wine clubs proliferate

USA Today??

I'd be more inclined to join a club where the wines were selected by Aldo Sohm than I would a club where Gannett's marketing research team decided which wines would be the least displeasing to the largest amount of potential club members.

There's money to be made in wine clubs, particularly given the availability of closeout bottles from all over the place. It makes it a little more difficult for winery-based clubs, but ultimately it will probably drive people to their local wine merchants so they won't have to delay their gratification on a monthly basis.

Maybe "This Old House" for the termites out there?

That's allocated to the top-tier donors. It's a one-out, one-in type thing. "FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS," and all that.

Little known fact: all selections are magnums.

What, you don't expect them to hunt sober, do you? Hunting sober is like fishing... sober.

Hey I just checked out their wine shop. They have Qupe syrah, French wine and 7 oz. beef filets (2 for $43-perishable). Seems like a reasonable bunch.

This is a VLM joint, que no?

What I want to know, do they shoot the tops of champagne bottles to open them?
