lightstruck 10 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 In return for making a few connections for someone who cold called me looking for help, I got a gift subscription to the Wine of the Month Club (this guy really, really didn't have to do that).I have to be honest, due to travel, illness and forgetting it was there, I haven't even opened one of the bottles. Yet.This was a really thoughtful gift, but not having tasted any of the selections that were sent to me, does anyone have experience with how good the selections are? I love the idea of giving this as a gift to business connections, but I don't want to seem like a rube for sending junk wine to an oenophile.Thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
willingtocope 1,336 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 That's really tough to predict. Most monthly things do ship "drinkable" wines...the problem is in transist. 500 miles in a hot truck is proably going to taste pretty bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lightstruck 10 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Good point.The packing seems pretty robust, with lots of molded styrofoam to keep the bottles in place. I know that doesn't do too much to deflect heat.I've had pretty good luck with shipments from other wine clubs (all from a single winery... all in my general vicinity).
