Sean and I live near two wine shops that are always promoting upcoming wine tastings but we never have the time to go to one.
So when we dine out, I tend to order wines I’m already familiar with and stay clear of types I haven’t enjoyed in the past.
For the next three months California Wine Club will be sending me two bottles of limited production wines from California’s best artisan wineries. It’s part of their Premier Club membership.
The first shipment recently arrived at my door. I loved getting having wine delivered because I didn’t have to worry about stopping to pick up a bottle or two of wine on the way home.
I previously spoke with Jon Boring (Director of Social Media and son of The California Wine Club founders Bruce and Pam Boring) about not having much love for Chardonnay or Zinfandel but he suggested I try them. And so a Chardonnay and a Zinfandel from Perry Creek Winery arrived in this first shipment.
The two wines from Perry Creek Winery were a 2008 Zinman Zinfandel and a 2009 El Dorado Chardonnay. The Perry Creek Zinman was rated among the top 15 best-value Zinfandels by Wine Spectator in 2010.
I am still not a fan of red Zinfandel but I did think the Chardonnay had a light, crisp taste that went well with the Mexican food I made that night.
I look forward to seeing which wines are included in next month’s shipment from The California Wine Club.
