Buon'
Amici Wine Club
Way
back
in 1987, the brothers Perata began a winery. It was based on two
principles:
grow great grapes; and barrel big wines. They started very small, using
only the fruit from their own vines planted in 1980. Their friends
liked
the wine. Their friends' friends liked the wine.
The brothers added a few new barrels every year. The winery grew, their
circle of friends grew. It was great.
Then,
a small cloud. Sometimes, even with 2,000 cases made each year, there
were
some wines produced that were gone like a rainbow before our friends
had
a chance to see them. Ah, to make widgets, to crank out more and more!
But no, not their way. Make what the vineyard gives you. Cherish your
friends,
enjoy your wines. See what the next vintage holds.
We
have been fortunate that our style of winemaking has been supported by
our friends: low tonnage vines, extensive use of oak, long barrel and
bottle
aging, superior cork. All adds up to intense wines although an
expensive
way to produce them. Our good luck has been that our friends permit us
to do this without an advertising budget.
And,
therefore, we are delighted to offer to our good friends, our Buon'
Amici, a wine club. One that will:
-
Ship new releases first to our Buon' Amici. Automatic shipments will continue
until cancelled.
-
Give a 25% discount from retail.
-
Ship red wines only. Receive our selection of 6 bottles twice a year
(spring and fall). We ask that you receive at least 2
shipments.
- Wine
club shipments retail value will be approximate
$282 per shipment; you will be charged approximately $174 plus
tax and
shipment charges.
-
Provide tasting notes with food pairing suggestions
-
Notify you of our annual winemakers' dinner
-
Invite you to a Buon' Amici only
tasting
We
currently produce fourteen different wines, ten varietals, three blends
and a special Riserva Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are pre-released to
the wine club since our production is very limited and the wines may
sell out before release to the general public. The number of wines
released each year varies. During drought conditions, we make fewer
wines, usually eliminating a blend. While other years the vintage may
give us a exceptional crop or an experiment in the vineyard yields
spectacular results in the winery or our daughters try something new.
These special circumstances give us a few special bottles, which we
make available only to the wine club.
We
invite you to join us. Receive our selection of 6 bottles, twice a
year, charged to your credit card.
Any additional purchases will be 25% less than the full retail value.
By enrolling in the club you promise that you will receive at
least two shipments before requesting a
cancellation.
