I enjoy opening my monthly package - not to mention the wine. The packaging is excellent. I've received a box dented in shipping, but the contents was well packed and intact. Love the stickers placed on the tissue wrapped bottles! I also appreciate the educational piece included in each package. The variety of wines is helping me to hone my likes and dislikes. I also like the opportunity to rate the wine and earn points! I would recommend this service - not just because I would get points for doing so!
