A Presidential Wine Club…
Posted on | January 7, 2006
…not bad for just $39.95 per month.
Bob Dickinson CEO of Carnival Cruise Lines is a serious wine collector. He has taken his passion and is making his knowledge and enthusiasm available to other wine enthusiasts. A wonderful idea.
The site’s blurb says that “The Presidential Wine Club provides a wide variety of features and benefits with one goal in mind: to enhance our members’ enjoyment of fine wine. Members will receive a monthly shipment of two bottles from the greatest wine producing regions of the world, including California, Italy, France, Chile and Australia. These exceptional wines are often not available in general distribution. Bob Dickinson will personally taste and approve each selection before it is shipped to members.” Well, that is putting your money where your mouth is.
One of the nicest features, don’t abuse it, is that you can ask Bob himself about his views on wine collecting and tasting. Does that mean he’s giving up his day job? How will he cope with all of your questions? What are the first two wines? Now there’s a question..
Terrific.
