ABOUT PAUL
Wine of the Month Club™ is the oldest mail order wine club in America. Specializing in value-oriented wines, the Wine of the Month Club is open to anyone who has an appreciation of fine wine and is interested in a monthly wine club subscription. Quality wine delivered to your door, guaranteed!
Our search for our wine club selections never ends. Each month I taste over 400 Italian wines, German wines, California wines, Argentinean wine, Chilean wines, and wines from all the other regions of the world--and I only select 2 to represent the best wine values in the world.

Two great wines and the best price in the industry delivered to your door at the lowest shipping cost in the business. Everything is fully guaranteed: "You never pay for a wine you do not like." I am privileged to be able to write these things. You see, we are the first and Original Wine of the Month Club®, having been founded in 1972 by my father (see picture!). That is how the idea of wine in the mail started. We were the first and, though there are imitators, there is only one Original Wine of the Month Club®.

Whether you subscribe for yourself to learn about the vast world of wine as a "wine correspondence course" or are giving a membership as a thoughtful gift, the Wine of the Month Club® is the premier wine club in America. Each shipment is accompanied by our famous "Wine Letter."
Each package is shipped with our informative newsletter describing who made the wine, where the wine is from, what to look for in the wine, how to cellar the wine, and what foods to serve the wine with (as well as temperature settings for storage and service).
By the way: no dues or fees, no hidden charges, cancel anytime with no obligation. Just pay no more than $24.96 for the two bottles and around $9.75 for the shipping (outside CA slightly higher).
The Original Wine of the Month Club®, founded in 1972 to take the guesswork out of fancy labels and expensive price tags in choosing a great wine, has become America's trusted source of unique and compelling wines. When all the California greats (Chateau Montelena, Dry Creek Vineyards, Jordan, etc.) were coming of age, Paul Kalemkiarian set out to taste all that could be to find the best values for his customers at Palos Verdes Wines and Spirits (a premier wine shop in Southern California in the 1970's). As he chose the best two values he found each month, customers of the shop requested that he have them delivered. His son, me, began delivering the selections to the local few that were interested. As the popularity grew, we began shipping the wine directly through UPS, and the idea of wine in the mail was born. There is only one Original Wine of the Month Club and only one federally registered and trademarked Wine of the Month Club®.The world of wine is a wonderful world of flavors, food pairing, vintages, grape varieties, growing regions and fun. It brings on laughter, camaraderie, sharing, good times, mellow times and friendship. It is thought-provoking, challenging, engaging and educational. Where do you start? Reading? Tasting? Talking? Meditating? Yes. A little bit of all of these will springboard you into learning and appreciating the world of wine. One of the best ways to learn is to taste wine that has been pre-selected (in other words, wines that are screened for flaws) while reading and understanding what to look for in the wine. Our newsletter covers topics such as terroir, climate, grape variety, winemakers' history, cellaring conditions, recipes and more. I am personally available to all my members for consultation and cellar recommendations. In addition, each month I make 2-4 special buys--wines that I want for my own cellar that I make available to our email members. Consider it a mail-order correspondence course for wine education with the wine! No commitment period. No dues or fees. Only pay for the wine and shipping. Cancel anytime with no obligation.
