WCI here again… welcome back.

So far, we’ve talked about a variety of wine clubs, with the majority being “Winery” clubs… clubs operated by an individual winery, selling only wines from that winery. Today, I’d love to tell you about another great find!

On our way out of Napa (headed for Sonoma, which, I know, I know, is a terrible sacrifice), we drove north through Calistoga, and came upon the Wine Garage (www.winegarage.net), located in, yes, you guessed it, an old garage just south of the Petrified Forest turnoff to Sonoma.

We’d heard rumors of this place, and so, still having a little room in the car for more wine, we stopped in.

Let me tell ya, this place is cool! Their “grabber” is that no wine in the store is sold for more than $25/bottle, even if it’s worth more.

Todd, the owner, searches the valley (s) high and low for great and interesting wines, buys the lot, and passes the savings on to you, by pricing the wine between roughly $10 up to $25 per bottle… this is an awesome wine club gift opportunity!

Their wine club works a little different, as well, as you tell them basically whether you like rad, white and mixed, and every few months, they send you 6 bottles of small lot, interesting wines that you just can’t find in most wine shops. They also guarantee the wines they send you: if you don’t like them they’ll buy them back from you or exchange them.

One of the other cool things is that you can order quantities of ones you like, all at a good discount.

Their variety is really amazing, and though they don’t have the “big” name wines (usually because they are priced prohibitively) the ones they have sent me stack up great, at a fraction of the cost. They’re maybe not the most famous, but they are well crafted wines destined for good things, including my wine cellar!

I highly recommend the Wine Garage, so check them out and tell them WCI sent you!

Tomorrow, we take the dusty wine roads over to Sonoma!

Cheers,

WCI
