We will send your recipient the current club release and they will receive 6 months of benefits including complimentary classic tastings at our tasting rooms and discounts on purchases. Before the next release, we will contact your recipient to see if they want to continue with the club. If you would like to gift a 6 month membership, please note that in the “Club Notes / Special Instructions” field when signing up online.
