First of all, why
join our wine
club?
Simple: Because nobody
is more intimately familiar with these wines and the people that
make them, nobody tastes more of them and nobody carries and stocks
as many of them as we do. Our relationships with the
wineries go back almost 30 years and because of that, we get a lot
of wines that others simply can’t get.
We believe that wine-clubs should above all be
easy to use and provide mainly one thing: Great wine without you having to
think about ordering it. So instead of all kinds of fluff
that ends up inflating the price, like t-shirts, recipes, or
vineyard tours that you would have to fly in for, we are going to
concentrate on one thing: Finding you the best wines that
money can buy. Of
course you will also get tasting notes, the reason we picked them
and, when available, tech sheets.
The OWM Founder’s Club. These wines are extraordinary
Northwest wines. Some
rare, hard-to-get releases, some library wines, some allocated
wines, etc.
Occasionally there will be large-format bottles. The average monthly price for the
Founder’s Club is $120.- (never exceeding $150.-) plus
shipping. Usually two
bottles, and usually red, but sometimes one special bottle and
rarely a white. The
Founder's club also comes with a special perk: We will extend our 10% case
discount to all of your orders, regardless of
quantity. Because many
of these wines are so limited, there are only 24 spots
available. When they
fill up, we will take names for a waiting list and contact you when
there is an opening.
Shipping policy (PLEASE
READ): If you
choose FedEx Ground as your shipment method, we will hold your
wines for you in our cellar if the weather en-route is either too
hot or too cold to safely get the wine to you. (Please note this means that if
you live in a state like Florida or Minnesota, there will be
periods of many months when you will not receive any
wine.) Alternatively,
you can choose to upgrade your shipping to air-freight during hot
or cold months. Our shipping manager will gladly quote you
the most economical air freight option. Furthermore, we strongly
discourage shipping Founder’s Club shipments via
FedEx Ground. These wines are too special to
risk damaging them in transport.
