I’ve been excited to open a few bottles over time while writing this site, but few quite as much as Saturn’s Rings Malbec by FirstLeaf Wine Club. You’re probably wondering why? Is it the name? No. I don’t care about that. The label? No. I don’t care about that either. In reality, one thing that …

So this was one of the fascinating things about FirstLeaf to me, they had some wines that they produced and bottled themselves (similar to Winc) but they also had a couple of bottles that came from regular wineries, that you could go and visit yourself. This puts them kinda in between the new age wine …

A Washington Post article from this week got me thinking about the truly, epic lack of diversity in the wine club and winery space. It’s well worth a read, but it deals with a couple of new wine clubs that aim to bring more diverse voices into the industry. Since this is something that is …
I haven’t had a chance to write one in a bit, but I’ve got a couple more in the que….but there is one fundamental difference between traditional vs new age wine clubs. That’s one of the reasons I’m writing a series titled: What kind of wine club are you? When I’m talking traditional wine clubs, …

I’ve already talked about it in this space, but I’m not normally a fan of Chardonnay which being based in California can really, really cut down …
So, after ordering a wine club shipment from NakedWines, it was time to cancel. I’m happy to report that I was able to do so online, without intervention in much the same way as I was able to sign up. Here’s the process and I am happy to give them their point (a quick reminder …
So in my shipment from Naked Wines (want to know how it all went? Read my Naked Wines Review), the wine I was most interested to try was the Dave Harvey Cabernet Franc. What did I think of this wine? Two starts in my review because I was both really happy with the quality AND …

I wrote about my least favorite time of the year when I owned a direct to consumer wine club a couple of weeks back, citing the return game this time of year. (Returns Kill wine clubs) Turns out, it was worse this year, which if I was going to pat myself on the back, is …
