newbie question:) which good monthly wine club

[thewoodman]

ALthough I'm not personally in any clubs (a couple bottles a month doesn't make much of a dent) I highly recommend Wine Exchange in Santa Ana (www.winex.com). I have never gone too far wrong going with recommendations in their catalog. A lot of their prices are rock-bottom, so I would suspect the club is a good value. Better thing to do in my mind is get their catalog and order a case when you need it based on your desires and their recommendations. I ususally don't ship from June-September because I think the heat of the average UPS ground shipment is not great for the wine.

Just my two cents, but they are good folks. Any time I egt to travel to Orange County, I always have a box from Wine Exchange to take back on the plane.
