How many times have you gone to a region-focused wine tasting event and are introduced to at least one underdog varietal that some artisan winemaker is producing garagiste-style (ie; on a super tiny production level and/or in his or her own garage), and you think how incredible it would be to get your hands on more of this varietal? Don't get me wrong, I love my Chardonnays, Cabernets, Zinfandels, and Pinots, but that's just the tip of the wineberg, right? There's a whole, mind-blowing world of …

The Wine Country Designated Driver's Club is a social networking meetup group geared towards wine enthusiasts visiting wine country in a responsible manner.
