Wine Lockers

Wine Program

Wine lockers are currently being built and will be ready for use soon! Each locker will be non-conditioned and have a brass plate bearing your name. By purchasing a locker, you will be enrolled in the club's Wine Program for three (3) years for free and be able to purchase bottles of wine at substantial savings. Bottles purchased will be placed in the members' wine lockers when they arrive and stored there until they are ready to drink them. Members may call ahead to have a wine removed from their locker to allow it to breathe or to have it chilled for their arrival. There is only a $10.00 corkage fee charge per bottle. Wine stored in wine lockers that are not purchased through the club or Wine Program will be subject to a $30.00 corkage fee per bottle.

Our very first wine program has begun! Join now for only $100/year! As a member of the Wine Program, you will be informed about wines that will be featured quarterly including seasonal, Reserve and pre-release wines. You will be able to purchase bottles of featured wines or cases of wine at 20% above cost. You will be notified of special and promotional wine offers. You may also purchase wines of your own choosing based on availability at 20% above cost. In addition, you will be invited to complimentary tastings and receive priority for wine tasting dinners and other wine events. Members will be notified when their wine orders arrive. For Members who have wine lockers, their wine orders will be placed in their lockers. You are not required to have a wine locker to participate in the Wine Program. Wines purchased through the Wine Program may be served at the Club subject to a corkage fee of $10 per bottle.

The fee for a wine locker is a one-time fee of $750.00. Members will own their lockers for the duration of their membership.
