I know, I know. You think about The Wall Street Journal and you think “boring, boring, boring”. Your mind tries to escape the horrible vision of CPA’s, economists and stock brokers glued to their desks, poring over price earnings ratios, Nasdaq and Forex rates. You know that the front page of the WSJ has at least one article about the bailout funds and you feel like screaming, “Where’s MY bailout?!!?”
Guess what? Not everything about the WSJ is bad news or boring. Last year, The Wall Street Journal showed its wild side when it introduced WSJwine.com. Their Discovery Club is another top pick for the
Best Wine Club this year. Like many other clubs, you can select all white wines or a mixed case, but the real Q.P.R (that’s wine geek speak for Quality-P)rice Ratio is when you order their world-class red wines.
The WSJ takes itself pretty seriously, so it makes sense that they are not going to risk that reputation by handing out mediocre wines to it’s wine club members. Along with some hand-crafted reds from small family-owned wineries, The Discovery Club includes some names that may be familiar to you, like De Loach and William Knuttel. The WSJ bean counters must be having a stroke when they realize that the introductory promotion also includes a FREE lever-action corkscrew in a wooden presentation case with foil cutter, pourer, stopper and drip stop (worth $49.99) Very classy. Even the tasting notes are upper-crust and come with a cool storage binder.
You wanna know the cost, right? $69.99 for 12 bottles for the introductory offer and all the goodies that come with it. For those who don’t have a calculator imbedded in their brain, that’s less than $6 per bottle. Even when you tack on the $19.99 shipping and handling, that’s a deal that will even make a banker smile.
This might be the only time that insider information is legal and moral. And a whole lot more fun than thinking about what Martha Stewart did in jail. Join WSJwine Club Now & Save $120 On a Case of Hand Selected Wines. It’s easier than placing a trade at Charles Schwab. And I guarantee, you’ll get a better return.
