It is always a good day when you get wine in the mail. I recently joined the Forty-Five North Wine Club and received my first shipment.

This is the third and most recent wine club I have joined. My friends and I took a trip to Traverse City, Michigan a while back and discovered this gem of a winery. Every wine we have tried is amazing! My rule is that I can only join a wine club if I have open spots in my wine cabinet. So when I decided to join a new one, this was a no brainer. I couldn’t wait to get my first shipment.

With my wine club membership I receive a shipment of four wines six times a year, free tickets to events and 20 percent off wine purchases.

For my first shipment, I received a 2012 Chardonnay, 2011 Chardonnay, 2012 Pinot Noir and a Hard Cider.

I tried the Pinot Noir last night and it was fantastic! So smooth and velvety. It would be a great choice with chocolate.

Have you tried 45 North wines? Which are your favorite?
