Wine & Cider of the Month Clubs
How the club works:
We are serious about our clubs here!. We offer truly artisanal wines & ciders, from off-the-beaten-path regions and producers that you will never see in other large, nationally advertised monthly clubs. Once a month, we meet and discuss the prospects for next months selections. We strive for excellence, we strive for the selections to "wow" or introduce you to something new, whether it be a grape, a region, or a producer. Each selection comes with a well-written, extremely educational write-up on the wine or cider. It goes into depth about the producer, the region, the style, and the terroir. Just like the wines in our shop, each selection will be unique and chosen by us, particularly with you in mind. Any wine or cider in the club, is one that we would drink ourselves and are proud to have not only in our shop, but potentially in your glass.
Member Perks!:
All member will receive 10% off at the shop anytime and off of anything! In addition, we will host a monthly Tuesday night wine club pickup party (we'll notify you in advance!), where members can come in, meet, and taste for free a couple of special wines and ciders that we reserve for the members only party. Members are free to bring a guest to taste as well.
*The clubs are not just for locals, we will ship! As long as it is legal to ship to your state, you can sign up from afar! Please note that monthly pricing below does not include shipping. Shipping & handling for any of the two bottle clubs (like the Village or Cider tiers) range from $15 to $25 depending on how far from Ithaca or NYS you are. If you are looking to sign up for any of the clubs and are not local please keep this in mind when calculating your monthly costs. You can save on shipping by joining a second club tier as shipping rates do not change much from 2 to 6 bottles, or by simply doubling up the wines or ciders in the club! Please remember that if you ship 6-11 bottles you receive 10% off each bottle and 15% off for 12 or more bottles!
