Just got a case of wines from a concern called Naked Wines, there is a waiting list
and the one wine I tried so far was very good.  My youngest brother owned a nice restaurant in Big Sky
Montana, and is very big on wines(When I brought Nadine to meet the family he opened a bottle of Cristalle,
 and Opus One - btw do not mix them with pain medication for a root canal that didn't have the alcohol warning
on the bottle, night ended in Emergency room since I ended up speaking 3 languages, and had my hand moving of it's own accord!).  anyway here is the link you pay $40 a month and it gets put into an account for you wine purchases from them.
Satisfaction guaranteed, you can quit any time, and you choose what wines they send you, when you want them.

What's in it for Albert Filippini? Sounds ingesting (that was supposed to be "interesting" but I thought the autocorrect was apropos) but I don't drink $40/month worth of wine. I do enjoy wine but I don't drink it that often. Been dieting for a month and haven't had any at all in that time.

I am new to this, but i think i get $40 in my account if someone joins from that link. They take $40 a month auto deduct, but they ship you wines when you want, not monthly.  I think you can opt for a lower amount deduction or once every 3 months... So far, I don't see a downside, my brother was saying he was getting wines for around $12-15 a bottle
that could easily go for around $40.  then again he is a wine aficionado,  when my Youngest was out there to visit last year, he and his wife had opened a $300 bottle of wine, for dinner that night,  told her she should taste it. the upside, As a wine angel (their term), they use our money to help fund winemakers, who sell small batches directly to them. So they cut out the middleman and you get a better wine at a cheaper price.  Meanwhile the money is still yours to spend when and if you see fit, or you could ask for it all back. one nice thing, you occasionally get a free bottle of wine as a gift, that counts toward your case minimum. Got a nice letter from one f the winemakers, saying that since Naked wines buys all of his production, he spends more time with his family, and less on the road trying to market his wine.  Saves him money, sells wines cheaper to us, same or better net income. The offer a $100 voucher to try them at regular(not angel) pricing.  It's cheaper to wait, and get the wine once you have money in your account.  I think they added $40 to my account cause I was on the wait list for so long (34,500) before me. took a few months. Wife drinks mostly white wines, so the case of wines was her Valentines Day gift (I was buying it anyway, just made sure there were at least 10 bottle of white - got it the day before, so no money spent on flowers or dinner!).  If you are happy with lesser priced wines, or really fancy named wines, not for you.

It sounds very interesting. I'd probably give it a shot except that I'm not drinking these days.

hey guys, no skin off my nose, just passing along the info, you could go to their website directly and sign up if you want.  I don't need the $40 bucks, my brother told me about it, over Christmas dinner, didn't give me a link.  they have more than enough customers, and came up with the waiting list so us newcomers would not wipe them out of wines(it happened in the past!).  more people responded to my first banter over there, including customer service, than over here most days.  8)

I'm smoking as often as possible. The women thing is not necessarily by choice. It's just that I'd rather eat than drink my calories. So that ought to cover it.
