FunnyJohn Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'm not sure if this represents an advance of civilization or not. "Ultra, which already operates in the New York City area and Chicago, is launching in D.C. this week, and will deliver any amount of booze to someone for a $5 fee. Customers can log on to Ultra's website,orderultra.com, type in their ZIP code, and scroll the beer, wine, and liquor options." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmoomau Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Apparently it is coming to NOVA as well, which really surprises me given our liquor laws in the Commonwealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMike Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yeah, ditto. But the prices for DC (using Marshall's zip) seem fair, and would mean I don't have to go buy stuff and lug it to his house versus having it delivered around the time I'm going over there...

deangold Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Based on their Italian selection, the selection is mostly crap with a few easy to get wines from big name producers. Just searching on one of the good wines on the ist, Tommassi Amarone {no vintage or designation listed so I'm presuming it to be the DOC Amarone and not the Ca florian" singe vineywar, I can have it from Macarthurs for $57 or $63 vs $90. $67 to $81 for Amarone Allegrini, $99 from Ultra. I guess if you are too lazy to order a day ahead and too flush with money to not mind getting ripped off, its a great place to buy wine!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMike Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 To be honest, if I'm spending more than about $10 on a bottle of wine, I ain't doing it through a site like this. (He says, having just polished off a bottle of Chilean sauvignon blanc that cost like $6 at Glebe Market.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Riley Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Hell, we've delivered liquor, wine, beer, sodas, juice, mixers, ice, etc... in D.C. since 1934! www.acebevdc.com Call me up! I'll beat these people at their own game! 8) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
