The Animale Wine CollectiveThe Animale Wine Collective: a unique wine industry futures program. Ensure your own future supply of Animale wine by becoming a member. The ANIMALE Wine Collective is a long-term purchase program - five vintages of wine, one case per year for the next five years, for a modest one-time payment. In 2001, ANIMALE funded startup costs by non-traditional means: a unusual wine futures program. Twelve adventurous wine-lovers (or groups thereof), making a remarkable statement of confidence in ANIMALE's prospects, each paid, in advance, at once, for the first five consecutive vintages of ANIMALE wine.New Wine Collective members will enjoy these benefits:
The one-time membership fee is $1000, exclusive of applicable sales tax and/or shipping. The first vintage case will consist of twelve bottles of the new 2009 vintage wines, described on the Wines Now page, and will include two bottles of each of six wines - ANIMALE's first-ever Mourvedre (from Red Mountain), and ANIMALE's first foray into the northern Italian varieties Dolcetto and Barbera; along with the return of Yakima Valley Petite Sirah, Wahluke Slope Petit Verdot, and for the first time since 2006, Yakima Valley Zinfandel. Future vintages will be at least as enticing - for the 2010 and 2011 vintages, to be delivered in 2012 and '13, there will be Carmenere, Tempranillo, as well as more Petite Sirah, Dolcetto, Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc and Syrah. To join, please contact ANIMALE by phone or email. Enrollment will be granted in order of inquiry. Welcome to the ANIMALE Wine Collective! |
