Recommended Retailers
I buy wine from the companies listed on this page.
Each company has two things going for it: They have
great wines for sale and they do what they say they
are going to do. If you contact these companies, tell
them you were referred by onebottle.com. If you buy
wine from them and have any trouble with your
order, write to me and I will do my best to resolve
the problem for you.
None of the companies listed on this page are

Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
Berkeley, California
510 524-1524
Kermit Lynch’s first book, Adventures on the Wine
Route, is the best book I have read about wine.
KLWM’s free monthly newsletter is required
reading for anyone who wants to learn about wine.
The people who work at KLWM’s retail store in
Berkeley are some of the luckiest people in the
wine world. They get to sell great wines in all
prices ranges, they get to taste those wines, and
they get paid to tell the truth. It is difficult to
imagine a better place to buy wine.

Twenty Twenty Wine Merchants
Los Angeles, California
310 447-2020
If you like vintage Champagne, vintage White
Burgundy, vintage Red Bordeaux, vintage Red
Burgundy, or vintage Sauternes, you have three
options: You can spend a lot of time searching
for vintage wines, you can buy vintage wines at
auction, or you can contact Twenty Twenty Wine
Merchants. Of those three options, the last one
is the best.
I have been buying vintage wines from Bob
Golbahar since 1991. I have also sold vintage
wines to him. Bob Golbahar does exactly what
he says he is going to do, and every wine I have
bought from Twenty Twenty has been in
superb condition.

Pantheon Wine Shoppe, LLC
Northbrook, Illinois
847 498-1414
Pantheon specializes in impeccable wines and
impeccable service. After you buy wine from
Pantheon, Johnson Ho becomes your personal
sommelier. The wine world is full of retailers
who want to sell you their mistakes. Johnson Ho
wants to sell you his masterpieces. Take him up
on it. He will not be there forever.
If you live in or around Chicago, make the
pilgrimage to Northbrook. Pantheon is the
equivalent of a three-star Michelin restaurant.
It is worth the journey. If you like magnums
and other large-format bottles, Pantheon is
the place to buy them.

Hart Davis Hart Wine Company
Chicago, Illinois
312 482-9996
In 1993, John Hart started John Hart Fine Wines
in Chicago. I started buying wine from John
in 1995. John knows the wine business as well
as anyone. He also knows the difference
between quality and publicity.
In 2004, John and his son, Paul Hart, joined
forces with Michael Davis and created Hart
Davis Hart Wine Company. HDH’s wine auctions
are the standard for the industry. In 2010, HDH
sold $39,000,000 worth of wine through their
auctions.
Even if you have reservations about buying wine
at auction, it makes sense to track the performance
of your favorite wines at HDH’s auctions. HDH
is a corporation, but the people who run it and the
people who work there are knowledgeable, honest,
and authentic.
