. It's working for existing accounts so let's assume it's the latter...

Deal: Elk Cove Goodrich Vineyard Pinot Noir for $35 (before discounts)
Saturday, September 19, 2020
I know a lot of readers have been interested in Wine Access deals, but due to their relatively limited assortment are also looking for specific recommendations. The 2017 Elk Cove Goodrich Pinot Noir for $35 before discounts is a great one:
2017 Elk Cove Vineyards Goodrich Pinot Noir
Their single vineyard Pinot Noirs retail for around $60, and their Willamette Valley bottling retails for $32. So this is like getting a single vineyard wine for the price of an appellation wine...but then you can stack the discounts mentioned below to take the price down even further.
I was poking around and they've got some other great wines right now:
- 2017 Hirsch Vineyards San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
- 2018 Kistler Vineyards Pinot Noir Russian River
- 2018 Ridge Vineyards Geyserville
