Wine Club membership as wedding present for couple in USA?
September 17, 2024 6:23 AM   Subscribe

A dear cousin is getting married in Cape Cod soon - yay! Unfortunately I can't make it and want to get her a nice gift that will keep on giving.

I was thinking of something like membership to the Wine Society, which husband and I were given as a wedding present and which we really enjoyed.

She and her spouse will be living in RI/MA - what would be the US equivalent? or is there a regional/local version I should check out?

If you know more specifically where they will be living, I can check with my family - they are all wine buffs and they all live in the Cape Cod area (my parents on the Cape proper, my brother's family just before the Cape Cod Canal on the mainland).

I have received gifts of wine via wine.com to MA. I’m not sure about quality of their wine and selection though - maybe others will have better US suggestions. some of the eastern states are a bit tricky for shipping wine due to blue laws so one may end up paying for the fact that a company has waded through the red tape rather than just for good wine…

Best answer: If you want something local, I can highly recommend Sydenstricker Glass. We've got pieces that are over 25 years old, still as vibrant as the day we bought them.

Best answer: Rhode Island and Massachusetts have differing laws regarding the shipment of wine. Massachusetts says yes, Rhode Island says only if the purchaser does so "in person". But it is possible to ship to one of the states you list.

Bonny Doon is a great wine club. Las Jaras as well.

Response by poster: oof, they will likely be actually living in RI so looks like I'm ditching the wine club idea, sadly, but thank you for the suggestions, and might investigate that beautiful glass.
