Today is a big day at Wine Review Online because it marks the "official" debut of our wine club in partnership with JV Wines of Napa.
This idea has been in the incubator for some time, inspired by what Michael Franz and I consider the bane of our existence, the ubiquitous "where do I find that wine you’ve just recommended?" question, which we both field with regularity.
Both of us thought it would be a great idea if we could identify a couple of gems each month and provide a resource that would allow you to find and purchase the wine. At a great price, of course!
So here it is, two wines — a red and a white or two reds — delivered to your doorstep each month for $39. We’ve even made a deal with JV Wines to provide free shipping.
If you aren’t familiar with JV Wines, be prepared to be impressed. With more than 4000 selections at any given time, we have plenty of great wines to choose from each month. What we’re looking for are wines that "over-deliver" on quality for the price.
This month it’s two superb wines from Spain, a red from Rioja and a white from the Rias Baixas. We’ve selected a Napa Valley stalwart, the 2005 Clos du Val Cabernet Sauvignon, and a yummy new Chardonnay from the Central Coast of California, the 2008 Acre Chardonnay, for the month of August.
And this is just the beginning. On top of these superb wines at a fabulous price, club members also will receive a subscription to the WRO Reviews pages for the length of their membership — even more bang for your bucks!
Salute!
