24 × 100 mL / 3.4 fl oz wine tasting bottles. Two Lehmann tasting glasses and a 64-page tasting journal. Each wine comes with a short guided video, plus a complete tasting course to train your palate.
Are these full size bottles?
No. Each of the 24 wine bottles contains 100 mL / 3.4 fl oz, enough for two small tasting pours. The calendar is designed to explore a selection without buying 24 full size bottles.
Is this suitable for a beginner?
Yes. You do not need to be an expert to enjoy discovering new flavors. Each wine comes with a short guided video, plus a complete tasting course to train your palate. For an enthusiast, the appeal is exploring a selection beyond their usual favorites.
When will my calendar arrive?
Delivered by November 24, before Thanksgiving. Ships from the US. Shipping and sales tax calculated at checkout.
Can you ship to my state?
Check availability for your state with our team before ordering. An adult aged 21 or older must sign for the delivery.
Can I send it as a gift?
Sending a gift? Enter the recipient’s address at checkout. Someone 21+ must be there to sign.
How should I store my calendar?
Keep it away from light and heat, upright or lying down. Each vial is filled without contact with air and sealed with a screw cap, so the wines keep for years. No need to finish by Christmas.
How is the selection made?
Every bottle is chosen by a panel of experts, including a Best Sommelier of France and a Meilleur Ouvrier de France. To make the cut, it must earn their approval, come from an estate with a real story and a strong environmental commitment, and fit the theme of the calendar.
Will a connoisseur enjoy it?
Yes. The selection is built to surprise people who already know what they like, with bottles they are unlikely to have tasted. Beginners learn as they go.
Why a screw cap and not a cork?
Each vial is sealed with an aluminum screw cap. It protects better than cork: no cork taint, a consistent seal, and you can store the vial in any position.
What if something arrives damaged?
Contact our team with your order number and photos so we can help.
