The key benefit of wine club membership is access to your favourites before they sell out, and if you enjoy selections from small lot wineries such as Meyer Family Vineyards (MFV), act fast. The next shipment is mid-June where club members receive four bottles of the new releases right to their door. Get three shipments annually by signing up for the free membership online www.mfvwines.com. Says Proprietor JAK Meyer, “In addition to first dibs on our focused, single vineyard wine portfolio, members get 10% off wine purchases, complimentary tastings in our wine shop, special ‘family-only’ event invitations and other benefits.” Check for tickets to events like the ‘Pick Up Party’, Saturday, June 20, where members can receive the June shipment, enjoy small bites and sample some new releases. It’s complimentary for members while guests can purchase tickets, refundable upon joining the wine club. Members who sign up a friend that day receive a complimentary bottle of wine for a value up to $25.
JAK looks forward to showcasing MFV’s traditional Burgundy-style wines at the International Pinot Noir Celebration in Oregon this July. At the three-day event, world-renowned winemakers, northwest chefs, esteemed media, epicures and wine lovers gather to explore, learn and celebrate Pinot Noir. Over 70 international Pinot Noir producers and over 50 Northwest top chefs will attend. For more information: www.ipnc.org
With ongoing success in significant wine competitions, MFV has a growing export program and is currently exporting to Japan, UK and the United States. Find selections of MFV wines in Whole Foods Market in 15 locations throughout Washington and Oregon, in Marks & Spencer stores in the UK this September and for sale on winebcusa.com
