DBW Wine Club:

The Offices of Special Programs of the Department of Beer and Wine are pleased to announce an exciting new wine program. Launching in the Fall 2020, the DBW Wine Club will bring its members the joy of exploring the world of wine by showcasing a collection of sustainably farmed and skillfully made wines we are crazy about.  We are fortunate to have access to, and on a daily basis be able to taste, some of the world's finest wines and we are so looking forward to sharing a few of them with you each month.  

So how will the DBW Wine Club work? And what can you expect each month?

To begin with, this is not the kind of wine club you've likely seen a sponsored ad for on social media. One that promises to deliver the perfect value wine for you based on an algorithm developed by a computer.  As cool as a computer picking wines sounds, it’s just not what we are necessarily interested in starting.  The DBW Wine Club, rather, is more of a conversation and a mutual exploration of the continuously evolving world of wine with our customers.  Each month will have a specific theme to the wines and focus on subjects, like old world vs new world wines, wines made by women and people of color, local wines, and most certainly natural wines.  Members are encouraged to provide feedback on the wines that will be used to tailor the wine selections in subsequent months. 

There are several different wine club options to choose from that vary in style and in the amount of wine you will receive each month. You can sign up for multiple packages, and if you prefer to drink only red, or only white wines, we have an option for that, too. During the warmer months there is a rosé wine only club, and there will always be an option to add gourmet items or one of our spectacular flower bouquets (when available).  Delivery is free if you are not able to pick up the wines in person (within delivery range).   With plenty of options to choose from, club memberships make a great gift for the wine enthusiast in your life.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

DBW Wine Club members will be charged on the 1st of the month and the wines will be ready for pickup during the second week of the month.  Because of the ever changing delivery schedules of distributors at the moment due to COVID-19, we may not be able to get all the wines in stock for wine club members by the 1st of each month, so we appreciate a few days to make sure all the wines are available before pickup or delivery.  Each month an email will be sent to members letting you know when the wines are ready for pickup, as well as give you the option of scheduling delivery or adding a flower bouquet or cheese / charcuterie / gourmet items at an additional charge.  The monthly email will provide a choice of what gourmet items are available. 

The global pandemic has brought many challenges for retail shops like ours, but one of the bright spots has been the openness we have seen in our customers to ask for suggestions and try new wines from all over the globe.  It has been a lot of fun to watch our customers be adventurous in wine, and we can’t wait to explore more together via the wine club.  The DBW Wine Club programs are something we have wanted to create since the beginning, and with all the changes we have all had to make in our daily lives, and with the increased amount of time we all spend at home right now, there’s no time like the present to get the club started and enjoy the ride! 

Thank you for your consideration in becoming a  DBW Wine Club member.  We can't wait to begin this conversation / collaboration with you all as we explore the world of wine together.
