Get in on Eater Wine Club, a monthly wine subscription

One of the things we love most about food is wine. Specifically, the wine you get to drink while dining out at your favorite restaurant, be it your go-to local joint or the fanciest place in town. This is wine selected by someone who knows what they’re doing — a professional who understands how to decode a label and what kind of grapes will make your food taste that much better. So what if, we wondered, we made it possible to experience that kind of hospitality right at home?

Get to know Eater Wine Club, a monthly wine subscription box. Our extensive network of local editors have teamed up with sommeliers and beverage directors from some of our favorite restaurants, bars, and shops across the country to curate a new experience each month, with ever-changing themes and bottles (two or four per box, your choice!) and plenty of perks. Sign up and you’ll get a box full of surprising and highly drinkable wines on your doorstep every month, plus an exclusive newsletter and an invite to our monthly wine party.

For June 2021, our wine curator is Liz Martinez, an award-winning sommelier who can be found these days picking and pouring the wines at the Royce, one of Detroit’s essential drinking destinations. Martinez has a love for wines with a long history and sense of place; so for her Eater Wine Club selections, she’s taking us back to the so-called Old World, to well-known regions like Spain, Croatia, France, and Greece — to uncover a few unexpected, lesser-known wines you’ve probably never heard of.

So join the club and invite your friends — from the one who geeks out over cool labels and funky tastes to the one who just wants you to hand them a glass of something delicious that’ll make their food pop. Sign up for Eater Wine Club here — we’ll see you at the party.
