YMMV: Wine Access $100 off $250

Via Wine Berserkers here's a $100 off $250 Wine Access link:

https://www.wineaccess.com/2019

It's said to be for "your first purchase":

However, I do see it working for an existing account:

It's unclear how Wine Access prioritizes the use of existing credits tied to an account. For example I have the following discounts loaded:

For example...

If I add $200, the 15% coupon is triggered. I'd rather have $50 off $200.

But if I add $250 the $100 coupon is triggered.

So I think this one is a little fragile, and it's a matter of trying and seeing what works...

What to Buy

40% off ($100 off $250) plus free shipping on $120+ is pretty great.

2018 Concept Album Pinot Noir Anderson Valley Mendocino County $22

I'm not sure how this wine, an NDA Pinot Noir, snuck by me. I'll order some now, ships quickly. The only other NDA Pinot Noir I've had was a little disappointing, but this Concept Album surely sounds like Savoy Vineyard.

2019 Bedrock Wine Company Old Vine Zinfandel California $25

New vintage of a perennial favorite.

2018 County Line Vineyards Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast $28

Radio-Coteau's crowd pleasing second label Pinot Noir. Great value.

2015 Editorial Napa Cab $30-$35

I love the source producer rumored to be behind this NDA Cab. After trying a few bottles I'm thinking of buying more.

2018 Moundsman Rutherford Napa Cab $30-$36

Of all the 2018 NDA wines, this one is probably the most ready to go right now. Every bottle I've opened has been just terrific.

2018 Color & Sound Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain District Napa Valley $29-$35

Probably the most puzzling NDA wine they've offered yet. Can't seem to pin it down, but no matter who the source is, it sounds good. I've got some of this on the way.

2018 Etude Pinot Noir Grace Benoist Ranch Carneros Sonoma County $30-$33

I had a bottle of the 2018 Etude Heirloom Pinot Noir the ohter night, which I think is a much more expensive bottling. It was good, if a little disappointing. But Etude is a solid producer and I'd be up for trying this one. Especially at 40% off.

2015 Coho Merlot Michael Black Vineyard Coombsville Napa Valley $39

I opened a bottle of this just last night. Great stuff. I've long been a fan of Coho Headwaters, and this is very similar to that. Full bodied, luscious, well-balanced.

Bottom Line

Wine Access typically doesn't allow stacking of promos, so I don't think you can stack $50 off $150 through referral with the $100 off $250 we're talking about here.

It could be one of those situations where it's best to do both, one at a time.
