Every month, Wine.com experts will select a theme for each, from discovering a new variety or region to food and wine pairing.

"Picking the right wine isn't always easy -- it can even get overwhelming no matter what level of knowledge you have," said Gwendolyn Osborn, Director of Content and Education at Wine.com. "The mission of the Wine.com Tasting Room is to offer personalized service and recommendations, similar to the experience one receives at a winery's 'live' tasting room. We may be virtual, but we have the ability to offer the same kind of education and service with curated lists that will appeal to consumers with different levels of wine expertise."
Wine.com has also added other features to their consumer site in order to make shopping for wine even easier and more comprehensive. Recent enhancements include Facebook Connect integration and the addition of alcohol by volume (ABV) percentages to product detail pages.
