Tasting Room Review
Described as a “wine experience that’s all about you,” Tasting Room changes the wine club experience by putting each member in control.
The Gist
Not sure if you’re a malbec kind of person, or if you prefer cabernet sauvignon? Is white actually your go-to, or should it really be red? Tasting Room is a wine experience meant to help you figure out what kind of wine you actually enjoy—and then sends you that kind of wine so you can enjoy more of it. The process starts with a tasting kit; you taste six different mini-bottles and let Tasting Room know what you think. From there, you get a personalized wine profile and start receiving shipments. You get to pick how many bottles, when you get ‘em, and you can even preview your selections—sort of like Trunk Club but for wine lovers.

Take Note
If you already know what kind of wine you prefer, you can shop a la carte rather than subscribe. Their wine shop sells bottles from across the globe, and each listing shows the flavor profile, a quick summary, pairing recommendations, and more fun details.
