Jazzwines.com Programs

Shiraz Specialists

To launch, jazzwines.com emphasizes the fastest growing variety of imported wine in North America. New to some, Shiraz provides potential for a lifetime of exploration and depth of quality. It's an age-old grape grown in warm and cool areas to make wine with a depth of techniques and range of styles: From French Hermitage to American Syrah, chewy New World styles and elegant Australians. Our winemaking interviews and wine guide start with Shiraz and develop from there.

Private Selection

Jazzwines.com works with award-winning winemakers to make our own range of wine so that quality-seekers can sample an extraordinary ensemble of taste and learn about grape varieties, origins and winemaking talents. Jazz Wines' private label program includes informative packaging of unparalleled quality, [as shown in our downloadable product sheet]. We work with limited production runs of collectable, numbered bottles that provide details about the wine on the back label with Winemakers' Notes (tm) on the inside.
