The California Wine Clubs Features: CaWineClub.com

Premier Club
Signature Series
International Selections
Aged Cabernet Series

Created by Bruce and Pam Boring. These wine clubs are something special. 20 years ago Bruce and Pam became exasperated with the effort of sifting through the shelves at the grocery and wine stores trying to find a decent bottle of wine. They realized that most of the time the wines they truly loved were the ones that were recommended to them by their friends and family.

That is what gave them idea for this wine club.

The California Wine Club is your friend in the sunshine state that always recommends sends you the best wine that California has to offer, but Bruce and Pam go one step further. They do not send out wine that is readily available in the stores, instead that tour California’s wine country and visit all those little vinyards that produce wonderful boutique wines, but are not able to distribute them on a large scale. It is these boutique wines, the gems hidden away amongst California’s abundance of vineyards, that The California Wine Club will bring to you on a monthly basis. Read the rest of this entry

Discovery Tour Club
Wines of the World Club
Perfect Pairings Club
90 Point Rated Wine Club

The Discovery Tour Wine Club is, as the name implies, an entry level club for people who are new to wine … although the wine selections are good enough that some use it as a simple means to fill out there wine collection with good yet affordable bottles of wine that they will not feel guilty about popping open after a long day at work. It may not specifically be a California wine club, but it is pretty darn good.

The wine that comes with this membership is selected from all over the world and consists of a very broad range of varietals. The goal of this club is simple – To introduce the novice wine enthusiast to a very broad range of wine region and varieties.

This is an excellent way for you beginners out there to sharpen your pallete while experiencing the wide range of wines the world has to offer … and you can do it all without busting your budget.

With this wine club you will get 2 bottles of hand selected wine for only $29.99 plus shipping. Read the rest of this entry

Here is a thought for those of you who love wine and would like to benefit from the expert selections of wine you gain through a monthly wine club membership, but do not want to be locked into a month to month payment.

Instead why not just purchase from a source that hand selects all of their wine guaranteeing that you will always be purchasing excellent vintages?

This is exactly what you can do at MyWinesDirect.com. There motto is “where every wine is a winner” and that statement is not far off the mark. They only carry high quality wines, but do not take that to mean they only carry expensive wine!

There prices are actually very affordable. They have sourced wines for virtually every kind of wine enthusiast from the budget conscious to the serious collector. It may not be quite the same as actually being a member of one of the many California wine clubs that are available, but it comes close.

And frankly using this option as opposed to a wine club membership will actually give you a lot more freedom over the types of wine that you bring into your home.

So what do you plan to do with all that California wine club (or some other!) that you have been collecting? Some of you may be able to drink it all up pretty fast, but I would guess that most of you will find that the amount of wine coming into your home far exceeds that amount that you can drink. If that’s the case it might just be time to look into a wine preservation and storage system.  As well as a few other accessories.

There are a lot of great places you can go to pick up accessories for your wine collection. Amazon.com has a lot of good stuff for instance, but you may want to consider International Wine & Accessories. Whatever your need is they probably have a solution for you. So what do you need?

When you want high quality service and high quality accessories to go along with your wine IWAWine.com is the place to go. They have partnered with some of the top names in the industry to provide the wine scene with some of the top products in the industry … I am talking about names like Riedel to Le Cache.

High quality products meets high quality innovation. What more could you ask for?

Now here is an organization that knows what wine lovers want. 800Wine.com has been serving the wine scene sine 1998. So what have they acoomplished in over a decade of service? They have built one of the largest distribution networks in the industry, they have partnered with some of the top names in the industry and they have developed one of the most efficient shipping and fullfillment platforms in the industry.

What’s that mean for you?

Simply that when you purchase from 800Wine.com you can expect your wine to arrive FAST and to arrive SAFE … and that is one of the big reasons why we at California Wine Clubs recommends them to our visitors. They have been in the online wine sales business for so long they pretty much have it down to an art form and are able to provide a level of service that some of the smaller guys just cannot match.

800Wine.com has a substantial selection of wine, wine related gifts and accessories, as well as a fabulous wine club which takes advantage of that state of the art distribution platform I mentioned above … It’s not a California Wine Club, but it is just as good!

But don’t take my word for it. Click here to check out 800Wine.com and their wine club for yourself.

Here at California Wine Clubs we try to limit our recommendations to groups that are focused 100% on wine … However we will be breaking that trend with this particular recommendation.

Have you ever heard of GreatClubs.com?

California Wine Clubs Wine and Chocolate Pairings

Wine and chocolate. Wine and cheese. Wine and … a lot of other decadent treats. For me nothing is better than sitting by the fire on a winter night and enjoying a great glass of wine and rich piece of chocolate that have been perfectly paired together. In the summer time I like to sit outside and drink a crisp white wine paired with fresh fruits that will bring the fill range of flavors to life in the wine.

Food and wine have always gone together and they alway will. It is a wonderful treat that is reserved exclusively for us wine lovers who take the time to try to pair our food with our wine … something a surprisingly small percentage o f people do.

Well the folks at MyWinesDirect.com have gone out of their way to make this ‘perfect pairing process’ extremely easy for us. All you have to do is head over to their site and pick out one of their gift baskets that have been expertly packed together with great wine and the tasty little treats that will go best with them.

This is one of my guilty little pleasures and I have a feeling it just might become one of yours. What does this have to do with a California wine club? Nothing! But who cares it’s delicious!
