Raley’s Supermarket Wine Club

You might have guessed by my post about the wine pairing  app for your iPhone,  that I’m a wine fan. I’m a beginner, no real wine knowledge to speak of, but I’m learning. I joined Raley’s Wine Club a few months back and they send me information about pairings, tips for wine parties, and information on special buys and deals. If you live near a Raley’s, BelAir or Nob Hill, take a look at the company website and check out the wine club.

Some of the Raley’s stores here in California offer tastings.  My local Raley’s doesn’t offer this, but it sounds fun.  If you log into the Raley’s website, you can see a complete list of tasting locations and I think that the Natomas store would be closest to me, it’s located in Sacramento.

Here’s an example of their tasting schedule for July:

7/2 – Dancing Bull and Madria Sangria
7/9 – Smoking Loon
7/16 – Wente
7/23 – J. Lohr and Gordon Biersch
7/30 – Wine Steward’s Choice

Tastings are offered only to customers whom are 21 or older.

They run from 5:30-7:30 and they cost $3, plus tax, per sampler. You can apply the $3 to your wine purchase.

For information about a tasting near you, take a look at the Raley’s Wine Club.
