No! Your membership is billed quarterly. We send you a notification before shipping your wine each quarter. You can cancel at any time. We don’t want you getting stuck with anything you don’t want. Please note, that after your first discounted fee, your quarterly fee will re-adjust to $249. But again – there’s no obligation. Simply cancel any time.

Will Bonner is an entrepreneur, author, and the founder of the Bonner Private Wine Partnership. His family “accidentally” got into the wine business about a decade ago when his father, Bill, bought an isolated mountain ranch with one of the highest altitude vineyards in the world. Will figured that there were probably other small wineries putting out great wines that most people had probably never heard of. So, he founded the partnership to bring these wines to your doorstep.

Diego Samper is the Partnership’s “wine explorer.” He puts his boots on the ground to make deals with vineyards and bring you great wine.

Barry Gilbert is a former tech executive and Vice Chairman of Sharper Image. After retiring, Barry’s passion for wine led him to create WineVIP, an importer and distributor that allows Americans to own foreign wines at “cellar prices.” He knows the ins and outs of shipping to ensure that wines arrive tasting just as they did in the cellar.

Julien Miquel is a former winemaker from Bordeaux. He has made wines all over the world from Spain to California, including at the famous Chateau Margaux. He is the founder of the award-winning site Social Vignerons.

What you see on your order form is what you pay. Nothing more. Usually our membership costs $249 a quarter. However, your first quarter shipment – including your collection of Argentine wines – will cost just $199. On top of that, our refund policy guarantees that you’ll love what you receive or we’ll simply give you a full refund (and the wine is yours to keep). 

After your first quarter, subsequent shipments will be billed at the regular price of $249. However, we will notify you before shipping and you can cancel at any time. You are not locked in. We have zero interest in sending people wines they won’t drink.

A “corked” wine is a wine that has oxidized because the cork has failed, letting in too much air. It’s a rare occurrence these days because bottling standards are much better than they were fifty years ago. In the time we’ve been tasting and importing wines, we haven’t yet encountered a corked bottle. However, if you do, give us a call and we’ll make it right.

Same deal with broken bottles. We don’t skimp on packaging. We use great carriers. So we don’t expect bottles to ever arrive broken. In the rare event that ones does, just give us a call.
