[DByers]

I belong to two local wineries as I have found that the wine maker at these two wineries crawled inside my head and figured out what I really enjoy. Plus they are very small production wineries and this guarantees me some of their wine every release.

Beyond that like others have mentioned I have become very familiar with a few local retailers who know my taste and budget. So much so they will call or email me when they come across something they know I would like.

Lastly I live in area that produces some great fruit and has lots of up and coming wine makers so I find myself frequently tasting in the area with friends.

I do not and have not ever belonged to a large wine club. It works for some people, just not me.
