Online Wine Clubs
Joining online wine clubs allows you to taste the wines of Italy, Chile, France and Spain without ever leaving the comforts of your home. Membership to such clubs is a great gift for yourself or for a loved one. But before your sign up for anything, there are some things to consider when looking for the perfect online wine club.
Cost. Naturally, you have to consider the price of joining such a club. Remember that the membership fee is not the only cost to consider. Usually, you need to factor in the shipping fees and taxes.
Variety. Before you sign up with an online wine club, be sure that they have variety of the wine sources. Make sure their wines coming from several vineyards, and not just one.
Shipment policies. Most online wine clubs adhere to all federal, state and local laws on shipment, but beware; there are other clubs that circumvent shipping laws to decrease taxes, etc. Other wine retailers, online or otherwise can ship to certain states and deliver products even without a signature of an adult. Twelve states prohibit retailers from shipping the wines directly to the consumers. These include Arkansas, Georgia, Alaska, Kansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Maryland, South Dakota, Tennessee and Utah, among others. Some online wine clubs do not deliver to certain states even when wine delivery is allowed because the market is too small. Be sure to clarify if the club delivers to where you are located before signing up for membership.
Inventory policies. There are also laws that govern how retailers manage their inventory in various states. In some cases, it is illegal for retailers to move their wines from one state to another state. Some states have signed mutually beneficial agreements enabling retailers to deliver wines to consumers between states. Ask the online wine club customer representatives about how these inventory policies may affect you.

Gonzalez Byass Alfonso Oloroso
Tue, 02 Sep 2008 20:26:06 PDT
I’m getting to the end of the box of Gonzalez Byass sherries. It has been great to be able to look at almost the entire range at all quality levels, the good thing about these wines is that they are available just about everywhere in Australia. This oloroso is a straight palomino, its just a pup at 5 years old… A fairly full and slightly sweet on nose with walnuts, vanilla, varnish, mixed peel and generally crushed, mixed nuts. Luxurious in the mouth, dry with good texture and balance. It fini
Gourmet Soup Recipies Review
Fri, 29 Aug 2008 08:01:15 PDT
Rapid and easy, with generally-available ingredients, this gourmet soup is a dramatic winner, either as family fare or for a dinner party. The mixture of flavours is wonderful, with the ginger and orange hints completely balancing the sweetness of the pumpkin and sherry. It will become one of my standards
Wine Tourism in Sherry Country and a Lesson from Portugal
Mon, 25 Aug 2008 02:29:19 PDT
Two weeks ago, after a very relaxing holiday in Galicia, we chose to make our way home to Jerez via Portugal, stopping off for two nights in Oporto on the way. I’ve been to where they make Madeira, I live where they make sherry but I had never been to Oporto, so this was an exciting opportunity to visit the place where they make Port. For me, the “traditional” fortified wines are madeira, sherry and port so in a way this completes the circle. What struck me immediately on arriving at Vila Nova
