The Piazza Discepoli Online Shop
Proprietor’s Picks
Once a month, the partners of Piazza Discepoli Wine Merchants get together over dinner to discuss current business issues, future plans and special wines we have recently tasted. When we all agree a wine is truly ‘special’ for one or more reasons, it is highlighted as a ‘Proprietors’ Pick’. All of these wines are available for purchase through the website and can be delivered right to your doorstep for a small delivery fee. Don't forget, we offer a 10% discount on all internet 12 bottle case purchases (mix & match included)! Here are our current offerings. We hope you find them as special as we do!
