{Giveaway} The BEST Holiday Gift is WINE!(CLOSED)

October 14, 2011 By Rhea

spacer Gosh, I haven’t done a wine review post in a while now, have I?  I’ve picked up a few bottles here and there but just haven’t gotten my reviews to you.  I’m a bad wino.  But, today, I have something worth sharing and it’s VERY exciting!

I am being given the chance to experience a three month membership from the California Wine Club!

Premier Membership

Each wine club shipment includes two bottles of award-winning wine and our detailed and beautiful 12-page, full color publication, Uncorked. Uncorked offers an up-close and personal look at the family behind the wines plus tasting notes, recipes, wine luminary interviews, games and so much more.

Let’s face it, having kids can be stressful.  Some days I really look forward to having a glass (or three) of wine after the kids go to bed so that I can unwind and just enjoy the silence.  But, I really do not know that much about wine.  I only know I like to drink it!

The California Wine Club helps to take the guess work out of buying wine.  Instead of standing and staring and hundreds of bottles, the experts at California Wine Club pick your wine for you.  They work directly with the wineries ensuring that you get a quality bottle of wine…not close out or discounted left overs.

And you can buy this gift of wine for the ones you love!  (or me…)

spacer I can’t tell you how excited I was when my wine came this month.  It was like Christmas!  I am quite embarrassed to admit that I drank down my bottle of Perry Creek El Dorado Chardonnay in one sitting.  *blush*  I’ve always claimed to not even like white wine, but this Chardonnay was so delicious that it was gone and put in the recycle bin before I could even get a picture of it!

The bottle of Perry Creek “Zinman” Zinfandel lasted a bit longer since it wasn’t quite as sweet as I had hoped.  It seems I am learning that I actually LIKE quality white wines but prefer the “cheap” red’s.  Go figure.

Did you know that Zinfandel’s are red?  I had no idea since I had only ever seen white zinfandel (which is pink).

Being a member of the California Wine Club is educational!

I love the Zinman bottle, it is really fun.

Being a member of the California Wine Club is really fun.  I look forward to what is coming next.  I love reading Uncorked and expanding my knowledge of wines and food pairings.

 

There’s an App for That!

The California Wine Club has a new wine pairing iPhone app that looks really cool.  It’s currently FREE (won’t be forever) that helps you find wine pairings for your food.  I will be downloading it this week and I’ll let you know how I like it!

California Wine Club Promo Code!

The Premier Club membership price is $36.45 (plus shipping, taxes) but by using the Promo Code 23monkeys you can get 10% off!  In addition, if you sign up for the Premier Club membership and use this promo code the California Wine Club will give you an extra bottle of wine…(on your 1st shipment) for free!  (Cancel anytime, no obligation to stay past the first month)
