"Surprises" $155 Monthly Wine Club
The "Surprises" level clubs are hand-picked by the manager every month (essentially each trio is unique, and no 2 members receive the same wines). Only top tier favorites are selected. Exceptional bottles, benchmarks, true terroir, all brought into the shop in very limited quantities & presented with info sheets.
Please choose a curation theme from the packages listed (each is equally terrific):
THE CLASSIC TRIO / MANAGER PICKS (3 btls): The classic Surprises trio. Perhaps a Crémant, a Chablis, and an elegant Sonoma Coast Pinot? Always a rotating assemblage of styles, types, regions, varietals and winemaking - but consistently clean expressions and bottles that punch way above their weight class.Â
OLD WORLD RED TRIO (3 btls): Three reds a month from the old world, specifically highlighting medium to fuller bodied bottles from Italy and France with appearances from Spain, Portugal and perhaps even more. For the lover of all things Nebbiolo, Bordeaux, Chianti and Rioja.
THE CLASSIC TRIO / MANAGER PICKS (NO BUBBLES) (3 btls): Same info as above but just no bubbles! Instead of bubbly, you will receive two whites or two reds, or perhaps a rose or a very elegant skin contact. If you do receive two whites for example in any given month - they would be two very different white wines.
WEST COAST DREAMIN' TRIOÂ (3 btls): Same info as the Classic Trio but all the wines will be from California and Oregon (with a dash of Washington state). We have an excellent selection of Burgundian-influenced producers based in some of the west Coast's coolest locations - expect stellar Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc with an occasional traditional method bubbly and Bordeaux styled red blend.
CHAMPAGNE CLUB DUO (2 bottles): Two bottles of true Champers each month with a focus on grower producers, low to no dosage, extended lees aging, and under-the-radar gems. Blanc de blanc, Blanc de noir, classic blends, an occasional rose. Order the fried chicken & oysters and invite over a few friends.
MINERAL-DRIVEN WHITE TRIO (FOR SANCERRE LOVERS) (3 btls): A trio of crisp, mineral white wines for the fans of all things Sancerre & Chablis who want to slowly expand into other grapes, regions, and countries. Expect volcanic wines from Hungary to Sicily, vibrant bone dry Riesling from Austria to the Finger Lakes, and impressive alternatives to those pricy Burgundies & Loire Sauv Blancs.
