The Wine Country Designated Driver's Club is a social networking meetup group geared towards wine enthusiasts visiting wine country in a responsible manner.

My group is designed to put likeminded people together, visiting Napa, Sonoma, etc. in a fun manner but someone needs to be the sober skipper. Meet new friend …

We want to form a cooperative for the purchase of small production mostly sustainable/organic/natural wines.  Our events will consist mostly of selecting wines for the coop and offering various benefits to members.  We will continue to organize programs that enhance a broader appreciation of the Wondrous and Wacky World of Wine in different settings. Most people are content social …

How many times have you gone to a region-focused wine tasting event and are introduced to at least one underdog varietal that some artisan winemaker is producing garagiste-style (ie; on a super tiny production level and/or in his or her own garage), and you think how incredible it would be to get your hands on more of this varietal? Don't get me wrong, I love my Chardonnays, Cabernets, Zinfandels, and Pinots, but that's just the tip of the wineberg, right? There's a whole, mind-blowing world of …
