Spec's Block Label

eaglegrafixMember

I was in Houston this week. Having never been in a Spec's store, I went in one of their stores (not the big one downtown).

I have not idea how they work but I could not get rid of one of the employees. He was pushing their Block label at me really hard.

Has anyone had this wine and is it worth the $15-$20 price points?

I don't know about you Paul but if it's a wine I've never heard of before and a sales rep is pushing it really hard it generally means turn and run away to me.

Exactly...I did not buy any and I generally stay away from any store label. I did find a few bottles I know I like but I thought I was on a used car lot for a moment. I've not been in a wine store that was that pushy.

Being a former Spec's employee (long ago, before they had their own 'block label'), I would encourage you to let the store manager know that you don't appreciate the high-pressure sales pitch. I think Spec's is a great retailer, and they don't need that kind of behavior from their floor guys.

Eagle,

I'm in Spec's (downtown) every month and have never experienced that. As stickman said, I would report next time... but head to the true Spec's on Smith.
