Q: What are the wine regions we will explore in the club?
A: Through our special events and featured wineries we will explore every Canadian wine region that is producing vinifera grapes. Including: the Okanagan Valley, Niagara, the Similkameen, Vancouver Island, Prince Edward County, Lake Erie North Shore, Nova Scotia, Quebec, and other emerging regions!
Q: What is the tasting notes archive and where do I access it?
A: Members often ask if Carl has reviewed a wine or if they can access the tasting notes for a wine. This can help a lot if you're deciding when to drink a wine, or just want to learn a bit more about the wine when you're about to open something from your cellar. Ironically, wineries don't often publish tasting notes of their previous vintages once they're sold out...but you will have access to them! Once you set up your login to the Carl's Wine Club website, you will be able to access a searchable archive of Carl's tasting notes and scores, updated frequently with newly reviewed wines. Carl tastes and scores hundreds and hundreds of Canadian wines each year.
Q: What benefits do you offer for in person wine tours to Canadian wine regions?
A: VIP Unlimited members can access a complimentary consult with Carl & Mira to share specific advice and recommendations for your trip. We can assist you with itinerary planning, bookings, shipping your wine back home, and even provide a complimentary tasting for up to 4 guests!
Q: What is your refund policy on memberships?
A: If for any reason you are not satisfied with your membership, you can request a refund in full within 30 days of activation. If you have used your free shipping credits or discounts, the amount of the charges you would have incurred without membership will be deducted from the refund owing.

About Carl's Wine Club
When we started Carl's Wine Club on July 1, 2020, we were in the thick of the pandemic...and we found a way to build community while supporting World Class Canadian wineries.
I've now tasted well over 3,500 Canadian wines - a tough job, but someone has to do it!
I continue to search for the very best wineries to share with you, and the most exciting wines. We feature a different Canadian winery every 1-2 weeks to members, often with exclusive releases not available anywhere else.
Join us in the 'Canadian Wine Challenge' and discover more Canadian wine this year! With your VIP Unlimited membership, you'll get free shipping for 6+ bottles every time plus lots of other great benefits.
Thank you for sharing our passion and supporting the Club and World Class Canadian Wineries!
Cheers,
Carl
