The Animale Wine Collective

The 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 ridiculously low initial payment.

In 2001, ANIMALE funded startup costs by non-traditional means: a unique 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. In 2007, these original members re-enrolled in the Wine Collective, and several new members were admitted. In mid-2008, the Wine Collective will accept five more new members, who will enjoy these benefits:
  • One mixed case of ANIMALE, for each of the next five vintages, beginning now with the new 2006 vintage.
  • Invitation to a New Wine Collective Members Special Tasting at the ANIMALE facilities.
  • A Wine Collective Certificate of Membership featuring Animale The Winery Cat's pawprint of approval.

The one-time membership fee will be $1000, exclusive of applicable sales tax and/or shipping. The first vintage case will consist of two bottles of each of the six new 2006 vintage wines mentioned above, described on the Wines Now page. Future vintages will be at least as enticing - for the 2007 vintage, to be delivered next year, Petite Verdot, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and our first ever Chardonnay are now in the cellar. To join, please contact ANIMALE by phone or email. Enrollment will be granted in order of inquiry.
