Of horrible-sounding wine.

This would make it. A bottle from Andre the Giant's vineyard. KMarto as well...

Due to high number of customer support and shipping issues our web site visitors have reported, we can no longer recommend American Cellars Wine Club. As soon as we receive word that the situation has been resolved, we'll update our review of this wine club.

these wines are absolutely not worth the money. I signed up because they gave me delta frequent flier miles, enough to get a free flight across the country. I just received 6 bottles via UPS, 3 reds and 3 whites, all 2008. The chard is comparable to 3 buck chuck, the cab has the body of a light burgundy, and the sangiovese is basically grape juice. The other 3 I will be giving to the relatives whose names I can't quite remember.

The bottom line is: if you need 2,500 miles to get a free ticket you should get a membership and cancel it immediately.

The website does have a few wines that I might consider purchasing to have a case around (benton lane pinot, stag's leap, ridge zin, a couple of crest cabs, a couple of roessler pinots), but as far as the wines they select to send, absolute hogwash.

Also every single bottle had the name of a different "winery" or "cellar", but suspiciously they all had similar labels and every single one is based in santa rosa, CA. Sounds like marked up 3 buck chuck to me. JH.

What else are you going to drink to go with your beef jerky whilst watching professional wrestling on your 60" flat screen?
