I just got mail: "Your Sterling Vineyards Club merchandise has shipped."
Yes indeedy, last time I was in Napa Valley (a coupla weeks ago) I joined a wine club. I had always been certain that wine clubs were for other people. You know the type: the people who get "box seats" or tile their entryways in marble or can find decent-looking clothing that fits. THOSE people. Suddenly, now I are one. This is very weird.
(The fact that joining gave me 20% off on the case I bought that day had nothing to do with my decision. Really! The deciding factor was that I can't buy that one specific wine anywhere but the winery... UNLESS I join their club. If I'm a member I can have 'em ship it to me.)
Of course I promptly forgot all about it. Now I'm reminded that the primary symptom of being a wine club member is that wine starts showing up at your house on a regular basis.
Now I want clothing that fits.
