Whether Schmoozing or Just Boozing, There’s a Wine Club for That

Last year, investment banker Carlos Garcia found himself in the steep, rugged Les Manyes vineyard of Spain’s Priorat region, strumming a guitar. The impromptu performance at the Terroir al Limit winery came after a picnic of jamon iberico, olives, local cheeses and rich, red wines, and it was for a small, select group of fellow wine lovers.

They were all part of Vines Global, a private, members-only wine club, and they had spent the morning blending their own lush cuvées under the tutelage of the estate’s celebrated winemaker, Dominik Huber.
