Some of the reps are a bit hard sell , the guy who comes round to us isn't.
They have wine thats suitable for most paletes but as they come round and you get to taste them you don't buy what you don't like.
Prices tend to be a bit more than you would pay in the shops for similar.
If you decide you don't like a wine they are happy to exchange.
We've been buying from them for over 15 years with no problems.
They try to sell to me, but I'm not easy, since I'm a winemaker.
We paid for a home tasting session with Pieroth, and regretted it. It was advertised as being a tutored educational/entertaining session, but was nothing of the sort. The sales rep (not tutor) knew his stock but not his wines. The most entertaining fib he told was that Pieroth wines won't give you a hangover, no matter how much you drink. When we seemed (politely) unconvinced, he stropped that if we wouldn't believe him he would leave.. which we wouldn't have minded except it was 5 minutes into a session we had paid for!
The wines weren't bad at all and we would have bought some, but we couldn't bring ourselves to buy them from this particular man.
