American Cellars Wine Club

American Cellars Wine Club offers a convenient service for people interested in trying new wines.

This program is ideal for avid enthusiasts as well as those who have basic wine knowledge. Established in 1993, the American Cellars organization delivers selections directly to its members.

Consumers enjoy benefits of membership that go well beyond having an opportunity to try some of the best wines. The club features a variety of additional benefits that appeal to anyone who loves trying new varietals. These include:

• Reorders of your preferred wines
• The Grapevine Newsletter
• Discounts on additional purchases
• Exclusive deals on wine accessories
• Special invitations to events
• Ratings
• Tasting notes

A membership is ideal for anyone who wants to learn about pairing food and wine for formal dinner parties or casual meals. The newsletter features recipes designed specifically for the wines selected for the month. This is a no-fail approach to pairing and it serves as a wonderful learning tool.

The newsletter is filled with helpful information about the featured wines as well as tasting tips and tricks to ensure you have an opportunity to enjoy the flavors infused in the varietals. The publication also offers more information including insight into touring the wine country as added inspiration.

The special events and offers vary each month and include wine tasting events, contests, wine racks or other accessories. Companies that collaborate with the monthly wine club offer some of the bonuses. There may be an additional fee when participating in these events and offers. The organization sends information about the partners offers via mail or email.

If you are a seasoned connoisseur or if you know that your tastes are outstanding, you may opt to volunteer as a wine judge. The club sends wines to volunteers for no additional cost. The volunteers taste the wines and provide feedback to the organization. The opinions are weighed to determine which wines earn American Cellars Gold Medal status.

The organization weighs each vote equally, no matter what the individual's wine tasting experience. Each member’s opinion is an important factor in deciding which wines receive an award.

There are some necessary steps to take when adopting a new membership to the American Cellars Wine Club. Having your information handy is a convenient organizational step. Each delivery requires a signature and this can influence where the deliveries are to be made.

The first step is to determine whether you live in a state that allows such a service. States that allow wine shipments include:

• California
• Florida
• Illinois
• Minnesota
• Missouri
• Nevada
• New Hampshire
• New Mexico
• North Dakota
• Ohio
• Oregon
• Washington
• Washington D.C.
• West Virginia
• Wyoming

Alaska, Florida and Idaho allow shipments in some areas. However, these states do not allow shipments to certain zip codes because of local laws that prevent shipping alcoholic beverages.

You have options to consider when adopting a new membership. Some members prefer to have two bottles of wine delivered each month while others prefer four. The cost of the membership will differ significantly depending on the number of bottles you select.

Many customers are avid red or white wine drinkers. If you prefer one to the other, you can opt to have reds or whites delivered exclusively. Otherwise, you can expect a mix of red and white wine each delivery cycle.

Many of the wines selected by the club are quite rare, handcrafted by smaller wineries. The club offers an opportunity for you to try wines that are in small supply and ones that you will never see in your local stores. The unique quality of the wines featured each month is one of the most appealing aspects of joining the American Cellars Wine Club.
