SpringHouse's Wine Club:
Membership has its privileges

The Well House Wine Club is a great opportunity for oenophiles
If you're wondering, that means wine lovers. And if you are one, we've got some good news for you. This spring we are proud to introduce the Well House Wine Club, a program designed to enhance the experience of wine enthusiasts at the lake and further our mission of creating community through food and drink.

When we first opened SpringHouse, we created programs that focused on food, including cooking classes, a Slow Foods chapter, and guest chef dinners. Now, we’re adding a program for wine lovers that will include wine tastings, wine dinners, guest vintner wine tastings, guest vintner wine dinners, and food and wine pairing classes. Along with these programs, we will have special monthly food and wine events beginning in October 2010 and continuing through April 2011. These will include barn dances, BBQ for wine lovers, Beaujolais dinners, wild game dinners, and Slow Foods dinners, just to name a few.

Throughout the year, your Well House Wine Club membership will provide you with first access to these special monthly food and wine events, as well as give you a 10 percent discount to these events. The Well House Wine Club membership also includes a 10 percent discount on all wine purchases at SpringHouse, including the Reserve Wine List. This discount alone will cover your monthly cost of membership! All Well House Wine Club members will also receive an automatic upgrade to Riedel wine glasses whenever you dine at SpringHouse, and all corkage fees will be waived for both the dining room and the Well House.

The Well House Wine Club membership is $40.00 per month, $200.00 for six months or $300.00 for one year. These plans offer maximum flexibility, so that you can choose a program that best fits your schedule at the lake. For questions, or to sign up for a Well House Wine Club membership, contact Michelle West at SpringHouse at 256.215.7080, or email her at mwest@russelllands.com.

We hope that you take a moment to review the wine club Calendar of Events below and sign up for this wonderful opportunity. We are all very excited about this new program and hope to see you at the lake to share a glass of wine, some great food and nourishment for the mind and soul.
