Australian Wine Selectors... An Educational Exploration of Australian Wine
If you are a wine drinker who is interested in the deep traditions of Australian wine making and selection, then a Wine Selectors Club membership may just be an entertaining and educational way for you to explore wine.
The Wine Selectors Wine Club specializes in Australian wines... from popular cellars to boutique wineries. It offers plenty if you are a seasoned wine connoisseur, but can also become a superior mentor if you are just starting out.
How Can This Wine Club Teach You About Wine?
Wine Selectors is not a wine club that will send you a great wine and leave you guessing about its history or attributes. Each delivery will include a set of comprehensive notes explaining everything from proper cellaring to matching foods to the wines you have requested.
You will also receive a twelve-month calendar that highlights wine and food ideas, as well as Selector: Life-Food-Wine, the club's own magazine, filled with great articles about wine, ranging from regional histories to recipes.
Finally, you will be offered a variety of exclusive wine education courses, tailored to suit your level of wine experience.
Available Plans
There are 5 available plans at Australian Wine Selectors:
The Entertainers' Selection: This is a plan that offers value wines (typically about $11 a bottle) delivered to your doorstep five times each year. The Entertainers' Selection allows you to select from reds, whites or mixed Australian wine packages.
The Regional Series: At an average of under $14 per bottle, the Regional Series is a great way to explore the similarities and differences of Australia's twelve major wine regions. You will receive four regional wine deliveries each year, as well as a Best of the Best delivery to highlight the greatest achievements of all the areas.
The Winemakers' Series: Choose from reds, whites or mixed deliveries with this premium wine sampling plan. The Winemakers' Series spotlights many varieties and styles of wine from all the grand wine regions in the country. This plan will ship to your door every three months and averages less than $24 per bottle of benchmark wine.
The Hunter Valley Wine Society: Wines in this plan stem from the oldest wine making region in Australia and are bottled by some of the most respected wineries, as well as some unique boutiques. Four deliveries each year will showcase wines from this area, and one delivery will be a special holiday tasting dozen, all for less than $14 per bottle.
The Chairman's Series: This is the elite wine tasting plan, offering selections hand-picked by Karl Stockhausen, one of the most respected names in the business. The Chairman's Series features celebrated benchmark wines and some rare finds, primarily reds. Six prized wines will be delivered to your door four times a year for about $40 a bottle.
Other Costs
Any of the Wine Selectors Wine Club plans costs $22 annually, but the club is so confident that you'll be impressed, that they waive the fee for the first six months... kind of like a trial.
Shipping is minimal, ranging from $9 to $18 per case, depending on your proximity to the Hunter Valley. Orders over $350 ship for free, and all come with a risk-free money back guarantee.
A Great Taste of Australia
While the Australian Wine Selectors Wine Clubs may not have the massive selection of other wine clubs, their wines are interesting and offer a great taste of Australia.
This is a beautiful way to explore Australia's wine history without ever leaving your home.
