You’ve probably noticed that LENNDEVOURS has a new sponsor, the California Wine Club. When the first contacted me, I wasn’t interested… and with good reason. This is a New York wine blog and I don’t sell advertorial.

But, when they offered to send me the monthly club shipments and let me write open, honest reviews of the wines if I want to, I became a bit more interested. When they told me that they’d be up for me doing blind tastings against New York wines, I decided they were a company worth partnering with.

So, please welcome the California Wine Club to the LENNDEVOURS family and keep an eye out for the first reviews, which should be published this week. Of course, the first shipment didn’t allow for blind tasting (it was a zin and a petite sirah and those aren’t grown here) but future shipments likely will.
