I want to thank you for making my Daughters 50th birthday last all year long.. She and her husband enjoyed and looked forward to receiving these wines every month.

I wanted to say how much we have enjoyed visiting the small wineries through our CWC membership.  For example, on our recent visit to Walla Walla, we spoke at length with both the winemaker and the assistant winemaker at Eternal Wines and a few years ago we had a great tasting and tour of the vineyard with the vineyard manager at David Hill Winery.  It is so great to be able to meet and speak with the people who create the magic.  You are all doing great so far!

We constantly marvel at the noticeable differences between the wines we buy locally and the ones you ship; yours being smoother and more flavorful than almost all we buy locally in the same price range.
