wines of the world
how to join/find a wine club? resources?

I’m looking to become a more knowledgeable member of the “wine world” – I’m hoping to join a wine club, build my wine collection – and ultimately, learn more about wine, et al
I’ve been researching – and have yet to find a great guide to wine clubs –
I started here, is this a good source?

Can you recommend other helpful, INTERESTING, sources? THANK YOU!

I’m not sure, but I think you might be heading in the wrong direction there. The link and the other responses are referring to wineries that sell to people who sign up for their clubs. If you live near the wineries, there are some learning benefits, but aside from that, I don’t see how a membership would help you.

What city do you live in? I know of several organizations and wine stores in LA that have tastings and “classes.”

Better yet, why not organize a group of your friends and start your own wine club. A friend of mine did that and the group of 6 is having their 16th gathering tomorrow night. None of us had much knowledge to begin with – just a copy of The Wine Bible for each of us, but we would pick themes, get the wine and assign research to each member. We learn about varietals, regions, styles, etc. We started out simple with just some cheese and meat and crackers learning about basics. We’ve done stuff as fancy as tasting Barolos with homemade osso bucco and risotto, etc.

If this is what you had in mind, I could give you a few more tips.
