WHAT IS THE WINE CENTURY CLUB?

The Wine Century Club was founded by Deborah and Steve De Long in 2005 in New York, NY, to promote “the many unsung grape varieties used to make wine.”   The club’s inaugural meeting was held in Manhattan on March 16 at Lo Scalco restaurant, and included a five-course dinner.  Dishes were paired with wines such as Ocone Falanghina del Taburno 2003 and a Nusserhof Südtiroler Lagrein Riserva 2000.  Since this first meeting and a starting membership of 32, the club has grown to an official membership of 590 and boasts local chapters from coast-to-coast.

The Wine Century Club is for all adventurous wine lovers.  The club is for all those who enjoy wines and seek to explore wines made from lesser known varietals. If you’ve already tried at least 100 grape varieties, you’re qualified to join the Wine Century Club.  Simply download an application form here in either Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Excel format and return it to us via email.
