We just tried the Xinomavro from the Wine Club. Wow! Great wine! And something I never ever would have tried or even heard of. Thank you!

Dave always creates incredible experiences and curations. It's a deeper and subtler experience when you know the history and story of what you're drinking.

For my son's wedding in San Francisco, we needed Champagne for the post-wedding brunch, for the groomsmen not drinking beer, and just to have on hand for visiting family to sip. Dave provided us with, yes, Veuve Cliquot, excellent French Champagne, but also two outstanding special occasion wines, Marie Copinet Rose Caracter Brut, a beautiful grower-producer Champagne from a small mom-and-pop label, and the Corte Bianca Franciacorta Extra Brut, a hand-made sparkling wine from Italy. The wines were delivered to our house, and all for a sweet price. Raves all around. He made me look like I had a clue.

People in Grass Valley are fortunate to have a store like this. There would not be many of them outside of a much bigger city. They also operate a killer mailing list subscription program in which proprietor Dave Chambers curates a collection of special wines from America and beyond for his subscribers. I have been introduced to many interesting and delightful wines that I would've never discovered otherwise. Keep it up Dave!

As a former wine industry coworker of Dave's, working alongside Dave was fun, inspiring and rewarding. I can see that in his boutique wine shop, he has curated a diverse and hard to find wine inventory, made it accessible for the masses at reasonable prices and continues to share his knowledge and passion inviting customers to come back for more.

What I found different about Dave is that you get a little (or a lot) of education on every interaction, or purchase. I really value that. The club wine selections offer hand-picked global winemakers, with the stories behind them. And, there are some excellent events, with featured speakers.

Dave makes good wine accessible and enjoyable to choose. I think it's really important to not feel intimidated by the industry, by the selections and by the community of wine drinkers. We're all at Dave's doorstep for a reason, we just want a good tasting wine and we want to know why it tastes good. Dave does that while being so friendly and accessible himself.

After months of Zoom fatigue, Dave’s engaging virtual tasting and history lesson on U.S. Prohibition was the only call our team didn’t want to end! I enthusiastically recommend his corporate program as a welcome break and joyous team-building activity.

What I love about Dave Chambers is his depth of wine knowledge and the passion he passes along through his club membership and newsletters. While I am a lover of Pinot and I think my awareness is pretty developed at this stage, Dave has that knack of being able to find often little known vineyards that are diamonds in the rough which expands my horizons and taste buds. Being in his wine club has been a joy for the last 12 years for me and now I rely almost 80% on Dave to stock the shelves in my 'wine closet'. Plus the bonus, Dave has opened the doors to his home whenever I have business in San Francisco for superb wine tastings and just really true camaraderie and friendship. In Dave I trust.

Dave has a fantastic skill at finding great wine that is also unique - these are wines that I would not have found my self. The selections run the gamut from CA to Europe, and we are always excited to find out which little treasures are in our shipment.
