Philosophy, Description & Wines

Friends of Waugh Cellars

As our customer base has grown – and we’ve had the pleasure to meet so many of you, the desire to create wines exclusively for our most loyal wine lovers has led me to seek out truly special vineyards, ones that are not always on the radar but offer unique opportunities for one-of-a kind wines. 

As demand has increased for our small production wines though, it has become more difficult to insure that there were enough bottles to sell to everyone who wanted them. In fact, every Waugh Cellars wine since 2001 has SOLD OUT, often times leaving our customers without a favorite for months or even until the next vintage.

That’s why we decided to create the Friends of Waugh Cellars. After all it’s you who make what we do possible and it’s our sincere hope that with this program, you’ll always have a bottle of Waugh Cellars on hand to share with family and friends.

Many of these wines are made in such small quantities that they are not available to the general public and are only sold through the Friends of Waugh Cellars.

The Club

Four times a year you'll receive three, six or nine bottles of Waugh Cellars award winning wines, along with my tasting notes. Sometimes the wines will be our latest releases other times it will be extremely rare bottlings; all shipments will be a mix of varietals giving you the chance to discover your favorites.

The goal of the club however is to offer complete flexibility – You’d rather receive more Cabernet than Chardonnay?  Done.  Three bottles of Riesling in addition to your scheduled order?  Of course.  Want your shipment to arrive a few weeks early or after you return from vacation?  It’s your club.
