wine clubs

[scottie]

I'm looking for a wine-of-the-month club for my dad, for his birthday. There are lots and lots of low-quality w/mo clubs out there, basically the equivalent of Gevalia. I'd like to avoid those. Can anyone recommend a decent wine-of-the-month club, with care given to selection and quality?

Forgive me if this topic has been previously discussed, I searched but didn't see anything similar.

Thanks,

Scottie

I have two good general suggestions for you.

1. Depending on where your dad lives, some retailers that have good wine selections have such clubs where a couple wines are either delivered, picked up, or on sale for club members. If there is one near where your dad lives, I'd look into that.

2. Many wineries have clubs where they send out a certain number of bottles periodically. If your dad has a favorite domestic winery, this may be an option. Of course, it has to be legal for wine to be shipped to your dad.
