Default Wine Clubs


Anyone here subscribe to a monthly wine club? I subscribe to the Taste
of California Wine Club. $30 a month for two bottles.

I know most people say wine clubs are a waste of money, and I tend to
agree that for $30 I could get three or four bottles of what they send
me. However, the wines are from little-known wineries in California.
These are wines that, being from Ohio, I most likely will never find in
my local wine store.

My thought is that it is worth the money, for the short term, to be able
to experience a variety of lesser-known wines from California. Here in
Ohio the majority of local-grown wines are of the lesser varieties
(Catawba, Concord, and Niagara) so you can't really find Napa/Sonoma
quality bottles from "local" wineries.

In any case, I'm just curious what everyone else thinks of wine clubs,
if there are any that are recommended, or any other advice you might have.

Thanks,

Mike
