Best wine club for your money

[pink_fairy]

I've never joined a wine club before. I want wine sent to my home monthly. What are the best clubs, cost wise and wine quality?

:) Thanks in advance

I'm a fan of Bonny Doon's DEWN (https://www.bonnydoonvineyard.com/dewn_club/) -- the prices are reasonable, the wines are interesting, and every so often you get interesting extras like bound screeds from Randall Graham.

I visited that site and can't find where to order monthly shipments.

One of the wine stores/bars near me has a great wine club with a number of options, and the prices are really reasonable: http://www.vinobello.com/index.php/wine-club/

I second the wine store/bar option. Mostly because you won't be "stuck" with just one winery's interpretation of varietals. My local wine megastore here or my super-local wine store here has a club. The first one, they usually offer a case at a discount price each quarter.

Aha, you live close(-ish) to me. :) I shop at Esquin regularly.

Yes! :) I live in West Seattle (obviously).

Although, in truth, since I co-own a restaurant I haven't bought wine at retail for quite some time.

The Bounty Hunter in Napa.

They offer several ranges for their wine clubs, and the selection is always good.

Navarro Vineyards in Anderson Valley, California (between Sonoma / Dry Creek and Mendocino) is the first thing that comes to mind when I think variety + bang-for-the-buck. They have tons of different wines and most of them are very reasonably priced. They are especially good if you like Pinot Noir or off-dry/sweetish whites like Gewurztraminer or Riesling

They have a pre-release club which is two shipments per year, 6 bottles each (10-25% off): http://www.navarrowine.com/prerelease/

Virgin Wines does a pretty nice quarterly club for about $140/12 bottles. I liked it, but since it's just me I didn't go through it fast enough.
