We love being members. The service is outstanding, the information is great and the wines are wonderful. The California Wine Club makes us feel like we are part of the California wine scene.

My husband and I are truly enjoying this wine club! We love supporting small wineries and honestly have not disliked any wine that we have received. Thank you for letting us experience California through the smaller wineries!

So far my experience with The California Wine Club has been great. The only issue I had was a leaking bottle in my shipment. However, one call to customer service took care of that. They offered to either include the replacement bottle with my next shipment or they could ship it out right away. I appreciate that I was given a choice and the problem was handled with no questions and no hassles.  I have enjoyed pretty much every wine I have received in my shipment. Thanks for being awesome!
