One of the oldest online wine sellers, the California Wine Club has a solid reputation for pricing and reliability. So it comes as no surprise that several small wineries looking for new sales outlets have discovered it.
And you should see what it is offering right now.
The summer sippers for under $20 are led by two of my favorites, each at $10.99:
2021 Clos La Chance Estate Sauvignon Blanc
2018 South Coast Winery Viognier
For the Pinot Grigio lover, check out the Mountain View Winery’s at $16.99
And there are two first rate wines from Brutocao Cellars in Mendocino: Chardonnay and
Cabernet Sauvignon
The selection at the cawineclub changes as new wineries catch on and offer their wine.
Among recent additions that are out of the ordinary are Malbec From Yorkville Cellars, a Carmenere made by Plaisance Ranch and one of the most sought after dry Rieslings, the 2020 Poet’s Leap from Long Shadow.
the EX Monterey Pinot Noir from Wrath wines is another hard to find wine
Not all wines are deeply discounted as this club also functions like a traditional retailer.
And it offers hard to find wines like this beauty from Joel Peterson:
2020 Once and Future Zinfandel, Teldeschi Vineyard, Frank’s Block
With occasional new offerings like that, you owe it to yourself to check out the site
Specializing in small, family owned wineries, most from California, the site works smoothly with 4 categories:
Super Savers
Artisan and Under $50
For Connoisseurs
Recent Club Features
Frequently, this club has a $1 case shipping deal, so it is wise to get on the email list.

My career as a wine journalist/critic began in 1975 when my article about California Petite Sirah was published. My focus remained on California as I edited a monthly wine magazine and then moved on to The Wine Spectator in 1982. Over the following years, my column appeared under the banner of “Stormin’ Norman, and I also wrote articles about wine collectors and wine auctions.
Without getting into a year by year bio, let me try to summarize here. During my time with The Spectator which I enjoyed immensely, I taught wine classes at a culinary school and at other venues in San Francisco. Before venturing into wine, teaching was my thing, English Lit and Rhetoric.
After The Spectator I was the U.S. Contributor to Decanter Magazine, writing mostly about California, but also expanding into Washington State and Oregon. My Decanter years began in 1992 and after buying a summer home in France in 2000, I traveled throughout France and eventually published articles about St. Emilion, Castillon, Bergerac, Minervois, Roussillon,
Luberon, Provence, and Alsace.
Also, around 2000, my wife began working for Cousino-Macul in Chile, so we tasted and traveled our way through Chile and, of course, managed to fly over the Andes and explore and taste our way through Argentina.
As travel lovers, we have also spent many interesting days visiting the wine regions of Spain, Italy, Portugal, Scicily, Greece, and New Zealand.
And to come to a close, I was Director of Winesong, a Charity Wine Auction for 20 years, 1992-2000 that benefitted a local hospital. That brought me in contact with wine collectors and to the auction scene. And finally, I co-authored a book, The Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine published by Alfred A. Knopf. It went through 4 editions and sold over 500.000 copies.
