About the Club
Winemaker's Challenge Wine Club is more an experience than a club. I invite you to be a part of the wine process; to engage in seeing how wine is made from an insider in the wine industry. This Wine Club is a forum to get to know the winemakers and their wine while enjoying the passion around winemaking.

It's when I open a bottle of wine I made and it turns out exactly as I had hoped when I tasted the grapes the year before.
