The staff are great (like really great). Venue is beautiful. But the wine is highly variable. We were members for several years before cancelling.
We've had 4 or 5 wines from Copain, over several shipments, stored along with 100+ other wines in our wine fridge (58 degree) tha that has been terrible on opening. We've tried everything to figure out what happened -- contacted the vineyard about replacing them, asking about if we're storing them wrong, but other wines we got in shipments from other vineyards around the same time, held in the wine fridge for the same time - are all GOOD. None are corked or have any problems. Except the Copain. I'd say less than half the bottles shipped to us were good. They end up super acidic with little fruit, and *tough* to drink. Unlike the Copains when they are good (which are great when they're not bad). We've canceled our membership unfortunately. When they are good they're really good, but when they're bad, they are awful.
