Things to know
This special wine club is designed to teach you about something different than just different varietals and wine regions (like most wine clubs), it’s designed to teach you to learn to taste and compare California wines. This is something that most of us learn by doing a lot of wine tasting in wine country, not usually something we learn at home.
It’s important to know that Dean & DeLuca specializes in California wines, so essentially this is a California wine club. While we love California wine more than any other region, not everyone does so we wanted to be sure to point that out.

We chose Margaret to head up our Great Comparisons Club because of her fantastic knowledge of how to taste, compare and enjoy California wines, but we liked even more than that about her! It turns out Margaret is a real listener too. "I really love to build relationships by talking to my customers, getting to hear what is happening in their part of the world, and learning what wines they are enjoying now. That way I can offer more and more ways to have fun comparing those great small-production California wines that I know and love." Margaret says, "Let's get some great California comparisons going and have a party!"
GREAT COMPARISONS CLUB, $150 a month, plus shipping.
- Three outstanding regional wines a month, chosen by Margaret.

So many appellations, so little time. Let our own Margaret Fasone, California wine expert, take you on a tasting tour of California wines every month via our Great Comparisons Club.
