Each month, members of Après Wine Company’s “Wines of the Month Club” receive selections from international world-class boutique vineyards. Unlike winery clubs that focus only on their own brands, usually from specific regions, we feature selections from around the globe. Our goal is to introduce you to vintners and varietals that you might not discover on your own.

We offer three tiers suited to your budget. Each level includes two bottles of wine exclusively discounted to Wines of the Month Club members. Club selections will include red, white and sparkling wines, tailored to the seasons. For example, in February (Valentine’s Day) or December, one bottle might be a sparkling wine. In winter months there will be more red wines in the plans.

Easy Rider Club – $29.99 plus tax/month: We search the globe for rare wines with great flavor and small price tags. We do the work, you enjoy the wine.

Slalom Club – $59.99 plus tax/month: There is no question phenomenal wine with big price tags can make you very popular at a cocktail party…but what about spending half that for the same impressive quality? Our expert wine team sniffs out these previously undiscovered beauties before they become famous and pricey. You can say “I knew them when!”

Black Diamond Club – $89.99 plus tax/month: Here we take you from the groomed runs to ride the steep deep powder of wine enjoyment. We focus on world class wines that take you to the next level with selections that are sure to rock your world!

Wines will be available for pick up in the first week of each month at our retail store (3668 Lake Tahoe Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, CA  96150).  Shipping is available upon request.

So travel to the great wineries of the world from the comfort of Tahoe with Après Wine Company! Create a year-round gift by giving a friend an Après Wine Club membership.

Wines of the Month Club Members will also receive:

• $5 Après Wine Company Tasting Card with each Wine of the Month Club pick up.
• A 10% discount on all retail purchases including the Club Wines once they’ve been released to our retail store.

We can ship your fine wines (and gifts!).  With the exception of a few states, wine can be delivered via UPS from our door to yours, provided a 21 year old is there to accept the package.  If you have any questions about shipping wine, feel free to call or email us.

Sunday Sippers Wine Tastings at Après Wine Company

by Becky Bell, Editor, Tahoe Arts & Mountain Culture (www.tahoeculture.com), Posted on December 11, 2009

Like the golden rule for meeting people, JP Lonergan of Aprés Wine Company in South Lake Tahoe suggests you have an open mind while tasting wine. You don’t want to miss out on a lasting relationship because of preconceived notions, especially when it comes to wine!

Great advice say sippers who meet six different varietals during the educational Sunday evenings, making new friends along the way.

A wine connoisseur overflowing with knowledge and a wonderfully relaxed style,  JP introduces new and repeat sippers to a tantalizing selection of six wines every Sunday evening during the Sunday Sippers Wine Tastings.  JP provides a comprehensive review of the grapes and appellations during his taste tour, identifying the subtle differences for sippers seated around the wine bar.

For only $10, the Sunday Sippers Wine Tastings start at 5pm and have become very popular with locals and visitors looking to learn more about wines without breaking the bank.

In fact, Aprés Wine Company prides itself in offering an extensive selection of quality wines from California and around the world to match every wine lover’s budget.  Best of all you can taste before you buy from over 50 wines served daily by the taste, glass, or carafe on their unique Enomatic wine-dispensing machines.

To top off your wine tasting is the Aprés Bistro serving their signature fare handcrafted by chef Zach Barnhill. Try favorites like the Stuffed Figs with black figs stuffed with smoked mozzarella, wrapped in bacon and sprinkled with fresh basil, then drizzled with balsamic reduction; and the Smoked Salmon BLT with house smoked wild sockeye salmon, bacon, tomatoes and smoked mozzarella on grilled focaccia drizzled with honey basil oil.

Reservations are necessary for the Sunday Sippers Wine Tastings which start at 5pm for just $10.  Reserve your seat at the wine bar by calling 530-544-WINE.

For those who can’t make a Sunday Sippers evening, JP and Barbara invite you to the following special events in December to toast new and old friends, and ring in the New Year:

• Happy Hour, Tuesday through Saturday: 4-6pm & 9-10pm
• December 15 at 6pm:  Value Wines Wine Tasting, $15
• December 22 at 6pm: Big Reds! Wine Tasting, $25
• December 29 at 6pm:  Après One Year Anniversary Party, $15
• December 31 at 9pm:  New Year’s Eve Celebration, $79 per person, $149 per couple

Cheers!

Every Tuesday

Join us for “Tasting Tuesdays” each week and be entertained and enlightened by our staff, guest hosts and visiting winemakers.  They’ll share their wit and wisdom over wine (but of course!) and delicious appetizers inspired by their selections.

RSVP 530-544-9463.

Click on the Events Calendar tab above for a full schedule of events.

For a truly unique wine tasting experience, over 50 different wines can be sampled daily on Après’ innovative Enomatic wine dispensing machines. By inserting an Après Wine Pass (similar to a debit card) into the Enomatic, customers choose a wine, wait a second for the pour, then… swirl, sniff, sip and enjoy!
