The California Wine Club review

The California Wine Club has worked with small, family-run wineries since 1990, and each month it features different artisan wineries and hand-selects wines for members, with tasting notes and pairing suggestions. There are three clubs: the Premier Series starts at $49, the Signature Series at $134 for limited-production wines, and the Aged Cabernet Series at $269. Members get 20% off when they reorder favorites, add bottles to a shipment or send a gift, and shipping is free on any mix of 12 reordered bottles. The Love It Guarantee replaces a bottle you did not love, members can cancel at any time with no hidden fees, and a referred friend who joins earns you a $50 credit. The club's homepage shows starting prices but not the number of bottles in each starting shipment, so check the plan page before you compare price per bottle. It is a good fit for drinkers who like the story behind small California wineries.
