For
those interested in broadening their wine knowledge:
Or, for those just interested in trying something different:
A
New
Sterling Wine Club
The
world of wine has changed dramatically in the past six years. New wineries
have emerged in newly developed regions; old grape varietals are now the
hot new taste, and a new generation of winemakers and wine consumers have
appeared. Moreover .......
increases in wine prices has made it increasingly difficult to offer our
members three wines that are both unique and fall within our previous
membership monthy charge. We felt that our members deserved better.
Moreover, after six years, nearly 800 different wines, and 72 newsletters,
the Sterling Wine Club had not changed. That is until now.…..
Thus, beginning in Early Summer 2005, The Sterling Wine Club offers its members for a flat fee of $50 per month ($62.50 if you wished the bottles shipped each month):
· Two outstanding wines, unique to the Club, the value of which exceeds $50 on the retail shelf.
· A newsletter offering insights on the wines offered that month and the wine industry.
· A 12% discount on every single bottle purchased at Sterling Cellars.
· A 20% discount beginning at 12 bottles rather than 24 bottles.
· E-mail reminders each month, and occasionally a special offer via email just for Club Members.
· Winemaker dinners and special tastings throughout the year.
If
you have been previously been a member of The Sterling Wine Club, or
you are simply interested in expanding your wine experience
please consider
joining us in this new program. Simply email Sterling
Cellars and provide contact information.
