California Wine Club – Month 1

October 4, 2011 By

Details …

Since 1990, club owners Bruce and Pam Boring have traveled California’s wine country searching for limited-production wines from small, family-owned wineries dedicated to the art of making fine wine.  Whether for yourself or a gift, CWC membership is an adventure in wine tasting that will not be experienced anywhere else.

They journey not only to Napa and Sonoma, but to less-explored wine regions like Santa Barbara, Monterey, the Sierra Foothills and beyond.

Membership costs nothing, you can cancel anytime, and every wine is 100% guaranteed.

More than three-quarters of California’s 2,100+ wineries are small, boutique, mom-and-pop operations whose wines never travel beyond their local markets and private customer lists.  Come discover them with us!

Our Thoughts …

Having wine you didn’t have to fuss over selecting show up at your door is a great experience. And it would get you added to our Christmas card list really fast (if you aren’t there already!) The wines came boxed nicely in a way that would not break on the way here which is added assurance when you order wine as a gift to be shipping. We were sent a Perry Creek Winery ‘Zinman’ Zinfandel 2008 and a Perry Creek Winery El Dorado Chardonnay 2009. The Perry Creek Winery ‘Zinman’ Zinfandel was used in Brian’s pot roast cooking this past Sunday. Don’t worry, we didn’t waste the rest of the bottle of wine … we polished it off that night with dinner.  The flavor the ‘Zinmand’ added the roast was amazing. We are still using the roast for leftovers this week so we get to keep enjoying it over and over and over! We haven’t had a chance to try to Chardonnay but with as busy as our schedule this week, it might be opened sooner rather than later!

 

California Wine Club has a special offer for our readers … Get a 10% discount off a wine club memberships and their gifts using the promo code, simplebudget. If you try out The California Wine Club, use the same promo and not only will they take off 10% off your first month, but they would also send them an extra bottle of wine in your first month shipment as a special joining offer for being one of our readers. There would be no obligation to stay past the first month!
