Is anyone getting a wine advent calendar this year? I have always wanted to try one but I am not sure which one to get. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I do the Vinebox one. It’s fun; expensive for what it is but a novelty. The wine is decent 🤷🏻‍♀️ I know I’m overpaying for what I get, but I like it enough that I am fine with paying the cost. They have a 12 day and a 24 day one.

No. But if you do get one, I’d like to know your thoughts on it. Was looking to give as a gift.

I flip between wine, beer, and seasonings. The wine is always average, beers tend to be better quality. This year I haven't decided if it's beer or wine yet....

I am looking for wine decanter tags that are writable. I’d like to find a vintage looking silver option, but they all require engraving. I’m looking for something writable that I can change the label on when I host wine parties and I have a couple decanters on the table. Anyone have something similar and can share a link with me? I’m struggling to find anything that will work, other than writing on clear tape with a sharpie marker 😐

Hi everyone! I have been doing more ratings on Vivino as of late. If you use the app please feel free to follow my ratings, and I will do the same! I like to find more niche $20-60 wines from smaller wineries, as opposed to just going for the the Caymus/ opus of the world. If that’s you too I’d be happy to connect and share recommendations.

Looking for recommendations on best offsite storage company/facilities in the US. Needs to be able to handle shipment direct from importers/stores/wineries. Ideally able to handle shipments in bond. Looking for long term storage mainly for personal consumption over the years but selling a case/bottle or two in 10 years isn’t out of the picture. Have a facility in Europe but would be great to also have space in the US.
