Our Wineries Love Us!
Not only do our wineries promote their wines on WineQ — many of them are also our most enthusiastic members! Take this blog post about WineQ by Jeff Stai of Twisted Oak Winery, for example.
One of the wines I received is especially interesting to me: the Smith and Wooton 2004 Tanner Brothers Vineyard Syrah. Why? Well, Twisted Oak also has a 2004 Tanner Vineyards Syrah. (Yes, it is the same vineyard - though we are at a loss to understand how S&W could diss sister Judy Tanner Block….) The Tanner Vineyard is right across the highway from Twisted Oak, and I am looking forward to trying the two wines side by side.
And that’s the cool thing about WineQ, because you can do the same thing! You too can build a queue with wines from the same varietal, or even the same vineyard. In fact, we could have a sort of mini Wine Blogging Wednesday (Wine Queuing Wednesday?) to taste off these two wines, if there was enough interest.
Wine Queuing Wednesdays? Sounds like pure genius to me! El Jefe has definitely tapped into one of the greatest benefits of WineQ: The ability to create your own wine club by choosing the wines you want sent to you. On top of that, the wines are shipped free, so there’s no difference in cost compared to shopping at your local wine store, except it comes straight to your doorstep. Plus you can chat with other members about which WineQ wines to try, which many of our members did in the comments on this very same post.
And one of those members happens to be another of WineQ’s winery, Elsbeth of Escafeld Vineyards. Escafeld, having recently featured WineQ on their Vineyard Diary blog, and also having touted us as the most customizable wine club on Earth at Vagablond.com, has been one of our most vocal supporters. Thanks so much for your support, Elsbeth.
Thanks also to Winehiker Russ and Dr. Debs, our other members that participated in Twisted Oak’s lively discussion of WineQ — and thanks in advance to a future member, Wannabe Wino Megan.
