We just opened the Six Peaks 2018 Pinot Noir, and it was very good and well balanced. I’m always impressed with your customer service and true interest in what you are doing.

I just have to say how much I appreciate the excellent service I have received year after year from The California Wine Club. I love the summer sale email reminders and being able to communicate so quickly and efficiently over email is an asset.
