Tips for Choosing a Club

• Read the description carefully - it tells you what kind of wines to expect (reds, whites, mixed, etc.).
• Compare tiers - higher tiers often include more bottles, better wines, or bigger discounts.
• Check fulfillment options - if you live nearby, local pickup saves on shipping costs and lets you visit the tasting room.
• Look for member benefits - some clubs offer tastings, discounts, or event access that go well beyond the wine itself.
• Consider the billing frequency - weekly and monthly programs bring your items more often; quarterly ones bring larger shipments less frequently.
