When kicking back with a drink after a hard week’s work, you might have the urge to splurge on an expensive bottle because you deserve it.
But a refined palette doesn’t have to come with a huge bill if you’re a Just Wine Club (JWC) member. Besides finding exquisite wines at up to 40% off, JWC members can get an additional 8% off on top of these promotional prices.
The Chateau Mauvesin Barton 2015, for example, boasts an intense ruby colour with fruity notes and subtle touches of vanilla. At only $39, this drink will no doubt enrich your evening after a draining day.
