VINFOLIO

Post by Roy Hersh »

For the past three years VINFOLIO licensed my TNs for their site and in promotions of Ports they sold.

Recently they opened a unique marketplace for folks to sell their private wines to other collectors directly putting buyer and seller together for a small fee.

Unfortunately, Vinfolio has run into financial disarray http://www.vinfolio.com/thewinecollecto ... e-from.jsp and this took place about 1.75 hours after I provided notice that as of Feb. I was not going to renew our agreement. Anyway, I wish them luck and hope they can turn the business around. At one time, it was a very solid model.

One downside to this , is that consumers are missing out on invaluable TN's .

Sorry to hear about the troubles at Vinfolio. They offer a very comprehensive service and it is clear that they have put quite a few dollars into the operation (maybe a few too many dollars?). I've enjoyed using their service and only time will tell if it will last the test of time.

It is very sad and I hope they are able to survive and recover from this. There business model was unique and seems like a great approach to selling bottles.
