Professionally I'm responsible for human resource issues with my company's workforce of 1500 people here in Maine. I'm forever preaching about good ole customer service and how small things really do make a difference. For you to take the time and effort to recognize me, that's meaningful. Keep up the good work. And I have told my friends about you!"
                                                                                        Michael P.

                                                                                          Stephen M.

"Once again, I wonder where in the world you guys manage to get your hands on these delightful Australian Shirazes. I'm glad that at least some of them make it into the States, and I'm glad there is a way for me to get my hands on a few! Sadly, I have become hopelessly addicted to the smell and taste of Australian Shiraz, and even more sadly, it seems that I have developed enough of a palate that I do like the ones that (ugh) cost more. I am happy that you are there to help feed my addiction to this unique aroma and bouquet."
                                                                                         Timothy C.

"I wanted to tell you how impressed I was with the service Dorothy (the face of your company to me) provided to me during my recent purchase. It really makes you say "WOW, that's a company I want to do business with again." I am recommending it to friends and will make other purchases from your site. You should be proud and I hope you will recognize her accordingly."
                                                                                             Anne M.

"David, Can't thank you enough. I'll confirm when it arrives. I'll definitely keep you guys in mind if I know someone with a cellar they want to get rid of. Very impressed with your service!"
                                                                                              Jeremy S.

"The wedding of my eldest niece was July 22 and we received the Riedel crystal toasting glasses with the year 2000 as suitable momento of the oath to one another. The families were ecstatic at opening those cylinders containing fine glassware and perhaps decades of sweet memories for this couple.

Since they already knew of the Riedel tradition and fame through earlier gifts of the tasting glasses to my sister and her husband, there was an audible gasp of awe when the champagne glasses were opened.

Your consistent courtesy and swift response time brought many smiles across the faces of rather simple North Dakotans being exposed to some among the finer crystal glasses available. Thank you each!"
                                                                                         Stephen M.  

"Got the check - Wednesday afternoon - once again, I'll keep you in mind for future business. Brentwood Wine has been a wonderful facility and its employees has been a tremendous service to my needs."
                                                                                            Jeremy S.

"Thank you Dave! He just called to say thank you and he is absolutely thrilled! I told him that the towel would be arriving soon.

It has been a pleasure doing business with you and I look forward to dealing with you in the future!"
                                                                                        Annie A.

"Keep up the great work with the website. Nice balance of information and sales, good prices, good performance, and easy navigation."
                                                                                         Karl K.

"Dorothy, Thank you so much for taking care of this for me. Your shipping department responded as promised. I sincerely enjoy dealing with Brentwood Wine due to people like you caring for your customers. My dealings used to be primarily with winebid.com, but your service and response is certainly more impressive. Thanks again and Happy Holidays." 
                                                                                           Jim A.

"Three cheers to you for all of the improvements to the Brentwood Wine auction site. You have done an admirable job keeping cost down and taking care of your long term customers. Your selection has always been stellar and your opening bid by and large have been most reasonable. I applaud you on all of your fine hard work. This comes at a time when your competitors seem to be taking a much different tack.

Keep up the great work. You're fair, honest and decent method of doing business will pay off in the long run."
                                                                                            Ted H.

"You all have been great to do business with, and that's a good part of the reason I ordered the unit from you. Your focus on customer satisfaction does not go unnoticed."
                                                                                             Bev S.

"Dave, Just wanted to thank you for your note about the condition of the 1975 Lafon Rochet I just received. I appreciate the accurate description of its condition. we have already enjoyed the first bottle of this wine, which I bought in a previous auction. Excellent indeed, and a great value. I was glad to have the opportunity to get a couple more.

While I'm at it, I'd also like to thank you for offering such a good assortment of reasonably priced Bordeaux. At this point I'm trying to stock my cellar with quality wines that I can afford to drink on a fairly regular basis, which currently means the $30-50 range. Keep those Sauternes coming, too!

I've enjoyed buying from you over the last few months, and am already looking forward to the next auction..."
                                                                                            Dave M.

"Have just ordered some Riedel stemware for my sister who lives in Montana (we're in New Zealand at the bottom of the world)... Your site and pricing compelled us to drop you a note of congratulations. Having checked out various other sites via the Riedel  website, yours was a pleasure to behold and use, and we will refer others... Thanks from a couple of Kiwi converts."
                                                                                            Neill R.  

"Please accept my apology for the delay in responding to the auction and the expression of my gratitude for the results which were most gratifying, especially in light of the stock market. The monies will be of great use in the medical missions."
                                                                                           L. Cardin

"Thanks Dave, the customer service at your firm is great!"

                                                                                            Ken N.

"Very innovative, Dave... somehow I've come to expect it from your operation. Congratulations! I shop many online sites, but I continually find myself coming back to Brentwood for the best deals and service in the industry. And I feel I can trust you and your staff. Keep it up... you can win at this game , you know."

                                                                                            Tracey C.

"On a different note... It appears as if you have done a good job in getting the whole shipping situation worked out since last year. I would like to compliment you on the changes you've made. I appreciate getting very timely notices as to when shipments are being made and DHL has been diligent thus far in taking care of shipments. I know we has a few glitches last year with some of my shipments, but this year has run smooth as silk. Cheers!!"
                                                                                             Brian B.

"Your website is unique, because it shows you the wine glass and the recommended wines that should be used for these glasses. Thanks to your website, I got the correct wine glasses. The most important thing that I received was the countless compliments including lots of "WOW" for your glasses. 

Thank you for having such as informative website, for people who don't know anything about wine and wine glasses."
                                                                                            Lee C.

                                                                                          Norm M.

"Dorothy, Thanks for the kind words... often times it is over assumed the friendliness versus courtesy that is extended in a supplier consumer relationship. It is heartwarming to hear from you that indeed you think of some of your unruly charges as friends rather than just customers. It is this same feeling that is essential for me to establish long term relationships with groups like yours.

I believe you and your group to be friends of mine, sharing common love and purpose. I can't tell you how many services, both live and electronic, that I have gone through because of my inability to create a "friends" type relationship. I truly look forward to our communications and appreciate that you are the one on the other end of this line.

Thanks for everything. I look forward to many more adventures that we may share, and many more glorious sips of wine that we will hold as memories.

Tell everyone hello (yeah, like they know me from anybody else!) I appreciate the entire effort that Brentwood always put forth for a small consumer like myself."
                                                                                          Garry B.
