Gold Medal Wine Club Review | Pricing

When we decided to write a Gold Medal Wine Club review, we focused on the "Gold Club". This is the most popular and the most inexpensive wine club they offer. For $39 a month you receive two bottles of wine (red and white) from a small California winery. 

As we noted above, there are five additional niche wine clubs offered by the Gold Medal Wine Club. They are;

The Platinum Club - 2 Bottles ($89) | This is a premium club. You can expect 90+ rated wines from top wineries in California. You'll receive wines that are a cut above the Gold Club. In some cases, these are rare or smaller production wines. 

The Pinot Noir Club - 2 Bottles ($75) | You guessed it. This Gold Medal Wine Club is focused on Pinot Noir. The "it" grape for a while, Pinot Noir is considered a winemakers' wine. This club will introduce you to some of the best producers of this fickle wine. The wines are sourced from both California and international wineries. 

The Garagiste Club - 2 Bottles ($75) | The term Garagiste was first used in France to describe ultra small production winemakers. This is a fun club if you are into discovering the next cult wine. We haven't found too many ultra-small production wine clubs in our searches, so this is unique. Serious wine lovers are likely to enjoy the garagiste wine club.

The International Wine Club - 3 Bottles ($75) | This Gold Medal Wine Club offering only ships four times per year. They scour the globe for great wine values and great producers. This is an adventurous wine club.

The Diamond Wine Club - 2 Bottles ($179) | This Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Club ships four times per year. The price isn't a misprint. This is an exclusive wine club. Only 500 members are let in. If you are one of them, you will be treated to some of the best Cabernet Sauvignon made in California. This is a wine club for collectors. And a wine club for Cab lovers. 

Gold Medal Wine Club | Service

The story behind the wine is part of the joy of being a wine lover. Gold Medal Wine Club sends "The Wine Press" along with your shipments. This is a nicely crafted mini-magazine that tells you all about the winery and wine that is in your shipment. We feel like this is above and beyond what you typically get in a wine club shipment. 

The magazine included an interview with the winemaker, a discussion of the wine region where the grapes were grown and recipes that pair perfectly with the wine. We bumped up our Gold Medal Wine Club review after reading through it. 

The Gold Medal Wine Club website is nice. It's easy to navigate and the pricing is easy to understand. We used the online chat feature to ask a few questions while we were browsing and the answers were prompt. 

The club also has some nice member benefits like; refer friends and family and get a free bottle of wine, you receive special discounts when you order wine through their online store, you can sign up for the Plus program. When you are part of the Plus program, you will receive an extra bottle that is a rare or small production wine with your regular shipments.
