I am new to the wine scene and my fiance Willy was so excited when I finally decided to give it a try. We made Three Brothers the last stop on our tour which was a good thing, had it been first we would never have made it to any others!! The environment, product, staff, EVERYTHING was amazing. We brag about the visit all the time and can't wait to recruit more lovers. I was wondering if you sell your products in any liquor stores in the central NY area, like maybe in a 25 mile radius of Syracuse?? I love your wines but can't always make the travel there. Thanks again for the great time, can't wait to bring the rest of the crew!!!

OWNER'S RESPONSE:
Thanks so much for the positive remarks, Jill! We think we have something very special here and are glad you think so, too! Also, welcome to the wine tasting world- it is a never-ending adventure, revealing to you "secrets of the soil" around the world- have fun with it! We are currently working on increasing our presence in liquor stores, and hopefully someday, grocery stores, in your area. I would suggest you become a fan of ours on Facebook to stay abreast of this information and all other fun that is TBW! Hope to see you again soon!

My friends & I visit your winery twice a year-it is always a memorable experience. You have the friendliest, most knowledgable staff and the atmosphere is fabulous. Your wine is second to none. My personal favorites are "Well Hung" & "69 Ways to Have Fun". I live in Oswego, NY and have always found it frustrating that I couldn't buy it in a local liquor store. Why is that?? Thankfully, you have your holiday free shipping deal. I love to have it around for the holidays for guests or to bring a bottle as a hostess gift. When my recent order came I was SO disappointed to see that it had a screw top instead of a cork! I, like many others, collect my corks in a jar, on my wine rack. I won't be bringing a bottle, as a hostess gift, with a screw top. There are endless reasons why a good bottle of wine should have a cork in it.... I am just curious what made you make the change from a cork to no cork?

Hi Sandy
Thank you for commenting on our website!

When we made the change to stelvin closures approx. a year ago, we did it for many reasons.
1. Bagg Dare wines are all young, fresh aromatic wines. As you can see from this article, using a Stelvin is definitely suggested if you want to keep these characteristics in your wines... which we do. (http://www.luxuryweb.com/html/cork_vs__stelvintm.html)
2. We want our wines to be the same, fresh, consistent wines as they are the day we bottle them.
Here's another article arguing the pros/cons of stelvin vs. cork.

3. We wanted to prevent cork taint.

I could really go on forever in this regard, but these are our major reasons. I like popping the cork on a bottle of wine as much as the next girl, but would hate to miss out on some really beautiful wines just because they aren't corked. We still have a long way to go on the stigma surrounding Stelvin Closed wines in the US, but I think if you open up your heart, there is plenty of room for both! You could bring your Stelvin closed bottle to the party and impress your pals with your newly found knowledge in this regard!

P.S. Both Bames and Andrews sell our wines in Oswego!
Thanks Again, Happy Holidays!

I have been on a few wine tours in the last few years and have to say that we ALWAYS have a great experience at TBW. Our favorite is Bagg Dare. So much fun!!! We love several of your wines and was wondering if you sell any wines in the liquor stores? I was told by a local liquor store that you do sell out of a store in the Rochester area. Could you let me know which one. Would very much appreciate it. Thank You

We had a great time at your winery over Halloween weekend. We were with Paulson tours and it was the highlight of the weekend! We will definetly be back. I bought some jewelry at the Passion Feet winery, and would like to know if I would be able to purchase more on line or by telephone. Thanks!

My friends and I had a fabulous time at your winery yesterday. We absolutely loved Bagg Dare. All of the wines we tasted Bagg Dare were fabulous. We all bought shirts to wear Bagg Home. The dive bar atmosphere was such a pleasure. All of the staff were fun energetic and helpful. I bought my husband a bottle of Well Hung. He drank it last night saying he hoped it worked. Don't change a thing!!! Bagg Dare
