Vinado.com, online retailer of superior imported wines, announces their launch with a wine tasting extravaganza at the W Hotel on June 22nd, 2006 at 6 p.m. The event will feature exclusive wines from around the world paired with a gourmet tasting menu, live jazz from some of Seattle’s top musicians, and a visual presentation inviting each guest into the Vinado.com experience of international adventure and flavor.

Vinado.com wine experts travel the globe in search of exceptional wines. They are dedicated to providing consumers with a unique wine buying experience in which consumers are able to taste and learn about the wines at local events, and then purchase them online, at reasonable prices, for delivery direct to their doorstep.

Vinado.com will expand into 18 markets over the next 2 years and will bring this event driven model to each market it enters.

Vinado.com will launch its site on June 15th. Many of the wines Vinado.com carries have been rated at 100 points by Robert Parker, Wine Spectator and other major reviewers. Vinado.com is planning such events as the “The 100 Event” in which only wines that have been rated at 100 points are sampled.

The W Hotel event will be followed by bi-monthly wine and food pairing events at different locations throughout the greater Seattle area. Each event will highlight different wines and their countries of origin, as well as exquisite food, ambience, and entertainment. Attendance at the W Hotel event is expected to reach 500 people.

The Vinado.com website also offers more than just a way to buy high quality imported wine at great prices. Visitors to the site are invited to join in the adventure of international travel and wine exploration through the writings of their globe-trotting correspondents. Descriptions of the wines, and of the people and places they encounter, are presented with vivid and intriguing detail, such as to invite the reader into the experience.

Other features of the site include a state-of-the-art wine recommendation system, which gauges the wines you have sampled or bought and develops an understanding of your palate. Your reviews of wines, your tasting notes and your purchase patterns will affect this system, which soon develops an astoundingly accurate profile of your preference. Vinado.com will offer a comprehensive education system that tracks your progress and is test oriented to ensure you have command of the basics. Vinado.com will have many extraordinary personal management features which allow you to plan your own parties, invite your friends, plan your menu and coordinate which wines will pair with your ideas.
