Wine clubs are new on the Timeless Wines website, but this particular club has been around for a while. Over the years, many of our regular customers have requested a mixed case of wine be sent to them monthly. We gladly obliged and our private wine club was born…but now it is available to all!
This club will send you 12 bottles of wine each month. It consists primarily of red, however, during the spring you may find some Rose, summer may bring you some whites, and, of course, some Champagne in December. You will receive 4 different wines, 3 bottles of each. The price will vary each month, depending upon what we are sending out. However, we aim to keep the price between $250 and $300 with free shipping.
This club is focused toward wine connoisseurs that are looking to try some familiar regions, but also explore new varietals and regions from our 13 countries. All wines will be ready to drink, but capable of aging for a few more years as well.
As always, you can stop at any time and leave comments about each shipment to help us better select your wines.

Review:
"A blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault and 10% Clairette, the 2022 Tavel La Reine des Bois is a touch darker in hue than its stablemate, the La Dame Rousse, but it's still not among the darkest of Tavels in the glass. That's perfectly okay, as the aromas and flavors are textbook for the appellation: crushed stone, flowering garrigue, ripe cherries and mouthwatering strawberries, all capped off by refreshing citrus-zest notes on the lengthy finish. Full-bodied and full-flavored, it's one of the candidates for top Tavel this year. - Joe Czerwinski"

Grand Veneur Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Le Miocene is made from 60% Clairette, 40% Roussanne
Pale yellow colour with hints of green, aromas of white flowers (may blossom, honeysuckle).
The palate is pleasantly balanced between liveliness and roundness, which brings out characteristics of dried apricot, honey and elderberry. A Châteauneuf du Pape white displaying a great finesse.
Best between 1 and 8 years.
Soil type Coming from the single vineyard named “La Fontaine”, the plot is facing north.It is made of clay-sand and limestone. Thanks to the northern orientation, it is always very well aired. This sector allow the Roussane and Clairette to mature in great conditions without losing freshness, which we believe is key point. Winemaking & ageing Whole-bunch pressing. Vinification in stainless-steel tanks. Fermentation temperature controlled at 15°C.
Review:
"The 2023 Châteauneuf du Pape Le Miocene Blanc is mostly Clairette but includes 40% Roussanne. Its vivid gold hue is followed by a beautiful perfume of stone fruits, grilled peach, minty flowers, and some spicy nuances. It's balanced and medium to full-bodied, with a kiss of background oak and flawless balance. It's a brilliant white from this talented family that readers will love to drink over the coming 4-6 years, if not upwards of a decade."
