Wine Bench events across the country - We are currently in the beginning stages of planning small events in TX, LA and CA (other than Healdsburg!) to be scheduled throughout the year. Stay tuned for details in the very near future.
Lower shipping costs - We know shipping charges continue to rise and it's becoming increasingly harder for you to justify paying the shipping charges for your wine. We've been researching the solution for some time now and found our best solution will be to ship most of the packs via ground while the seasonal temperatures permit. If it is too warm or cold we will ship 3 day air which will still be less costly then 2 day air we have been shipping.
Increased variety of wine & limited releases www.michelschlumberger.com/schedule
WB only promotions on wine throughout the year - More offers for specials on reserve wines, access to large formats (magnums and more), free shipping offers, pre-packs of library wines or winemaker picks at special prices.
More Wine Club Exclusive events - We're working on ideas for this - early thoughts are: Join the harvest for one day, Winemaker for a day...Please email us if you have ideas winebench@michelschlumberger.com
Annual surprise gift - included in your last package of the year will be a small gift of appreciation from your friends at Michel-Schlumberger. We can't tell you more - it's a surprise!
