Join Napa Valley Elite’s wine club for exclusive benefits and savings. It’s this wine enthusiast’s best kept secret!
Is there anything better than that first sniff, swirl and sip of wine after a full-on day? As I’m getting older, I swear I’m becoming a convert to the notion that there really is a perfect wine for every occasion.
Roast chicken Sunday dinner? A crisp pinot grigio will let the flavor zing.
Mid-week salmon fillet and potatoes? A medium-bodied viognier is the perfect foil to the meaty texture.
Mexican burritos on a Saturday night? Bypass the margaritas and pour yourself a large glass of tempranillo.
Even my bar snack beverages have been elevated from craft beer to a nice light sauvignon blanc. My friends used to mock me, but I’ve been slowly converting them so now we form a core group of wine enthusiasts. Of course, this has developed into a playful competition of trying to out-do one another with the best or most surprising find from the wine cellar. This time, however, I know I have them beat.
My secret? Napa Valley Elite wine club. Sign up today at https://napavalleyelite.com/upscale-wine-club
Joining this club was the best decision I ever made. It gives wine aficionados the opportunity to expand their palate and explore the rich bounty of wines grown right here in America. They handpick the best wines based on region, vintage and grape variety, ensuring that I receive a selection of wines which will elate and titillate my senses.
What’s more, I can personalize my wine preferences, to ensure that each delivery contains wines that will appeal to my own flavor profile. They take on board my feedback and tasting notes, so the selections become more refined to my tastes with each delivery.
As part of their membership package, I also receive a fantastic newsletter with insights into the American wine industry, tasting notes and suggestions for food pairings to complement their latest selection. This has become my secret weapon to getting one up on my fellow wine buffs – but more on that later…
Napa Valley Elite also offers flexible subscription options. So I can switch between their various club levels, opt to skip deliveries or, if I were so inclined, cancel my membership without incurring a financial penalty.
All of this means that when we get together for our wine, cheese and game night this weekend, I know I’ll be able to surprise my friends. I’ve always been a big cab-sav guy, but this time I’ve gone in a different direction. Thanks to the tasting notes in last month’s newsletter, I know that a cabernet sauvignon and a creamy brie (my personal cheese of choice) simply do not mix.
Napa Valley Elite’s sommelier explained that the rind and high butterfat content in the brie can give the wine a metallic flavor. Which is sure to elicit some head-shaking and wry smiles from my own little wine club. So, this time, I’m going with a little-known oaky chardonnay, hand-picked from a vineyard in Sonoma County and delivered to my door yesterday morning. I’d like to see them top that magic pairing.
