A Private Concierge Service
Our private concierge service includes access to additional labels where we maintain active relationships. All private concierge offerings are based on availability and direct-to-customer shipping laws based on the location of the winery and the location of the end customer. We work with our concierge families to provide the best tasting experience for wine and wine living accessories based on our many years of personal and trade relationships in the industry.
Join our Wine Adventure
Bill and Teresa make their home in Northern Michigan and Southern California’s Temecula Wine Country, occasionally globe-trotting to wine regions when fancy takes them. In 2018 they purchased a small orange farm called Stonewood Farms where they have experimented quite successfully blending orangecello, vermouth and other beverages.

Howdy ya’all from Dallas Texas. Hope you all having a mighty fine day. OMG., Oh dude, I am such a phony, I am a native Californian, raised in the OC.
For now, I’m only California Dream’n.
Last week I walked to Urban Crust,. 15th St. Plano, Texas. Little pizza place has become one of my favorites. Last week I tried a Stone with Pinot Noir, I took in a sniff, ooh that smells yummy. Took a sip and fell in love.
I Googled Stonewood, to find it is a distributor. May I have more information about this particular Pino Noir. I didn’t check the year.
Looking forward to another taste.

Hello Pat – we are a small online DTW wine merchant and private concierge. We are not the winery Stonewood Wine. Sorry we hear their wines are a bit sub-standard as well. We hope it improves. Also visit our property Stonewood Farms @stonewoodfarmz. Cheers!
