In terms of wine selection, for the past 38 years, Stanford alumni in the wine industry gather annually to select wines for the collection. According tot he website, the tasting panel samples wines from mostly West Coast wineries, whose wines are wrapped and rendered anonymous.
The judges rank the wines on the Davis 20-point scale, and the collection's wines are determined after two hours of tasting.
A browse through the tasting panel recalled a familiar name: Pete Mondavi Jr!
VinoShipper handles all of the Stanford Wine Collection's sales and shipping, which I thought was a smart move by the Stanford Alumni Association to clear their hands of messy regulatory hurdles. (Niftily, on the website, Stanford also explains the 21st amendment and why regulation prevents them from shipping to all 50 states.)
