I joined the California Wine Club when Covid started because I wanted to support the grape growers and wineries as best I could.  Such a noble effort on my part LOL!  I saw it as a chance to get out of my wine rut and try something new.  I have been totally happy with your products and the newsletter Uncorked that you send out.

What a great way to experience many diverse Cali wines, and still support small businesses. Your wine consultants have been pleasant to talk to and quite informative. I'm really glad I found your company.
