EXCEPTIONAL WINES OFFERS A TASTE OF FRENCH,
ITALIAN, AND CALIFORNIAN TERROIR

Napa, CA - Many affordable and high quality boutique French, Italian and California wines are often overlooked because of the consumers' inability to access the wines. ExceptionalWines.com has changed that, offering wine consumers access to hand-crafted, estate bottled wines from authentic Domaines and Chateaus from across France, Italy and other premier winegrowing regions.

Exceptional Wines is the brainchild of two avid wine collectors with backgrounds in high technology business management. Withstanding the downfall of the many dot-coms, the founders of Exceptional Wines credit their success to their respect for both innovation and tradition and to their ability to forge long-standing partnerships with quality wine producers.

"Finding wonderful wines, and their makers, is rather like a treasure hunt: you never know where you are going to find them! We read and researched. We hopped in the car and went roving through the French and Italian countryside to find these treasures, tasting vintage after vintage. Most of them were good, but the best of them are listed on our web site," explains Carol Smith, CEO and Co-Founder of Exceptional Wines.

Though the wines may have come by various methods of discovery, Exceptional Wines' roster of producers do share important attributes:
* They produce a limited quantity of premium wines
* They have limited exposure and are genuinely rare in the American market
* They believe in celebrating wine with food
* They have granted Exceptional Wines.com the right to exclusive representation in some or all of the United States

Cellar Master, Co-Founder and gourmet chef, Bruce Smith, explains, "We appreciate a product made more valuable by the personal involvement and investment of its producer, and make the same investment in the standards established for Exceptional Wines.com."

The critically acclaimed web site of Exceptional Wines offers tools and information about the way each wine is made, which foods it pairs especially well with, a dynamic tour of the various appellations, and personal stories from each winery.
