Amazon Local: $20 for $40 from Wine.com

wine.com
Amazon Local is offering $40 to spend on wine and other merchandise for $20 at Wine.com.

Prior purchasers of these social coupons will recall the main restrictions:
  • Can't be used to pay for shipping/tax
  • Can't be used for wine in MA
Shipping the first bottle generally costs about $12.95 so these deals are more appealing for those who have subscribed to Wine.com's Steward Ship program which covers all Wine.com shipments for a year for a flat fee of $49.

Some of my favorite affordable picks for this time of year:
  • 2010 King Estate Signature Pinot Gris ($14.99 in MA)
  • Marquis de la Tour Loire Sparkling White ($9.99 - discovered at The Capital Grille)
  • 2008 Glen Carlou Grand Classique ($14.99 reader tip)
  • 2010 Belle Glos Meiomi Pinot Noir ($19.99 can't miss with this one)
  • 2009 Byron Santa Barbara Pinot Noir ($12.99 in MA)
