When one vintage isn’t enough, you might as well have them all! A is a method of blending across multiple vintages to create balance, or better yet, harmony amidst the imperfections of any single harvest.

isn’t just a wine, it’s a brilliant philosophy and way of life.

Coming soon to a wine glass near you…

A little context here – this is a project by our good friend .zillinger

If you’ve never heard of a it’s a type of winemaking that transcends a single vintage. With each passing year, the most recently produced wine is blended into a barrel that has all of the vintages that have been made previously! In some ways, you could say “the whole is greater than the sum it’s parts”. The complexity gained from this blending technique imparts a savory, tertiary, slightly salty profile that amplifies all of the fruit!

makes whites, reds, sparkling, and rosés! Moral of the story? Drink more wine 😎

There’s nothing like driving up and through the west coast. Thinking back on some of the early days of driving through Napa, seeing vineyard after vineyard, speeding up the 29, windows down – it all felt so magical.

makes some really awesome wines under the label. His Cabernet Sauvignon featured in this month’s wine club keeps much of that magic alive for us. If you haven’t gotten that wine or you need a little more, DM us here or follow the link in our bio!

Getting closer and closer to the launch!

Turns out that wine ISN’T just fun and games, although we’ve still been getting into our regular shenanigans. When we first got into the business, it was all about pulling corks and sipping the juice. Things have clearly evolved, and look a little more like building websites, writing strategies, and handling logistics (there’s always a bit of sipping in between meetings though 😏).

We are in the final stretch, and all this work has been done for one sole purpose – GETTING AWESOME WINES DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR. can’t wait to see that first wine club shipment go out.

Stay tuned for more updates! Bliss Wine Concierge is due to launch any minute now 🚀

Details of João 🚨🚨🚨

This rosado is punchy and lush – who said rosé can’t have this much swagger! The Tavares Rufia Rosado hardly resembles the aperitivo, watery, pale rosés we grew up on (if they can even be compared at all).

Once the weather breaks, you bet and us are pulling corks on this bottle of Portuguese sunshine! 🌞

is a good friend of ours, and his wines – well, drinking those is like a conversation with that friend you haven’t seen in awhile! Pull the cork and it’s like you haven’t skipped a beat, with intrigue abounding and a few good laughs around the corner. These are the domestic wines you need to have around for any good occasion.

With grapes sourced from Napa, Oregon, and Washington, these grapes are west coast through and through!

How do you approach wine pairing?

Austria 2 - evaluating 150 wines in 7 days 06/27/2022

Have you ever tried 150 wines in 7 days? Sometimes trips to scout new winemakers are under a tight timeline. In this video, Alleah talks about how they do that and what she's looking for when she's under a tight schedule to evaluate wines.

If you're an OG Bliss fan, you may remember a few years ago when we launched a special winter wine package for the holidays from Windows Estate.

It was beautiful and limited edition - and everyone who ordered one loved the wines.

We are so excited to bring you a bottle from Windows Estate in our current lineup. It's an amazingly special (is that a word?) feature - we've never had a bottle from Windows in our standard wine club shipments!

This wine is the Petit Lot Mousseux, a sparkling Chenin Blanc that will blow your mind. It's crisp, with notes of apple and incredibly well-balanced. There were only 100 cases of this wine produced in its entirety, so you're really getting a treat!

Our current lineup goes away soon, so make sure you sign up for the wine club and reserve your shipment before it's too late.

We don't bring new winemakers into our wine club fold very often, but last year we added TWO new producers from Australia, who we are happy to say are also featured in our current lineup.

First up is Koerner, a winery based out of Clare Valley, Australia that takes their international training and brings it to the terroir in their home country.

The wine we are bringing to you from Koerner is the Classico, a Cabernet Sauvignon with a splash of Malbec. This is a great wine to have grilled with some burgers and is about as far away as you can get from a Napa Cab.

Have you ordered yours yet?

Our current wine club lineup is kind of a mix-match of some of our top bottles plus a 3-bottle feature from our friend Noel, a US-based winemaker out of California.

Purity Wines is focused on biodynamic and natural wines that are the best type of funk. The flavors are powerful and interesting - crisp and refreshing all around.

We've even got a Pet Nat for you, which is finished in the bottle and we've called "moderately bubbly." It's great for a hot summer day - or any time, really.

This line-up is going away at the end of June, though, so if you're ready to try some stellar wines that showcase some rare bottles in the Bliss repertoire, you've got to reserve your spot asap.

Our Story

In 2013 we sold our belongings, moved out of our apartment, and spent 9 months searching Europe for our first portfolio of wines.

Today we're just as dedicated to finding and importing the world’s best undiscovered wines.

Every wine we evaluate involves an in-depth exploration of the place, people and processes that make the wine what it is.

All of our winemakers use natural, organic vineyard treatments and minimalist winery practices. The pay off is more than just sustainable agriculture and a healthier environment. It also produces better tasting wine! Do you know what chemicals and additives are in the wine you drink?

We only buy wine that is fairly priced to begin with. Our prices reflect the real cost of the wine plus the cost of transportation from origin to the United States and a small markup for us. That means you get a fabulous price on unique, pure and memorable wines.

We taste thousands of wines before we make our selections. The ones that stand out are tasted again and again. The process continues until we've narrowed our selections to the few that embody the best taste, quality and value.

Our wines come from winemakers driven to produce the most pure wine, which means they can only produce small quantities. Small producers get ignored by most wine importers who need to sell large quantities to make a profit. This means they've gone undiscovered in the United States, until now.
