I got a wine of the month club membership for my birthday. Two bottles of wine delivered to my door every month, plus a cheese pairing! |
This is actually a genuinely helpful gift idea. My girlfriend really, really loves wine. I can only find one in the UK that delivers two bottles rather than whole cases, though, and not really any English-language reviews (seems to be a French company). I'm a bit wary of forking out for it and finding out all their wines are mediocre French piss. |

| The one I'm in only includes wines of a certain rating, based on a system used here in Ontario. I can only assume most of these membership clubs are the same, but who knows. I mean there has to be incentive for people to join aside from the convenience of having wine show up to your house every month. |

In the one I've seen they get picked by a sommelier. If you can trust the sommelier then it's a good way of trying loads of wines you might not otherwise sample. Hence why I'd like to see some reviews. |

I hate to think what you do in it. :p
I want to be able to compute from the comfort of my bed especially because... winter is coming.
I wish I had a computer chair. I have a hard colonial chair. |
