Client Testimonials

“I was referred to Montesquieu by friends this past year. My wine broker is fantastic and has yet to send me a wine that I didn't love, and she is an absolute pleasure. Be careful, this place is dangerous!” – Rawleigh F., Lake Charles, LA 

“I have worked with Montesquieu for three years now. My wine broker has helped me fill my cellar, get great deals that I would have never found on my own and try new wines that I probably would have never tried on my own.” – Bill B., Los Angeles, CA 

“My wine broker Alyssa has broadened my horizons and knowledge of various wine varietals and types. She has expanded my taste buds and opened my palate immensely. As my friends would now say – I truly have one of the most sophisticated wine palates they have seen in recent years. She keeps me abreast of the new and the old ‘goodies’ that are available. Her experience and her taste is invaluable. She makes me the talk of the town. I couldn’t do without her!” – Larry B., West Des Moines, IA

“I was not a wine drinker before I met my wine broker KT. Although I am still not a daily partaker, I have come to appreciate and enjoy some of the finest wines around because of her extensive knowledge and her professional persistence. Montesquieu's ‘special offers’ allow for us to taste delicious wines that we would never have known about or had the opportunity to try. I am a chocolate connoisseur and KT has helped me find great pairings to go with my gastronomical passion. Finally, my friends are wine snobs and with the vast array of wine choices on the market, it can be intimidating to bring a wine gift to dinners. With KT as our guide, now everyone can't wait for us to show up with a new ‘something special,’ including the personalized wine that we purchased from Montesquieu. Thank you KT for your patience and guidance in hand holding me through what in the past has been a very confusing marketplace!”  – Joe H., Dallas, TX

“My wine broker Cherie has introduced me to some amazing wines I'm certain I would have not found of my own volition. I truly appreciate her efforts in finding wines I enjoy.” – Louis C., Las Vegas, NV 

“Katherine has singlehandedly made me a dinner host with an envied wine cellar – which is saying a lot since I live in California. Her careful listening and then swift advice to match me with intriguing, full-bodied and robust Italian and French reds has helped pique my guests' interests, and of course... made the meal just that much more a conversation. I think the one other factor that takes her services up a notch has been the ability to help me infuse the wine with a bit of a story and culture – beyond just the varietal and vintner... stories about those who built the vineyard, and brought the mark to sale, usually round out a terrific wine tasting experience. Thank you Katherine for listening carefully, attentively and respectfully taking my wine preferences up a notch.” – Kirk T., California

“Wine is often described as simply the fermented juice of grapes. There is nothing simple about wine for a romantic. It is an expression of life’s diversity. My tastes are varied. Living in the remote great northwest, with family and a busy practice, does not allow me to adequately seek out artisanal wines. Enter a dedicated and passionate wine broker, Dara. In sync with my lifestyle, palate and pocketbook. My wine cellar has never been so exciting! She has recently suggested that I not keep her a secret. My dear, the ugly truth is that romantics are often selfish.” – Andre G., Anchorage, AK 

“I have had a relationship with Cathy and Montesquieu for about 10 years. This entire time, I have found Cathy to be extremely professional, courteous and fun at the same time. At the very beginning she learned what wines that I like, and would always make sure to call me whenever they were available. Not once have I been disappointed in any wine that I have purchased. Whereas Montesquieu is not the cheapest place to buy wine, it is reasonable. This is especially so because the wines that are presented are not in the stores, and are more boutique in nature. Delivery is fast and reliable.” – Doug B., Land O’ Lakes, FL
