About The California Wine Club

Discover great wine with The California Wine Club. Since 1990, it’s been our wine club’s mission to help artisan wineries share their small-batch wines with wine enthusiasts everywhere. At The California Wine Club we happen to think these wines simply taste better than the mass-produced wines that dominate store shelves.

We visit the wineries, meet the families and winemakers behind the wines and then invite them to share their favorite wines with our wine club members. Every wine featured in our wine of the month club comes from a real-working winery. Come join our adventure!

    I notice,you keep swirling, sip. Then more swirling, and sip. But if you are in a party, how should you do it—swirl and sip as often as you can, or just once to look sophisticated and confident?

    • Karen D says:

      Great question! We recommend that you swirl before each sip so that you can enjoy the aroma of the wine. If you want to look like a wine snob, swirl the wine in your glass a good 10 to 12 times before sipping. If you want to enjoy your wine without looking like a snob, one or two swirls will do the trick. Cheers!
