Even before the current situation, our editors were big fans of anything that could be delivered right to our door (who doesn't love packages?). Groceries, beauty products, you name it, we have it delivered. That's why we couldn't be more excited to share with you a $50 wine credit courtesy of Bright Cellars!
Convenience is key for us, so when we heard the buzz surrounding a subscription service that delivers our favorite thing ever, WINE, we had to see what it was all about.
Bright Cellarsmakes trips to the liquor store obsolete, and we're here for it. Staying in is the new going out, and Bright Cellars is making the endless nights at home super enjoyable.
You start by taking a quiz on their site that helps them figure out what your taste preferences are (we love quizzes, so fun!). They ask you things like what type of chocolate you like and how you like your tea. From there, they build a personalized wine profile that's tailored to your palate.
We can't tell you how many times we've gotten bottles from the liquor store that we ended up hating, so we love that Bright Cellars algorithm does all the work for you.
Once you take the quiz, Bright Cellars sends you 4 bottles every month that they know you'll love. If you hate whites and adore reds, let them know, so they'll only send what you like.
Bright Cellars sources their wines from the best vineyards from around the world, and we are super impressed with the variety they have. Everything is bottled in California, so don't be confused when you see California on your Malbec from Mendoza's label!
What we really love is that each bottle comes with a corresponding card that tells you about the region it's from, tasting notes, recommendations for what foods to pair with it, as well as the temperature to serve it at. The guy at the liquor store never told us to serve Barbaresco at 45F - it tastes so much better chilled! We thought we knew wine before, but with Bright Cellars, we're always learning
We were stuck in a rut, getting the same bottle of Rosé over and over (basic, we know). But Bright Cellars always sends something new to try - it's really opened up our world to so many amazing wines we never knew were out there.
You get to see the wines they're gonna send before they ship, so you can start planning what cheese you're gonna buy for a fabulous night at home. Bottles cost around $20 each, and you can pause, tweak, or cancel your subscription at any time.
Rate and give feedback, so your shipments become more and more personalized. Every bottle they've sent is exceptional. And if you don't totally love a bottle, simply contact their wine concierge service, and they'll replace it for you in the next shipment.
If you're sick of the same bottle, wanna buff up your knowledge base, or even if you're already an amateur sommelier, Bright Cellarsis the wine club for you. The selection is incredible (blows the liquor store out of the water), and did we mention it gets delivered right to your door?
We've fallen in love with new blends, learned what foods to pair them with to really accentuate the taste, and learned so much about the world of wine. It's like taking a trip to wine country from the comfort of your couch. Bye-bye liquor store!
