As an extremely shy person, I have been known to stay away from parties and especially from hosting parties, but lately I feel like I might be "growing up" a little and coming out of my shell. I find myself signing up to host parties more, mostly playdate parties, but more and more I am asking Hubby to invite his work friends over for a get-together and I even hosted a girlfriends party last week!

California Wine Club

As my guests get older, my "refreshments" need to get older as well. I am not a huge wine drinker, but I think it is because I just haven't found the perfect wine for me yet. I started receiving wine from the California Wine Club through their monthly subscription and it has been interesting.

Monthly Wine Delivery Club

The California Wine Club is a monthly wine delivery club that delivers their members 2 bottles of wine each month. Every bottle of wine that is shipped to their members is backed by their 100% guarantee.

October's delivery from the California Wine Club included 2 bottles from the Robledo Family Winery, a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and Tempranillo. It went great with the cheese and crackers at my girlfriends get together and Hubby is looking forward to cooking with it some as well (you know how chefs are ).

The California Wine Club was founded by Bruce and Pam Boring in 1990 after growing frustrated as they tried to find truly great wine. They were overwhelmed and frustrated by the options available, but always loved the recommendations received from their friends. Therefore, California Wine Club was born with the concept of "one friend recommending a great bottle of wine to another friend".
