These guys had some good (and hard to find) wines at good prices. This sucks:
Dear wine.com customer:
wine.com, Inc. (the corporation) is ceasing operations and the
wine.com website is being transferred to an established and
leading online wine retailer with an excellent reputation for
quality and reliability. We are confident you will enjoy their
selection and service and hope that you will continue to visit the
wine.com website once under new management.
The purchaser of wine.com has committed itself to all of the
protections established in the current wine.com privacy policy and
will continue to safeguard the information you provided to us.
Once again, thank you for your business and loyalty.
Your friends at wine.com

I saw the "forest for the trees" as it were & canceled my monthly subcription a few weeks ago.
Try these guys, they are (IMHO) better & have the B&M to back them up: http://www.klwines.com/

They were acquired
Heh.. actually this is a David & Goliath case...
Wine.com was acquired by eVineyard... a company with about 1/10th of the funding that wine.com had.
Here's the release:
