Customer Testimonials

Premier Wine, Fine Wine and Rare Wine
“I am a consumer who enjoys the diverse selection and price range of wines offered by Sokolin…our exposure to the breadth of selection of fine wines from foreign producers is somewhat limited. Sokolin opens up a new venue to acquire these wines. Service and responsiveness is A+. Their representatives, I work with George Stagani, are knowledgeable and most important, candid when asked about any given wine. I recommend folks consider Sokolin as a source for fine wines.”
– Paul, May 2013
“George, I love the emails you send and your shipping and customer service is excellent.”
– Kyle, April 2013
“You guys have excellent service!!!”
– Christine, March 2013
“George, you are wonderful! Thanks to you, we celebrated our 30th anniversary with wine from the year we were married. If the order had arrived after our anniversary, it would not have been the same. Your kindness was greatly appreciated. Looking forward to many more wonderful years of marriage and Sokolin wine!”
– Karen, March 2013
“Thanks so much! You all are great!”
– Mary-Frances, March 2013
"Our experience with Sokolin over the last 9 years has been nothing short of exceptional across the board. My husband always appreciates Daron's emails with wines available specific to our "wish list". The wines always arrive in perfect condition, and timely. On the flip side, we have also sold many wines to Sokolin. Josh has always provided accurate, professional, and seamless transactions. He has made each conversation feel as though it was the highest priority. The communication and customer service over the years has made our experience enjoyable each time. My husband and I are grateful customers, and look forward to always turning to Sokolin for the best wine solutions. It’s a great team of people who care. Thank you very much; it is always a pleasure doing business with you."
– Nichole, March 2013
“George - Thank you so much for the outstanding customer service!!! I will use you again! You have won me over!!”
– Celyna, February 2013
“The wines were great! I liked all of them and our guests were very pleased. Thank you again for all your help and thank you for the book.”
– Mayra, February 2013
“Thank you very much and it has been a pleasure doing business with you. I sincerely appreciate your professionalism and assistance throughout the process. Again, my thanks to you and your staff.”
– Shirley, February 2013
(A Client Who Recently Sold Her Collection to Sokolin)
“I do love how you guys find good values. I rarely have the time to do a lot of research and I don't drink a lot of wine. But when I do, I want a good one.”
– Paul, February 2013
“The level of expertise and professionalism of the consultants is remarkable. In addition, you will find the competence of the shipping staff to be outstanding. And as for the wine selection.... it is exceptional; both in terms of breath and quality. If you want to purchase exquisite wine, Sokolin is the best partner you could hope for.”
– Louis, January 2013
“My wife and I have been both a casual consumer of wine and casual user of Sokolin’s website for many years. At my home, we tend to drink a few bottles of wine a week on average. We focus on finding new wines we can enjoy and that can be purchased easily and at a good value. I tend to order a case at a time, half to drink now and half to cellar. Typically half of each case is either new wines to sample, or reorders that we previously drank and enjoyed. This is made so much easier by the personal attention provided by Wine Consultant, Sherri Sulkowski. Sherri breathes life into the website and the catalogues by graciously contributing her ever-growing knowledge of Sokolin’s extensive inventory. Through our many conversations Sherri knows what types of wine I have already purchased and enjoy, what I may be considering, and most importantly for me, the cost range within which to suggest something new for me to order. As someone who has a deeper interest wine knowledge than I do pockets to buy it, I am extremely thankful to have a personal liaison between the bottled liquid sanctuary that Sokolin Wine has acquired with me in mind, and my endless desire to acquire it, albeit slowly, from them.”
- Shaun, January 2013
“Everything was perfect. I will definitely order from you all again. Thank you!”
– Jessica, January 2013
“Denise, I want to personally thank you for all the help that you give me AND my family when it comes to our wine purchasing. You have made it so easy not only to buy the wines we love but your encyclopedic knowledge of all the wines you sell AND your amazing ability to listen and understand our tastes have opened us up to wines we have never experienced before. You are truly an asset to Sokolin and wine lovers everywhere!”
– Alex, December 2012
“My boss loved the wine – thanks. You’re my hero.”
– Barbara, December 2012
“I received excellent service and you were a big help to me.”
– Frances, December 2012
“I have been storing wines at Sokolin for a couple of years now and have been very satisfied with the service. Matt always responds immediately to my requests by email or telephone and has never failed to come through on a commitment to make a delivery on a date certain."
– Arthur, December 2012
“You and your team are always responsive, and I recommend IGW to my wine buddies. Keep up the good work!”
– Patrick, December 2012
“Great job with your customer service, George. It is most appreciated. Thanks again for all your help with these orders and the ‘09 Bordeaux!”
