Wine Clubs, Red, White And Bubbly Delivered Right To Your Doorstep!
Are you interested in wine clubs. What are they exactly? There are two different types that come to mind. First there is the kind of club that meets on a regular basis usually a once a month gathering... sometimes more, to do
wine
tastings as a group. It's fun to compare notes on aromas, taste, undertones, body ect.
If Your Looking For The Kind Of Club That Delivers monthly We Highly Recommend One Of The Three Clubs:

Two people can have completely different opinions about the same glass of the vino. Or sometimes you can be right on par and completely agree as well.
It's always fun to compare opinions. Or are you looking for the typr of club that has you friendly UPS or mail delivery service delivering you a bottle or two on a monthly basis. That's my favorite type of club. Cellars Wine Club is a great place to start looking at wines if you are interested in monthly delivery service.
They have budget deals as well as some highend vino as well. Let's take a look at the other type of vino club first though.
These gatherings can be formally organized by local wine bars, these are fun because you get to meet new people. Or they can be group meetings of your oldest and dearest fellow wine lovers they get together at home to do tastings as well. It's fun to do
wine tasting
when local wineries release new products, whether it's at your local wine bar, at home or at the vineyards.
Doing blind tastings is a great way to enjoy new wines when you have a group to enjoy this with. Hide the
wine labels
than...one easy way is to have everyone bring a bottle, slip them into brown paper bags. Or a more elegant option than brown paper bags is
True Fabrications 25-Piece Blind Wine Tasting Kit for 4
Make sure you seal that tops. Then shuffle them, yes just like the peanut under the cup kind of shuffle. The number the outside of the paper bags, then pour it into the glasses for each taster in the ordered the bags go. At the end of the tasting the wines are revealed. That's usually when the conversations really began. Blind tastings can be really fun.
It's fun to also have everyone have a tasting sheet to jot down notes. Whether your wine clubs consist of two or 22, it's fun to compare notes to see how similar or have differing your opinions were.
When you say wine clubs another type also comes to mind, and that is the one that is my favorite. The one that conveniently delivers right to your doorstep (yes it's like Santa Claus coming 12 months out of the year instead of just once :-) any denomination or combination of bottles of wine to you from a
wine of the month club.
You can have a case delivered, or simply just two bottles or even one if that's what you want. Like only reds? Then choose to have only reds.
Pinot noir fan, some wineries will tailor deliveries to specific varieties that are your favorite.
Like red, white and bubbly? They will do this too. You can have one red, one white, or in the case of a case no pun intended, you can get half and half.
Or you can let the winery decide and have it be a complete surprise month after month.
You can also give a
wine of the month club
subscription for a gift for what ever amount of time you specify. One month, six, one year or pick until I cancel button. I know I would love to receive a year of wine. Hint, hint, friends and family.
I would love this is a present. This also makes a great corporate gift, Christmas, new year's, Halloween, birthday, Easter, Valentine's Day... Did I mention Alisha I would love this as a present!
Lots of wineries have their own web sites and you can sign up for their newsletters to know when their latest releases are coming. Many also have Wine clubs you can sign up for, they send them out monthly.
If you've been on a wine tour and you found some wineries that have fantastic products, this is a great option. Some of the wines I love out of the Okanogan I just can't find in the liquor store here.
So this is a more convenient option than the three hour drive to go back for more. You also get dibs on their new products first, not always but usually. So sit back in your comfy chair by the fire and wait for your wine to come to you!
