Cork Crew FAQ
What is the Cork Crew Virtual Tasting Club?
The Cork Crew Tasting Club is a community of wine lovers that enjoy drinking and learning about wine. It's like a book club...but for wine! There are two virtual tasting party every month to choose from where we'll taste and learn about two wines based on a theme. Examples of past themes include: Battle of the Tempranillos, Exploring Argentina, Unique Reds, All About Orange Wine, Syrah vs. Shiraz, and many more!
There will also be at least one virtual community event every quarter, most often in the form of a Q&A with someone else from the wine world. Past guests have included: actor and winery founder Kyle MacLachlan, Karen MacNeil (author of the Wine Bible), Texas winemaker Andrew Sides and California winemaker Steve Matthiason, among many more. These community events can also be workshops or virtual game nights!

How Can this Club be for Both Wine Beginners and Experts?
Throughout the many tastings I've hosted, I've learned that it really doesn't matter what your level of wine knowledge is. There's always more to learn when it comes to wine and we can always learn from each other. The only requirement for this club is that you have a desire to learn about wine and spend time drinking wine with others!

Is Wine Included in the Ticket/Membership?
Wine is not included in your ticket purchase or membership. However, there is a box of wine you can purchase through my partners at Bottlerocket each quarter that can be delivered to your door. Otherwise, each month I will provide a list of recommendations at three different price points, but you also have the freedom to find whatever bottled you'd like that fits the theme! You're also welcome to join without the wine too.