– Kerry, November 2012
“Daron- YOU are BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VERY IMPRESSIVE and very much appreciated.”
– Deborah, November 2012
“It was our pleasure doing business with you and your company. You and your team made this whole process easy and painless.”
– Ronald, October 2012 (A Client Who Recently Sold His Collection to Sokolin)
"Sokolin has a great selection of wines from all over the world. They have very knowledgeable staff, good delivery options and their website is one of the best I know. But what really distinguishes Sokolin is their customized service: George Stagani has been a great help to me in finding the wines I like at a very good price."
– Fred, September 2012
“I have been extremely pleased with the service and the products from Sokolin, especially from Jeff Gordley. I started working with Jeff when buying 2009 Bordeaux futures in 2010. Every purchase has been delivered on time, in perfect condition and at great prices. Thanks Sokolin for helping make my cellar what it is today!”
– Bob, September 2012
“I have been storing large quantities of wine at Liquid Asset Storage for several years and have been extremely satisfied with their service and reliability. In particular, Matt is very customer-focused and willing to go out of his way to provide terrific, prompt service. He is a true pleasure to deal with and makes the storage and retrieval of wines simple and painless. Kudos to Matt for doing a great job.”
– Bruce, August 2012
“If you’re looking for a merchant that has a vast selection of wines, and a wine expert to help guide you with your selections, then Sokolin is the place! I’ve developed an excellent relationship with my sales broker Nick Naddeo, and he’s always emailing me the newest arrivals & cellars before they make it to the email blast. He always responds in a timely fashion, and is very helpful with answering any wine questions that I may have. Jill in shipping is also exceptional at handling all the details of my deliveries, and making sure my wines arrive on time and in great condition. I’ve had nothing but a great experience with Sokolin.”
– Dave, August 2012
“Sokolin Wines provides me a level of service that is unmatched in the industry. Christopher has a wealth of knowledge that astounds me. He always has the inside line on any wine that he has offered me. He has great patience in answering all my questions and following up with every detail. I would recommend them to anyone looking to develop a collection or just looking for a gift.”
– Tom, August 2012
“I have been purchasing wines from Sokolin for more than 5 years and always have received superb service! Thank you George for your patience and time!”
– Alfredo, July 2012
“Sokolin and George Stagani do a great job of sending me sales information on the wines they/he know I like. I get very good updates on private cellar sales as well as other specials Sokolin is running specifically on the wines of interest to me.”
– Mark, July 2012
“I have been a satisfied Sokolin customer for many years and have always been very impressed with the time Daron has taken to understand the wines I enjoy drinking and to target his offers accordingly, rather than simply clogging up my inbox with wines I don't like. Sokolin's access to hard-to-find wines in larger formats is second to none in my experience. The overall Sokolin experience has been very professional - wines have always in great condition and arriving in a timely manner.”
– Duncan, July 2012
“Knowing that my phone calls, e-mails, text messages would be returned to me directly by Matt made dealing with Liquid Assets an enjoyable experience.....which is still ongoing. Entering into purchasing a large collection, something I had never done before, was a bit anxious for me. Turning a hobby into a business venture at my age was a nerve racking experience. However knowing my requests would be honored with the highest form of professionalism, as well as with such a friendly, honest, trustworthy manner made my life much easier.”
– David, July 2012
“I have been working with Sokolin for several years now and could not be happier. I am a wine drinker, not a wine collector. True, I buy wines and save them for later years but with the intention of drinking them, not keeping them in a museum. What I like most about working with Chris is that I can trust and rely on his opinion. Over several years, we have talked about what I like and how palates evolve and change over time. He has been able to guide me to some fantastic wines at very reasonable prices. Anyone can buy a great wine at a high price. For me the trick is to find that same treasure at a reasonable price and that is what they do so well.”
– John, June 2012
“My experience with Sokolin has been impeccable, from my first contact when looking for a cult Pouilly Fume to my last rare Brunello. The service from my knowledgeable wine concierge, George Stagani, is prompt, attentive and friendly. For me wine is a pastime that I expect to be fun and pleasant, Sokolin responds to all my expectations.”
- Alfonso, June 2012
“I am not a collector and I may have more wine than I need, but I always look forward to Sokolin's e-mails because of the bargains they offer and the attention they provide- particularly from George Stagani, who will call me immediately if there is a question about quantity or delivery. I also appreciate the ratings information, which is preferable to walking into a store and seeing a sign that says one of their employees likes a certain wine. Sokolin has been a godsend for a person who does not live in a metropolitan area.”
