Introducing... Agent Picks!

Agent Picks is a new program that highlights our Agents personal wine preferences. Learn about their backgrounds, get a feel for their palates, and see how their taste compares to yours. Get exclusive recommendations straight from the seasoned team at Wine Spies, and uncover hidden gems you didn't know you'd love.

How Agents pick their favorites

Each week, our Agents convene at HQ to taste dozens of wines to uncover the best deals for you. At Wine Spies, we have a simple rule: If we don't love it, we don't sell it. The selections Featured each day are a reflection of the diverse tastes of all our Agents. Every Agent has a unique style, and that comes through in our tastings with raucous debate as Agents champion the candidates they have a particular affinity with.

Each Agent only gets to ONE Pick each month. With hundreds of wines passing through the gauntlet monthly, they'll have to be very judicious when awarding their Pick.

Now, you'll see the Agent Picks alongside the pro scores on each sale. With another tap you can visit the Agent's Dossier to explore more of their past Picks, as well as see their calculated stats on top region and varietal preferences.

Yours to explore

Welcome to Agent Picks. Explore how each Agent experiences wine, and maybe even see how their tastes evolve over time.

So - are you ready for a profile briefing, Operative?
