A Few Thoughts About Our Wine Clubs:

Below is an excerpt from an email we sent in response to one of our wonderful Canopy Club Wine Club members who inquired about our pricing philosophy and the thinking behind how we designed our wine clubs. We thought if they had a question, others may also, so here's our response:

"Thank you for contacting us & thank you for being a valued Ash Hollow Canopy Club member. We sure understand your concerns; please allow us to explain our thinking and address your questions.

We warehouse and ship our wines via an independent third party warehouse. They charge a packaging and handling fee for each shipment of wine we send whether it's a wine club shipment, an on-line order, or a request via our tasting room. We know that shipping is expensive with rising fuel costs, etc, and we knew that the warehouse was going to charge a packaging & handling fee, so we did two things.

First, we feel we priced our wines very reasonably; at least that's what we hear regularly from restaurants, wine shops, and our customers. We believe that all of our wines over-deliver for the price considering they are estate, hand-grown, hand-harvested, low-production, premium boutique, consistently delicious wines from Walla Walla. As a Canopy Club member, you always receive a 20% discount on all wine purchases. If you compare our wines to others, we think you'll find that they are a wonderful value.

Secondly, we designed our wine club so that you only receive 3 bottles per shipment & 3 different wines each time to try (see above for "Winemaker's Choice" & "Reds Only" options). For the Canopy Club, that's only a case (12 bottles) per year. Compared to other clubs that send a lot more wine per year, and several bottles of the same wine, we felt 3 bottles per shipment was really reasonable given the value. Each club shipment runs about $100 to $150. Three different bottles gives you a chance to try different wines and decide which ones you'd like to purchase on-line. Your on-line club customer profile automatically calculates and gives you a 20% discount on all purchases. We never charge a tasting fee for wine club members and all their guests here at our tasting room, and you always receive that 20% discount here as well.

As for placing a price range or selection option on wine club shipments, we apologize, but we are simply not currently able to accomplish those options. Different scenarios for different club members would make it nearly impossible to get them right. What we do offer is to hold your wine club shipment here at the tasting room; we'd love it if you'd come visit us to pick up your wine club wines and save the shipping and handling fees. We have several club members who do this when they come visit.

If the Canopy Club is too much wine for you, we'd be happy to "downgrade" you to the Cordon Club which is only two shipments per year and a 10% discount; just let us know. We sure appreciate your business and inquiry. Please feel free to contact us with anything. We're here so that we can all have fun!"

p.s. we're happy to report they're still a Canopy Club Member....