– Brandt, June 2012
“I have been a client of Liquid Asset Storage for many years. I can honestly say that it is one of the best consumer experiences that I have. The ability to interact with Matt via email or phone is priceless and I can't conceive of my storage situation without Matt there to both guide me and assist me in my regular needs. He is the epitome of what one should expect in a client relationship-smart, courteous, timely and above all nice. Liquid Asset Storage should be proud to have a world class employee like Matt.”
– Harvey, June 2012
"I've been working with Sokolin for over four years and the experience has been tremendous. In addition to providing an amazing selection, the prices are right, and the level of expertise is unmatched. The service team is great and my personal advisor, Jeff Gordley, goes out of his way to find me the types of wine I like. David Smydo has gotten on the phone with me himself when I'm looking for the right bottle of wine as a gift. I don't buy wine anywhere else."
– Joseph, June 2012
“Sokolin is the best. I’m not a wine connoisseur so when I ask for their recommendations, they are right on target, no matter the price point. They have been my wine merchant for over 20 years, and I have never been disappointed.”
– Joel, June 2012
“I do also want to say that my experience with Sokolin has been exceptional. Thank you very much for such great service and I do hope we continue to work together on future business.”
– Martin, June 2012
(A Client Who Recently Sold His Collection to Sokolin)
“Sokolin has been a great company for me to turn to for both my own cellar as well as for gifts for clients and friends. Whether for cases of easy drinking summer whites or hard to find 100 year old Madeira, David Geaney and the Sokolin team have been exceptionally resourceful and knowledgeable. Wine aficionados of all levels should take advantage of their expertise and professional service.”
– Kyle, May 2012
“I'm so impressed with the level of service at Sokolin. I look forward to utilizing you for future rare wine purchases.”
– Susan, April 2012
"The people at Liquid Asset Storage are wonderful to deal with and I can’t imagine storing my wine anywhere else. Matt Nowakowski and his team have done a great job keeping track of various deliveries and always keep me up to date on what’s been received. And it’s never a hassle to get a few bottles sent to my apartment or a case picked up, even on a moment’s notice. The convenience is great, but more than that, Sokolin runs a very professional organization, which is so important when it comes to trusting your wine collection is being taken care of."
– Paul, April 2012
“The service that Matt has provided at Liquid Asset Storage has been second-to-none. The consummate professional who is always accessible, Matt is always one step ahead of taking care and managing your collection. When buying and storing fine wine, two things matter: (1) provenance and the conditions in which your collection is stored and treated; (2) customer service. Matt has helped deliver both with his services at LAS. I had an incoming shipment of wine that was to be added to my collection, and Matt adroitly alerted me that the sender had sent a soiled product – within minutes Matt had pictures sent to me. Matt was looking out for me and managing my collection. Now I only deal with Sokolin and Liquid Asset Storage.”
– Michael, April 2012
"I have purchased wines from Sokolin for many years. During this time, I have developed a close working relationship with Jeff Gordley. No matter what I have asked him to find, he has always been able to get what I have been looking for. It never ceases to amaze me that he is able to supply such rarities as Deus ex Machina, 2007 in case quantities! As you may remember, Robert Parker listed this wine as the one to drink if it was his last bottle to drink. If one is choosing one dealer to work with it is Sokolin and if one does, I don’t think you will need any other dealer."
– Sal, March 2012
"Moving from wine drinker to novice wine investor can be an intimidating undertaking. George Stagani and the Sokolin team with their no-pressure, informative and educational approach have made this experience a pleasure. When you also consider Sokolin's buying power, I feel that I have found a valuable partner for my personal and investment wine purchases."
– Ralph, March 2012
"I have found Sokolin to be one of the most efficient and knowledgeable companies that I do business with in any arena period, let alone as a counterpart for wine futures and everyday wine purchases. Jeff Gordley in particular makes the wine buying experience one filled with deep knowledge of wine and its collectability as well as fantastic opinions on wines drinking well currently. The Sokolin experience is second to none!"
– Brent, March 2012
"My scope of interest is extremely narrow.....Burgundy ..... This affords me the opportunity to know these wines extremely well. As a result I can speak with authority. Without question, Sokolin is the best source. Most of all, I have great confidence in the provenance of their selections. Equally important is the excellent range and value that they offer. Finally, while not a significant buyer in other areas....I feel confident that an exceptional job is done as well elsewhere. Over the years I have accumulated a great collection......thanks to Sokolin."
