| Pump your own wine! "We may literally be the only wine store on the planet to offer wine you can pump," Todd Miller announces. After a year of research and custom-design work, we now offer customers the fun 'chore’ of pumping their own wine from our stainless steel gas-station-type nozzles," founder Todd Miller explains. In keeping with the store’s 'garage’ theme, Miller found, sourced and blended a Rhone Blend (R1) and a Bordeaux Blend (B1); customers take a half-gallon jug-style bottle and pump whichever wine they want from the unusual handsome nozzles, which are fed from barrels in an adjoining room of the store. Miller commissioned a metalworker to create the pristine customized stainless steel nozzles---these are a new signature for The Wine Garage. A jug costs $29.99. B1 (Bordeaux Blend #1), is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Merlot and Petit Verdot and is sourced from Sonoma, Lake, Napa and Solano Counties. R1 (Rhone Blend #1), also is a cepage of Syrah, Zinfandel, Grenache, Mourvedre and Petite Sirah, sourced from Sonoma, Lake and Napa Counties. The Wine Garage’s winemaker, under Miller’s direction, is 4th-generation California winemaker Massimo Monticelli. The Wine Garage Wine Club is a great success. As many of our customers know, Todd personally finds great wines at even greater prices. As an exclusive member, you'll enjoy many privileges -- including the opportunity to receive limited production wines that cannot be found elsewhere. Occasionally Todd will find incredible wine deals; i.e., last year he found a reserve quality '95 and '97 Howell Mountain Cab that would usually retail at $60; our retail: $15 and $17. When Todd comes across incredible buying opportunities he will alert members via email and give them first priority. Members will have their own personal bargain hunter seeking out deals in the heart of the Napa Valley. Our Wine Club will include a six bottle selection of wines during the following months: October, November, December, February, April, and May. Each selection will consist of six new wines. You will have the option of becoming a member of our Red & White Club, the Red Only Club, or the Intense Red Club. The club selection will contain three wines that are $15 and under, and three wines that are $15 and over, with the exception of our Intense Red Club which typically includes $20 to $25 bottles.
