Wine Styles Part Duex

Just a quick update on my thoughts on wine clubs and particularly the local Wine Styles one here in Anchorage.

When I first joined I thought I’d keep it for a few month, get to know the store and the wines, and then move on. Not because I didn’t like the wines or didn’t think it was a fair price – it is. But, I tend to like reading about wines and trying to find wines on my own, when I have the time and capital.

But, I’ve really enjoyed the wine club. I get 2 reds each month and so far Wine Styles has done a great job and providing interesting diversity both in region and variety. We’ve had Grenache, Italian and Spanish wines, and this month is two from the Rhone, which I’m excited to try side by side.

So, if you’re looking to have a little diversity injected into your wine life, and don’t want to take on the task yourself, I’d suggest enrolling in a wine club for a few months and see how you like it.

I have enjoyed many of their wines both red and white. They have an Argentinian White that is great with seafood. New wines are always a pleasure to try.

Hi there! I just wanted to stop in and say I really enjoy your blog. And to also say thank you for your kind words about our business. It really does make us happy to see people enjoying our wines and even amazed that some one would take their time to blog about them for the world to see. Hopefully we can keep up the good selections. :-)
Thank you,
You friends at WineStyles
