The Wine Club is ideal for anyone interested in tasting a full range of quality red and white wines (The offerings will feature approximately 75% red wines). If you love learning about wine, and appreciate the convenience and adventure of receiving two new wines each month, The Swirl on Castro Wine Club is for you. As with our featured in-store wines, the Wine Club offerings will emphasize small wine producers who support sustainable agriculture, fair labor practice, as well as organic and biodynamic farming principles. Below is the literature and recipes of some of the previous club offerings.
