The A-List from
Amalie Robert Estate
(aka How to never pay retail again)
We have developed the A-List to provide value to those who
enjoy our style of winegrowing. Long before we started growing our own wine, we
had experiences with other winery affinity programs, some good, others not so
much. Our goal is to provide a way for you to source our wines directly, at a
very attractive price.
We chose to base our program on the following principle:
Provide value at each opportunity. We considered the Nordstrom model of
customer service, the unwavering quality of BMW and the restrained elegance
that is Gleneagles where we spent our Valentine's week in 1997. Based on our
own life experiences, here is the A-List affinity program we offer.
It begins when Dena signs you up: There is no upfront fee
and you are free to go at anytime. Also, we can customize your experience in
the wines you choose to receive. For example, you may choose our full portfolio,
reds only, or just Pinot Noir. The choice is yours. As the founders and owners,
we enjoy the flexibility of customizing our program to match your interests.
Please note: The Reserve Pinot Noir is always an optional shipment.
When a wine is ready to be enjoyed, we release it to the
A-List first. Each wine's 2 bottle shipment is discounted 10% from the winery
retail price. We always have an event weekend when a wine is released so you
can try one "on the house" instead of opening yours. You can either pick up at
the winery, or we can ship when the weather is conducive.
If a wine is in your "acquire" or "outperform" category,
there is an opportunity for enhanced value. All A-List purchases receive a 10%
discount. However, orders of 12 bottles or more (including mix and match)
receive a 20% discount and free ground shipping within the continental United States.
This includes access to older vintages from our library. Disclosure: There are
never any 12b-1 fees.
Of course, we would like to see you and show you how your
wine is grown. All A-List members receive complimentary tastings throughout the
year including parties of up to 4 people. If the A-List sounds like your kind
of program, please let Dena know. She will contact you to discuss what wines
are right for your A-List experience.
Here is a quick review on how the A-List works:
Every time we release an A-List wine in your portfolio, you
will receive 2 bottles at 10% off the winery retail price. The wines are
released when we feel they are ready to be enjoyed, not necessarily on a set
schedule. If we could only get Mother Nature on board...
All follow-on orders for any Amalie Robert
Estate wines receive an A-List discount. No retail for you! Orders of less than
12 bottles receive a 10% discount. Orders of 12 bottles or more receive a 20%
discount and free ground shipping anywhere in the continental US.
We also offer free tastings for A-List members and up to 4
guests throughout the year. You may choose to make an appointment for your
party or join us for any of our scheduled open house weekends.
