Thank you so much for managing every aspect of The California Wine Club and thanks also for the Uncorked issues. We have saved every one of them and love the recipes.

Just received my shipment. I've always noted how much I love the Uncorked. Now, probably even more since my wine drinking days are limited! Barry's on the golf course so I'm sitting back with my feet propped up reading! Yea!

As a relatively new member of the CWC, my wife Melissa and I have enjoyed almost all of the selections for the Signature Series.  When I say ‘almost’, that is not a bad thing.  We love trying new varietals/blends from unfamiliar wineries.  Not all of them are exactly our taste, but that is okay – we are learning as we go, and that is exactly what we hoped for with our membership.  As an over-arching differentiator, your exposing subscribers like us to a wider variety of small growers is great. However, I believe the mission to provide exposure to individuals/families with smaller batch growths is wonderful.  They can continue their passion to provide/pursue the production of outstanding wines which may be over-looked otherwise.  CWC is providing visibility to David against the Goliath’s of the industry… and that is a service to us all – from vineyard to table.
