I received a mailing for four Seasons Wine Club. They (according to the brochure) shop the world for interesting wines off the beaten path that offer great value and are little known or distributed.They offered an introductory case for $70 ($86 with shipping) and each quarter they send a case for $120 ($145 or so with shipping.) You can opt out any time, skip a quarter, send back wines you didn't like, etc. They send 2 bottles each of 6 wines.
My question is if anyone has used them and can offer comments? Service, selection, quality of wines, etc?
If I go ahead with it I'll post my impressions of the wines
Follow Ups:
Unfortunately, I've also read that the 4 Seasons Wine Club has a lot of customer complaints about random billing charges and some of the promised wines not ever being delivered. I would avoid them for now too until they can get everything sorted out.

I think their wine club is pretty good.

I went to the website for Four Seasons and it seems more like a marketing company than real wine lovers. Anytime I see offerings of free stuff (just like Gevallia coffee) I wonder about who the real target market is. I mean is any real coffee lover going to buy preground coffee? No. Anyone who buys a lot of wine already has a corkscrew right?Have you looked at K and L out of northern Ca? They have a great mail order department. I get a monthly or so newsletter, weekly emails and they have several clubs that do monthly or so shipping. They cover the whole range of prices, They also do some of their own importing so you can find interesting items at good prices...their champagne stuff is killer.
I live in a wine growing region (I'm a winemaker also) but we are very isolated from a large city. My buying options are pretty limited unless I want something local. I rely on K and L a lot. Also if you are on the east coast look at Sams in Chicago.

I gave my wife the champagne membership (the gift that keeps on costing) a couple of years ago. We've been pretty happy with their choices.
I have tried K&L way back when. There was another West Coast shop I used to order via mail from....can't remember the name but their newsletter/wine list was hand written with their wine comments. I think Zinfandel was their passion.Do you bottle and sell wines? What is the name of your winery.
I'm considering trying the 4 Seasons just because the price is so low, so I'll post my comments when I've had a chance to taste the selections.
> There was another West Coast shop I used to order via mail from...>...maybe this was the one but i don't know about the zinfandel focus.
These guys publish a monthly newsletter, have a very wide selection and the best prices I have seen anywhere. Plus they will ship it to you just about anywhere.
And you can sign up for their monthly selections.
"Do you bottle and sell wines? What is the name of your winery."Not only that, but I make wine too! Actually our label is called Trust. We will finally have wine to sell in May. My first release includes Syrah, Cab Franc Rose', Riesling and soon a Semillon Ice Wine. Cab and Cab blend come in late fall/early winter.
If you're ever in Walla Walla....
Steve
I'm never in Walla Walla. About 10 years go my wife and I went to Seattle on vacation and toured the closer wine region (I think it's Columbia Valley??) Where hogue cellars is.So maybe you'll sell me a bottle or two via mail order.....?
Good luck with your venture
Very thorough and well-written article. Thanks a lot!
