California Wine Club did it again for my husband and I. I’m afraid we are wine-spoiled. California Wine Club recently delivered a 2nd month’s supply of wine to our door and did we ever enjoy it. The last few months have been hectic here at the Hagan house and just sitting down to enjoy a glass of wine together is a really nice break for us.
When we receive a shipment of wine from California Wine Club, we know that we are in for a treat. We usually read Uncorked, their fabulous newsletter, first, then we sit down to enjoy the wine.
The owners of California Wine Club look for the best of the undiscovered, family owned, vineyards, those that you may not find at your local store. Having the opportunity to try wines that I wouldn’t normally find at my local store has been great! I have learned more about wine than I ever thought I would through California Wine Club, without taking a wine class or attending wine tastings.
California Wine Club’s Premier Club is their most popular wine gift, featuring monthly shipments of two bottles of award-winning wine from California’s best “mom & pop” wineries and their entertaining and very educational 12-page, full-color newsletter, Uncorked®. Wine gifts start at just $36.95*.
Gifting Wine
Besides your kids, wine is a great gift for just about everyone on your list. Friends, family, and co-workers. Gift them a month of California Wine Club’s Premier Monthly Wine Club and I’m sure they will continue the service. You can gift 1 month, 2 months, 6 months, or as long as you’d like! The membership can be canceled anytime.
Not sure which wine(s) to order?
The California Wine Company encourages mixed case orders in increments of 6 or 12. Creating and mixed case order will allow you to order at least 6 wines that your friends and family (over 21 of course) are sure to find a suitable wine for themselves to enjoy.

This review was made possible by Mom Spark Media. All thoughts are my own. I received a 2 month Membership to the California Wine Club for the purpose of this review.
I’ve been getting shipments of wine from California Wine Club for a few months now and am hooked! The California Wine Club has helped make me feel less intimidated when I choose wines and I love getting to try new (to me) wines they every month. I feel so spoiled!
Receiving two bottles of wine from The California Wine Club every month has been a great gift, for me. I don’t often do anything for me so when I receive the deliveries from CWC, I feel a little pampered.
A California Wine Club Premium Membership would be a great gift for family and friends! Think about it.. by giving a friend, family member, or co-worker a membership to CWC’s Premier Club you are giving them something they will really appreciate, learn from, and enjoy! A Premier Club membership would also be a great gift for that top carpool mom! The recipient will also enjoy learning about the wineries who’s wines they receive each month, in the Uncorked full-color, information packed newsletter they’ll receive with their monthly wine delivery. This month’s featured winery is Tulip Hill, established in 2000.
Giving a membership to California Wine Club’s Premier Club is not only greatly appreciated by the recipient but it’s also very convenient for you, the gift giver! Order the membership online and everything is taken care without having to worry about waiting in long lines and holiday crowds.
California Wine Club is open 7 days a week during December! If you have questions call 1-800-777-4443.

I received my second shipment (read about our first shipment here) of wine from California Wine Club’s Premier Club a few days ago and my husband and I have really enjoyed the wines. The wines we received were from Castaro Cellars and were Pinot Noir and Guwerztraminer. All the wines we have received from California Wine Club have been award-winning wines. This is a great help for the fact that when you are in the store, there’s no way to tell if the bottle you’re buying is going to be a great bottle of wine or not.
I know the rule of red wines with red meat and white wines with white meat but no one ever told me just how many white and red wines there are, all with different bouquets and finishes. Being a member of California Wine Club’s Premier Club and having wine delivered to your door every month, takes away the awkward 5 minutes of standing in the wine isle staring at the ‘wall o’ wine’ and having no idea where to start.
California Wine Club’s most popular club, the Premier Club, features two bottles of award-winning wine from California’s best “mom & pop” wineries. No membership fees, cancel anytime and all wines are 100% guaranteed.
With each monthly wine delivery, members get California Wine Club’s full color Uncorked newsletter showcasing information about the winery. I love being able to be able to read and learn about the wine I received and the family owned wineries that I may have overlooked when staring at the ‘wall o’ wine’ at the store. I like the idea of supporting “mom & pop” wineries and reading the newsletter allows me to feel more in-touch with the people involved in the making of the wine.
If you are intimidated by selecting wine like I am, you will benefit from California Wine Club’s Premier Wine Club. You will be so pleased when you get your monthly shipment of award-winning wines. You are literally opening your eyes to a world of wine that you wouldn’t have known about otherwise.
I am looking forward to our next shipment of wine, California Wine Club’s holiday wines. I am sure we will enjoy the wine with family during get togethers and holiday meals!
The App
Get a little extra help in deciding which wine to choose while at the grocery store or a restaurant by downloading California Wine Club’s Food and Wine Pairing Wheel app. The app makes it simple to find and choose wines based on the meal you are preparing or choosing.

I have been on a quest to learn about wine for a few years. Over the last few years, if you asked me what effort had I made to learn about wine, and if I answered honestly, I would say “Not much”.. until the opportunity fell into my lap a few weeks when I received two bottles of wine from The California Wine Club.
Before I received the two bottles of wine The California Wine Club sent, I wouldn’t buy wine for home, choose wine at a restaurant, or drink wine because I was ignorant about how to really ‘taste’ wine, how to choose wine, what glasses to use, etc..
So here I am, on my quest to learn about wine and I realized that the first and most important step for me was to…stop worrying about it! Worrying about which type of wine to choose and which wine glasses to use kept me from buying or trying ANY wine. What fun is that? That sure didn’t get me very far.
I was thrilled when I received my first of three monthly wine shipments from California Wine Club, last week. After I received the shipment, I planned two of our week’s meals according to the wine. The first of which you’ll see in the photograph above. I paired a pasta & alfredo sauce meal with a Chardonnay.
I was sent two bottles of wine via California Wine Club’s Premier Club membership, their oldest and most popular wine of the month club. The Premier Club is a great way to learn about wine and the California wine scene, perfect for the wine novice (that’s me!) or aficionado. Just $36.45 per month plus shipping, handling and applicable sales tax.
I enjoyed the first bottle of wine with my husband. We probably didn’t use the right wine glasses, but that’s ok.. I’m just getting my feet wet with my wine education. I prefer fruity wines and this Chardonnay served just that. This is a light wine with tropical fruit flavors and a hint of vanilla. The delicate crispness went of this wine very well with our pasta meal.
CWC Food and Wine Pairing iPhone App Screenshot
Want to impress your husband and friends? You can become an instant wine and food pairing expert!
California Wine Club has a new iPhone/iPad app out called CWC food and wine pairing wheel (iTunes download link).
This, free for a limited time, food and wine pairing wheel app makes it easy to find the right wine to go with your meal. Next time you go out for a date night, don’t rely on the server to tell you what wine would go well with your meal. Decide for yourself by using the food and wine pairing wheel app. It’s simple to use, just choose a meal type from the list across the top of the app; poultry, seafood, pasta, starters, cheese, or dessert, and then spin the wheel below the list to choose the type of food you will be enjoying. Under each type of food, Lobster for example, you will get a list of results. For Lobster, the recommended wine is Chardonnay and two types would be Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc. Easy, isn’t it? Don’t forget to use the app while you are grocery shopping.
The app is now free so hurry and download CWC Food and Wine Pairing Wheel app before CWC begins charging for this very useful and easy to use app.
