What Every Twenty-Something Needs— A Wine Club Membership
August 10, 2022
I first joined Firstleaf Wine Club in April of 2020. We were deep in the pandemic, and it was almost impossible to get to the store to find great wine. My best friend mentioned she had a wine subscription that is shipped to her house every month and me being the true wino I am, I said, “Say no more. How do I become a member?” That day she sent her referral link and the next thing I know I had curated wine coming to my doorstep in a few days – Thank God.
So why do I care so much about wine?
To be honest, I didn’t at first. I was your average college student and quality wine did not fit in the budget – Franzia was not making a wino out of me. But then, for a graduation requirement, I was lucky enough to find myself in a course all about making wine, wine chemistry, and learning about and creating the pottery that was used to make and store wine throughout history (and now I bet you all would like to submit your application to my undergrad). Through this course, I fell in love with wine and winemaking. Fast forward to today, and I am more passionate than ever about sharing and enjoying QUALITY wine with my community, friends, and family.
Why Firstleaf?
Firstleaf and I were a match from the beginning, but why do I recommend Firstleaf to my fantastic community? It is for everyone.
Firstleaf tailors that box to you and your preferences from your very first box. Your membership starts with a wine quiz where Firstleaf gets to know the flavors you like, in and out of wine, and uses that information to determine the wine that is perfect for you. From there, you will choose if you like dry or sweet, whites or reds, and domestic or imported. By the end of the quiz, you realize that Firstleaf knows you better than you know yourself because magically they provide you with a list of six amazing wines just for you!
Firstleaf even helps the most beginner wine lover to learn and experience new wine. In each box, you will also get a tasting card for each bottle in the box. The tasting cards tell you the story behind the wine, the flavor profile, any tasting notes, and more. I love these to challenge myself on what aromas, visuals, and flavors I find in the wine and then compare my notes with what is on the tasting card.
Once you try your wine, you can head over to your club page and rate your wine. This further tailors the wine to you and helps Firstleaf to select the bottles for your next box – their team samples over 10,000 wines a year to bring the best bottles for you, to you.
Finally, I love Firstleaf for its flexibility. I love getting Firstleaf monthly, but that does not always work for my schedule and budget. Firstleaf allows you to choose your frequency, the number of reds and whites (and now ROSE!), and the wines’ origin. I have even skipped months or shipped it to other addresses if I am traveling. So convenient!
How do you try it?
First, if you try it and hate it there are no strings attached – you can cancel at any time and there aren’t any cancellation fees. You can use my link to get your first 6-bottle box for $34.95 with FREE SHIPPING by using my code: becky22 at checkout.
If you become a Firstleaf Wine Club member, I would love to hear about your experience and if there are any wines I should try. Through my club membership, I have been able to try over 80 unique bottles of wine and I am excited to share this experience with you all.
