The NYC Wine Report Launches the New York City Wine Club and Leverages Social Media to Promote Member Interaction Online

August 28, 2009 New York – The NYC Wine Report, a trusted voice in the international wine community for unbiased wine reviews and a local source for what wines to buy, how much to pay, and where to get them in NYC, announces the launch of the New York City Wine Club in partnership with Yorkshire Wines and Spirits.

Each month members of the New York City Wine Club will receive two of the six wines recommended by the www.NYCWineReport.com. In addition to saving up to 25% off the retail price, the wines are hand selected by a professional Sommelier based on quality at a reasonable price around $20 retail. Membership is open to wine lovers in over 30 states and delivery is free to members in New York City.

There are three wine packages available online at www.NewYorkCityWineClub.com to suit different tastes. When signing up members choose to receive all red wines, all white or a blend based on season. According to Greg Loeffelholz, Managing Partner of Metropolitan Vintners, LLC, "Whether you are a wine aficionado, lifelong oenophile or a novice trying to expand your wine palette, joining the NYC Wine Club is a great way to taste new wines, share your opinions and learn from others."

In order to allow its members to share their opinions, the New York City Wine Club is also engaging social media sources like Facebook and Twitter. After tasting their wines each month NYC Wine Club members can exchange comments and find out what others are saying on Facebook.com/NYCWine and Twitter.com/NYCWineReport. The NYC Wine Club Facebook page already boasts over 500 members and is currently adding more than 10 new members every day.

Yorkshire Wines and Spirits has been serving the Upper East Side of Manhattan for over 25 years, but had not launched its own wine club during that time. "We are very excited about launching the New York City Wine Club with Metropolitan Vintners and www.NYCWine.com", said Sam Choi, President of Yorkshire Wines & Spirits. "I think this will be a great program for our current clientele and will allow Yorkshire Wines a unique opportunity to reach new customers in other parts of Manhattan and across the United States."
