First, you asked for it.
Second, we spend a tremendous time to curate wine, to visit wineries in France, to taste, to speak with distributors, importers, sommeliers and peers. This has a lot of value, which we are happy to share.
A 3-tier club, curating wine for you, once a month.
Tier 1: 3 bottles $45
Tier 2: 2 or 3 Bordeaux $60
Tier 3: v-Somm $0
We guaranty that the price you pay is good. If you find the same wines same vintages at a cheaper price at any retail store in Austin, we will refund twice the difference.
While it is easy to find wines in the $5-$10 range, we never tasted anything decent in that price range. Whereas there are really nice bottles in the $10-20 range.
Each month, you get 3 bottles for of what we pour in the restaurant, being white, red, rosé, or sparkling. Most will be crowd pleasers but from clearly identifiable properties.
Bordeaux, and mostly red Bordeaux, is core business for us. We pride ourselves in having a deep understanding of the region and we source from the biggest Bordeaux importer in the US, as well as directly with "Négociants" in France. It is not uncommon to have 2 pallets of Bordeaux delivered at WWB.
Each month, you get 3 bottles of renown

Each month, you get 3 bottles of renown Chateaux, ready to drink, with 3 to 10 years of age. Exceptionally, when we find a great deal on a nice property, we will pick only 2 bottles of higher value.

As this is a concierge service, we are happy to speak about your needs.
Please reach out at pierre@westlakewinebar.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Absolutely YES! Tiers are not overlapping.
Sometimes. When we are re-stocking wine which is on our By-the-Glass list, you are welcome to pass by to try it. However, the magic of our wine club is curated wine in line with our style.
It depends. If we have inventory, if the price point is similar, if we have the time, then yes. But if you joined the club, it is because you trust us and you want to have interesting wines presented to you. This is a discovery subscription.
Within a month of your delivery, you show us a proof of purchase of the same wines same vintages, and we will write you a check for twice the difference. Simple.
First, we buy a lot, maybe not the volume of big retail chains, but certainly more than individual liquor shops. Second, we focus on human size producers who don't have the bandwidth to sell to big retail chains. In the rare occurrences where you will find our wines at Costco or Total Wine, the minimal mark-up applied to Club Members should keep our prices below. If not, please see question just above.
The selection is 3 different wines, which can be a mix-and-match of red-white-rose-sparkling, or all white, or all red, or 1 and 2, etc. depending on how we feel that day. This is a discovery subscription.
We will be closed Tuesday 12/10 for a private party.
Thank you for your understanding.
