How do you feel about a wine club at Anderson's? Over the last 8 years we've had many people ask us about it, and it's something we have thought about for a long time, but for a number of reasons we weren't able to do it until now. As many of you probably already know, Mike and Sue Mantai closed down the tasting room at Lambstone at the end of 2025. I am very excited to announce that they have agreed to come on board at Anderson's and make our wine! I have always loved their wines at Lambstone, and I am thrilled to have their help going forward at Anderson's! Mike and Sue bring a wealth of knowledge and talent to the table, and I'm confident that this will be a wonderful partnership for all of us.
So back to the wine club: We are curious to know what you think a wine club should include. There are so many different ways to go and lots of options for "perks". I want our wine club to be what our people would like to have. Here are some possibilities to get you started:
Special events/parties exclusively for wine club members?
"Wine club only" offerings of select wines?
Discounts on wine purchases, or other purchases?
Free tastings? How many, how often?
Classes to make your own wine? Discounted for wine club members? Offered to wine club members before anyone else?
Priority booking for your special events--weddings, showers, birthdays, etc.?
How often would you like to see distributions? Monthly, quarterly, twice a year?
Should we have a sweet option and a dry option? Red or white?
Should we offer the option of changing your allocation bottles to something else besides what is offered for the distribution?
What am I missing? What would make you want to join our wine club? Leave us a comment below and let me know what you think would make a really great wine club!
Leave me a comment, and let me know if this is something you would take advantage of, and what sort of things you would like for it to include, what are deal breakers for you, what kind of structure do you want to see?
I really appreciate your help! Together we can get this rolling!
