Breaking up is hard to do. My wine refrigerators at home are full. I've rented space in a temperature controlled wine storage facility. Still, I have joined far too many wine clubs. Initially I cancelled a few that were not too painful, but eventually there were some painful choices. One of those was Linne Calodo from Paso Robles. Really nice wines, interesting blends, but wines that need some time to age. Sadly, I cancelled my membership, but I would highly recommend visiting, trying, and buying their wines. As a consolation, I decided to taste their Zinfandel based blend - Outsider.
