Wine Clubs: 15 Reasons to take the Plunge and Join Today!<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wine Club Benefits<\/p><\/div>\n

1. Convenience \u2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What\u2019s more convenient than having wines show up at your door on a regular basis? Not much. A wine club offers the convenience of having a variety of exceptional wines delivered to you or available to pick up on your next visit to the winery.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Regular Delivery of Wines \u2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A wine club guarantees that a regular delivery of superb wine is delivered within a consistent time frame (usually monthly or quarterly shipping), without the burden of having to select each wine yourself. It’s a curated collection of wines from your favorite<\/strong><\/p>\n

winery.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Try New Wines \u2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Who doesn\u2019t like trying new wines? Sure we all have our favorites, but a wine club ensures that you are getting new and varied wines each shipment. It gives you a chance to find a new experience that you may have not have tried otherwise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Larger Selection than at your local grocery or wine store \u2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Grocery stores usually have a nice selection of wines, but these are the same commercial wines that they know will sell. A wine club often provides a much larger and broader selection of wines than you would typically find in the store. This is done because the wine club curator has more flexibility to select unique, fun, or rare wines, and not be burdened with taking up expensive shelf space. Most wines available through clubs won’t be found in your grocery and store, unless you live close to the winery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Broaden Your Horizons \u2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wine Club-Special Perks<\/p><\/div>\n

If you\u2019re like many, you tend to stick to your tried and true wine varietals. It took a long time for a friend of mine to venture out from big, bold, cabs, but he took a leap of faith and really discovered that he likes Sauvignon Blanc & Riesling almost as much. With a wine club, it encourages you to broaden your horizons, and try new varietals you may never have even known you loved.<\/strong><\/p>\n

6. Perks of Joining a Wine Club \u2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Membership has it privileges, and joining a wine club is no different. Joining a Winery\u2019s wine club will get you exclusive invitations to events, discounts on regular purchases, and more. You receive complimentary tastings on visits to the Tasting Room for you and your guests. This is just a few of the perks you can get.<\/strong><\/p>\n

7. You Get the Best \u2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By joining a wine club, you are putting your money in someone else\u2019s hands to select wines for you. But this isn\u2019t a bad thing. By letting professional select wines for you, you increase your chances of receiving a superior wine. The winery knows their wines like no one else, and you get the benefit! When your Winemaker or Wine Club Manager selects wines for the club, they have to be certain that it\u2019s an exceptional wine that represents the best they offer. It\u2019s good to know that someone who really know wine took the time to carefully try many wines to choose one that meets the club level expectations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. Excitement of New Delivery \u2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Remember how excited you got for Christmas as a child? Rushing down to open your gifts. A wine club is like that except it\u2019s for adults and it happens more than once per year. When you join a club you have new wines to enjoy but also know that you have another shipment on its way to look forward to as well!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

9. First Look at New Wines \u2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the best perks of belonging to a wine club is first looks at new wine releases, limited production releases, and special offerings. Many times these wines are not even available to the general public at all. Wine Club membership will ensure you don\u2019t miss out on these special wines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

10. Discounts on Regularly Priced Wine \u2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wine Clubs offer discounts on regularly priced wine a few ways. Sometimes you are getting 3 wines for less than you would pay if you bought them individually, sometimes the wine is discounted for members only, and other times you get special offers on wines from the winery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

11. Select a Type of Club for your Preference \u2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wine preferences is another great benefit. Clubs come in many shapes and sizes. Some clubs may be low cost, some may be for the seasoned collector, some may focus on a region, and some on a varietal. They key is, you can find a club that focuses on your favorites, or pick one that features wines you aren\u2019t familiar with. Life is better with wine, and clubs are a tool for better enjoyment. Currently we feature 3 clubs to choose from.<\/strong><\/p>\n

12. Education \u2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the benefits of joining a wine club is the exposure to wine in general. Reading up on the wines you receive, you\u2019re going to find out more about the winery, the vineyards, the regions, the varietals, and the vintage. And on and on. You\u2019re also going to learn about yourself and your personal experience with wine.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

13. News Letter \u2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most wine clubs offer a newsletter. Here you will find out about the comings and goings of the winery, the wine world, etc. Central Coast Wineries newsletters show wine club members were you can find out more about the wines featured, and what is going on in the Central Coast Wine Community.<\/strong><\/p>\n
