California Wine Club: A Wine Review – Dallas Wine Chick
I recently received a shipment from the California Wine Club, a club specializing in hand-selected artisan wines from family owned producers, which contained the 09 Trenza Winery Santa Barbara County Mourvedre Syrah Grenache and the 10 Tangent Winery San Luis Obispo Viognier.
We started with the Viognier, which had notes of melon, citrus, apricot, and a bit of Fig Newton. This was a well-balanced wine with good acidity and priced at $17. The red blend was full of berries, chocolate, mocha, oak, and vanilla. It went very well with our dinner and was food-friendly.
The $50 per month price tag includes shipping, accompanying information about the wines and winery, and recipes to complete your tasting experience.
If you want to give it a try, the California Wine Club is offering Dallas Wine Chick readers four bottles for the price of 2 when you sign up. Use the code vine12 at checkout.

Disclosure: This review was made possible by Mom Spark Media and was valued at $50 for the shipment.
I have been a member through the Wine Moms series (www.facebook.com/MomsWhoNeedWine group) for a few yrs now. Most everything we have received has been of very high quality. I love getting to try these small lot wines that would not normally be available to us here in Texas. The accompanying “Uncorked” magazine is great to give the background story on the featured winery. And when you find a wine that’s really a hit, there’s an option to reorder at a great price.
We were so pleased with our selections that we recently changed to the option of 4 bottles per shipment instead of the 2 bottles we originally signed up for. Can you tell I love CWC? 🙂
