Testimonials

“I’ve been doing business with your company for over a year now. During that time, I’ve really enjoyed working with Chris Kiegiel. He’s very knowledgeable and a class act. I’ve been collecting wine for over 30 years and have finally found someone who understands what I’m looking for and always comes up with great suggestions. I can call up Chris to share a story I read in Parker, for example, and he always shares my excitement. In short, Chris is as passionate as I am about the wine and that’s really saying something.”

- Paul, March 2018

“Certainly the best personal customer service online. Great selection, reasonable prices, a slam dunk for purveying fine wines! My wine palate has expanded five-fold in the last year, thanks to Sokolin’s amazing selection of Old World wines and New World gems. All bottles handled with care and delivered with proper temperature control. For anything I cannot pick up while I’m tasting at the wineries, I buy from Sokolin. I’ve developed a relationship with my wine salesman at Sokolin to the point where he knows my palate and makes stellar recommendations, based on his knowledge of my preferences and favorite wine regions.”

- Jake, January 2018

“I discovered Sokolin last year while buying fine wines for my daughter’s wedding. Then kept going, buying slowly as Daron sent promotions. Always best-year vintages, great names and fair prices (I checked). Over the past year have bought $40,000 of great wines, starting a superb wine cellar of over 400 bottles. Am delighted where we are, and plan to continue.”

- Mike, November 2017

“Kara DeSantis has simply exquisite taste in wines! She has managed to consistently strike the right tone in terms of taste, style and cost. Corporate and personal gift giving has never been easier with Sokolin Wines and Kara is an integral part of all of this.”

- Julia, October 2017

“I will be blessed with my 35th wedding anniversary next month. Every five years my wife and I have celebrated by sharing a bottle of 1982 Chateau D'yquem, a bottle that has become increasingly hard for me to find. I was afraid our every five years tradition would come to an end this year. But then I discovered Chris Sotirake. Once I shared my story with him he accepted my quest as a personal challenge. Not only did he find the bottle I sought but he was able to offer it at what I consider to be a very fair price. His commitment and level of customer service was truly off the charts. I am honored to offer my unqualified endorsement of Chris and Sokolin and look forward to growing our personal relationship in the future.”

- Ashley, October 2017

“I have been purchasing wines from Sokolin for years—mostly Brunellos and Barolos, and have enjoyed the ease of purchase, the selection, the prices, and the direct relationship with one wine consultant. I highly recommend Sokolin.”

- Mitch, October 2017

“Sokolin has become my go to vendor for difficult to find wines at very attractive prices. I’ve also discovered some new wines that have become favorites.

As an aside customer service by Chris has been great with timely alerts about arrival of purchases and easy storage during periods of bad weather.”

- Fred, September 2017

“A bargain is only a bargain if it offers quality. I like Sokolin because that principal is at the core of its business: Sokolin sells quality. Even so, a business is personified by its employees. In my several years doing business with Sokolin, I have found Chris to be a perfect expression of the company. He is attentive and quickly responsive to questions and requests, and his word is absolutely reliable. I wish more businesses were as well put together.”

- Bernard, September 2017

"I greatly appreciate the professionalism and prompt service that Sokolin Fine Wine Merchants delivers to all its customers, even a smaller one like myself. Kara was right on top of sorting through the logistics of my deliveries in a very timely manner."

- Steve C., September 2017
