Dedalus Wine


This club is an awesome, occasionally bumpy, always fun ride. We stop at the best vineyards, explore ancient family-owned caves, and drink exciting wines. Every month, we’ll tell you a bit about the place the grapes grew, the people who make the wine, why we selected it and we might even let you know what food to have around when you’re about to pull that cork. One thing we don’t do: compromise. This isn’t about trophy wines, or big scores. This is about getting out there and exploring real wine, visiting old vineyards, meeting the winemakers and understanding what makes good juice. This is about terroir.

As a member of Dirt: A Wine Club, you’ll enjoy the following benefits:

  • Three new, terroir driven wines most months;
  • Our digital fact sheet describing the wines, where they came from and what makes them special;
  • Advanced notice for allocated wines and Dedalus events;
  • Invitations to small, exclusive Dirt: A Wine Club community food and wine tastings.
  • A 10% discount on most purchases at the Dedalus Wine Shop (excludes wine dinners and other events co-sponsored by our partner organizations);
  • A 10% discount on any Dedalus Wine Class;

Picking up your monthly allotment of Dirt wines couldn’t be easier. They’re ready by the 1st of every month. We’ll send you a reminder e-mail as soon as they arrive at the shop. Just pop on down and pick them up!

Dirt – May 2012 – Back to Burgundy

We might all occupy different waypoints on the same wine drinking continuum. Invariably, most people start somewhere else – in the US, usually with Zinfandel or Cabernet Sauvignon – and, unbeknownst to themselves, spend years slowly moving towards Burgundy. Some of us move more rapidly in that direction. This trio of wines is an encouragement [...read more]

The Dirt – March 2012 – A trio of Dirty Zins?

What happened in March? How did we end up with a trio of Zins from California in a wine club that focuses on Old World terroir? Was there an abduction? Is this our way of meeting the kidnappers’ demands (give us some Zin or the Gevrey gets it)? Nothing so diabolical. I remember the first [...read more]
