The Gift That Keeps on Giving - in a good way by Robert P. Farmer
'Tis the season to shout at your steering wheel while parked in the lot of the local mall - furious in frustration over what the heck to buy that special someone. Yes, the holidays are here and in the spirit of giving I offer some solace to the confused shopper, yes, I count myself among you.
Whether you've got a wine enthusiast on your list or you just hope to create one, a gift membership to a wine club is a gift they won't soon forget. After all, how could they; the wine will keep arriving periodically at their door for at least the ensuing year. Wine clubs are an excellent way to demonstrate your thoughtfulness while also showing in no uncertain terms your good taste. It's sure to be appreciated with each pull of the cork.
There are countless wine clubs available in Wine Country and dozens
more to found throughout the nation and reachable via the Internet. The
trick is to locate the right club to join - whether for you or on
behalf of your gift recipient. Most respectable wine clubs are designed
to keep members abreast of their favorite wines while offering them
first-look insight into new wines or wines they might not otherwise
find on their own. Most wineries operate wine clubs through which
members are offered first dibs on reserve vintage orders, exclusive
discounts, and invitations to private tastings, classes, and parties.
