Best Wine Club of the Month
Finding the best wine club of the month is not an easy process. A simple Google search leads to at least a million results and every one of the four thousand American wineries has a wine club which you can join at any point.
So how do you choose?
Start by finding an independent review. While many online reviews are nothing more than ploys for a commission, Yelp and other sites allow users to post reviews of wineries and tasting experiences at those same wineries. Outside of independent reviews, wine unlike many other foods has a large number of famous reviewers. From Robert Parker to Wine Spectator Magazine, you should be able to get a pretty good idea about the quality of wines being shipped by an independent wine club by looking up the critical reviews of the wine clubs past couple of shipments, run (don’t walk) away if the club isn’t willing to share this information.
Nevada City Winery
There are only a handful, or less, of wineries located in Nevada County and Nevada City Winery is probably the best known of that group. It makes sense because the wine is of high quality and has a great story attached. Owner and winemaker (that’s usually a great combination for consumers looking for wine gifts among the many winery choices in the Sierra Foothills) Allan Haley has a myriad of experience making wine in Europe, which helps to explain a house style which can be described as refined when compared to some others in the area. These wines are truly good values and much, if not all, of the fruit is sourced from the estate owned 300 acre vineyard. Zinfandel is the clear cut leader in both quality and total production, although a significant amount of other red wines are produced led by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and of course the Rhone standout Syrah.