– Joe, March 2012
"It was I who noticed the first catalogue from Sokolin which got my immediate attention. It was so classy and elegant. The catalog is arranged in a stylishly simple form with enough written explanation concerning a particular wine to be informative and interesting. We both pay attention to your Robert Parker and Wine Spectator ratings as well as wines that read "a favorite of the Sokolin Family or a wine the Sokolin Family had for Thanksgiving." There have been many wines we have received from you that we would have never thought of purchasing on our own. Many have become great favorites. Certainly Washington, DC has great wine stores and we are totally mobile people. Nevertheless, we keep coming back to Sokolin which has become our premiere source for excellent wine. Your staff is amazing…We have never had a problem with service… I prefer catalogues rather than going to the Internet. I enjoy sitting down at the table and perusing a catalog with a cup of tea (or perhaps a glass of wine) rather than sitting at a computer…Sokolin has brought so much pleasure to our knowledge and enjoyment of wine. We look forward to many more years of excellent Sokolin wines…"
– Sue, March 2012
"Sokolin offers an amazing experience with wine purchasing. Their quality selection is second to none (from back vintages to Bordeaux future offerings) and their customer service is exceptional. Sokolin's wine experts have been a valuable asset in my wine purchasing and really set them apart from other wine retailers. They are extremely knowledgeable and tailor their advice to your specific needs and tastes. Their advice and recommendations are very important in my wine purchasing. Whether I'm buying wine for enjoyment, entertaining or investment, Sokolin’s wine experts have been extremely helpful in that process. It's like having a personal sommelier!"
– Jeff, March 2012
"In the event that any future customer may wish a referral I hope you will feel free to cite me as a satisfied customer. Your conduct and that of your colleagues have been exemplary throughout all phases of negotiation and transaction. Please accept my personal thanks for your involvement in particular."
– Stephen, March 2012
(A Client Who Recently Sold His Collection to Sokolin)
"When one is buying fine wine, three things matter: (1) provenance and quality of the product; (2) access to the best producers; (3) customer service. After working with other national and international wine retailers, I now only deal with Sokolin. Every bottle of wine that I have ordered has been delivered in pristine condition, with attention to the smallest detail - whether it be original release paper wrapping or original wooden cases. Jonathan Muscatello is always available around the clock to help match customers with the best wine available at the most competitive price. Jonathan also possesses a terrific palate, and has introduced some of the most exciting wines I have ever tried. Sokolin and Jonathan are the one-stop for serious wine buyers."
– Michael, February 2012
"Sokolin has made searching and shopping for those hard to find and highly sought after wines very easy. The timely email alerts, great prices and very responsive and friendly sales team -- Sokolin is hard to beat!"
– Troy, February 2012
"Sokolin has consistently provided me with exceptional service, terrific pro-active suggestions and offers that are incredibly well-tailored to my preferred tastes in wine, rapid and responsive answers to my specific requests, great access to the wine auction market, and very competitive prices. I wouldn’t possibly consider working with any other dealer."
– Christopher, February 2012
"My wine arrived today - as always, the service from your staff, and follow thru have been top notch. Sokolin has never let me down, the selection is always varied and often has things that I cannot find in other venues. Keep up the good work!"
– Glenn, February 2012
"Sokolin has introduced me to the world of wine, both as a consumer and as an investor. Their guidance and attention to detail is extraordinary. I recommend their expertise across the board for all wines at all prices."
– Joe, February 2012
"I've recommended Sokolin to numerous friends across the US. Price is just the starting point; selection and service (including shipping price and flexibility) make the difference."
– David, February 2012
"I like getting Sokolin emails!! I find them informative and they put me in touch with some wines not locally available to me."
– John, February 2012
"I really enjoy doing business with a company as reputable as yours. You always do a great job for me."
– Bill, February 2012
"The team at Sokolin is the best. Their wine knowledge & customer service is exceptional. I have recommended you to several friends."
– Tom, February 2012
"You are my sole source for any wine worth cellaring!!"
– David, February 2012
"Just wanted to thank you again for all your help and wine recommendation. Several of our clients (who know wine) have complimented our gift purchase. I truly appreciate you not being a "sales agent", just trying to make a sale and the fact you made such great efforts to help me choose a nice bottle!"
– Yvonne, January 2012
"Sokolin is the only place I order from at this point. They have everything I want, and can get anything I request, usually within days. After Jonathan's retraining of my palate, I find myself unable to drink wine at anyone else's house, unless they are an avid collector. He's shown me the real world of wine."
– Paolo, January 2012
"Thanks again for your great attention to detail and follow up. While I understand it is what you do, there are many service related people who don’t take the time to make notes, follow up etc! It makes a huge difference to me and I thank you for the great service."
– Steve, January 2012
"Thank you for such superior customer service."
– Tim, December 2011
"Thank you, Daron, you guys always do a great job."
– Dave, December 2011
"Thanks for great customer service. You guys are in a class by yourselves."
– Mark, December 2011
