Wine Club Tasting Notes Online. . . Exclusively
Welcome to Carpe Vino’s Wine Club Tasting Notes Online, where each month you’ll find information about all of our current selections. After wines have been billed and are ready to be picked up or shipped, Wine Club members will receive an email notification. Simply select the club in which you are enrolled below. You can view the tasting notes online, download a PDF and view notes for other clubs. The best part is all notes are archived, so if you cellar your wines, you can come back and locate any tasting notes.
Wine pricing shown with the notes is full retail; wine club pricing is shown on your receipt when you pick up your wine. We hope you find this process helpful and easy to use. And for your privacy, your membership information will be kept confidential. Carpe Vino does not share our information with any outside companies or other organizations.
Enjoy!
Wine Club Tasting Notes for May
There’s a Reason You Haven’t Heard of these Wines
Our goal with the Carpe Vino Wine Club is to source fabulous wines that are unfamiliar to you. The reason is most are low-production. . .some ultra-low. . .wines that you’ll never find at the box stores or supermarkets. This is our raison d’être, our “reason for existence”. Also because Drew and I are a couple of really fun guys, and we know how to keep the party going at Carpe Vino.
Two great examples among this month’s selections are the 2011 Four Fields Grenache and the 2009 Kesner Sandrift Chardonnay. The grenache is made by young Chuck Mansfield, and while his day job is winemaker for HKG (Hop Kiln in Napa), this is his first solo project and just 800, San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition Gold cases were made. Also, check out Jason Kesner’s limited-release chard. . .just 263 made.
This month’s prix-fix is going to be killer: Chef Alexander is taking us on a private tour of Southeast Asia cuisine. Just $49++ per person for four courses, May 21 to 26. Make reservations by calling 530-823-0320.
