Have you visited wineries and been able to observe the activities that occur in the wine making process? Anyone who has visited many wineries and seen firsthand the many steps that occur in the process has a pretty good idea of the intricacies involved. They may not be aware that those same intricate steps in the wine making process also translate into the label that becomes affixed to the bottle holding the finished product.

The label on a bottle of wine really does tell a story about the product inside. Consumers can know many details about a wine blend, the grapes that made it, where it was made, what specific vineyard it came from, and much more simply by reading and understanding the terminology used on wine labels.

Visiting California And Italy Through Wine Clubs

Celebrations Wine Club has been entertaining people for over 20 years with its California and Italian Wine Clubs. For wine enthusiasts, this flexible California and Italian Wine Club offers California selections, Italian selections, or a combination of both in its Wine of the Month Club. All three categories come in two-bottle packages that include a winemaker interview, information about the wines and the regions they come from, and a menu that pairs the wines with foods that will compliment wine club selections.

California Wine Of The Month Club

For the California series, the wine clubs visit small, family-owned wineries in the lush valleys of California where winemakers handcraft a wide range of wines that include classical Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Chardonnay as well as newer enthusiasms like Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Syrah. These fruity, spicy, aromatic wines are some of the finest in the world.

Italian Wine Clubs Provide A Taste Of Italy

From the sunny hillside towns of Italy, Celebrations Wine Club brings delicious wines from family-owned wineries that embody the history and culture of the fertile Italian peninsula. Wine enthusiasts will taste Barolo, Barbaresco, and Dolcetto from Piemonte, Sagrantino from Umbria, and Brunello, Chianti, and Vino Nobile from Toscana along with wines from all the other regions of Italy.

Packages from various wine clubs can contain either Californian or Italian wines, but for the intrepid connoisseur, the wines from both regions can be incorporated into one wine club package. Visit California one month and Italy the next, or visit both regions in the same month. The choice is yours.
