Wine clubs are new on the Timeless Wines website, but this particular club has been around for a while. Over the years, many of our regular customers have requested a mixed case of wine be sent to them monthly. We gladly obliged and our private wine club was born…but now it is available to all!
This club will send you 12 bottles of wine each month. It consists primarily of red, however, during the spring you may find some Rose, summer may bring you some whites, and, of course, some Champagne in December. You will receive 4 different wines, 3 bottles of each. The price will vary each month, depending upon what we are sending out. However, we aim to keep the price between $250 and $300 with free shipping.
This club is focused toward wine connoisseurs that are looking to try some familiar regions, but also explore new varietals and regions from our 13 countries. All wines will be ready to drink, but capable of aging for a few more years as well.
As always, you can stop at any time and leave comments about each shipment to help us better select your wines.

“1752” is the name of the Damilano Barolo Cannubi Riserva, in honor of the year in which the historic bottle was first marked “Cannubi”. It still exists today perfectly conserved by the Manzone family in Bra, close to Barolo. The bottle is clearly marked as being of “1752” vintage, indicating that Cannubi historically precedes Barolo.

Review:
The purity of this wine is pretty phenomenal with blackberries, strawberries, fresh flowers and licorice. Hints of tar. It’s full-bodied, yet composed and compact with ultra fine tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Very structured. Try after 2024.

Mollydooker Blue Eyed Boy is made from 100 percent Shiraz.
Dense in color with vibrant dark purple hues. A complex, alluring and lifted nose of blueberry, dark cherry, caramel and hints of vanilla bean leap from the glass. Powerful yet delicate, the wine voices luscious layers of fresh berries, black pepper, coffee and a finishing note of chocolate cream. Full bodied, well defined tannins provide the backbone, as the wine fills the mouth and continues to evolve with every glass poured.
