Be part of the original Wine Club – Original Wine Club of the Month
This IS the Wine Club that started it all—I mean really started wine to your door. The founding feature of the Original Wine Club of the Month is the Classic Series.
Each month I taste over around 300 wines. Through trade tastings, winemaker visits, in-house tasting sessions, and many other venues. I then select the two wines that will be featured in that month’s selections. Working in my father’s wine shop in the 70’s, I used to brown bag and set up the wines each Tuesday for tasting. That is the tradition still—tasting on Tuesday.
I qualify each wine for its representation of what it should be. In other words, a Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County should be distinctively different from that of the same grape and vintage from Argentina.
The Original Wine Club of the Month – How it works
Each month you will receive two vintages of wine (full 750ml bottles). The standard shipment includes a red wine and a white wine. Or choose red wine or white wine only. You may also opt for shipments to arrive monthly. In addition, we offer every other month or quarterly, each chosen for its quality and value. I can tell you that of the around 300 wines I taste monthly, only 15% are approved for potential club selections and then only 1% make it as selections.
Because of our tenure in the industry and our good standing with wineries, we are sought out chiefly by smaller, lesser-known wineries to feature their wines. After all, you don’t need me to find Robert Mondavi or Beringer wines!
Each Wine Club shipment is accompanied by our full-color newsletter packed with information for both the novice and experienced wine taster. It includes winery and winemaker history, recipes, cellaring suggestions, serving suggestions and wine anecdotes to share.
