Every wine enthusiast always remembers the first time they savored an exquisite glass of wine. There's no better feeling than spending an afternoon rambling about the vineyards and listening to the histories and traditions of the finest bottles you've ever had.

As much as you'd like to go to Napa every weekend and visit the yearly Beaujolais festival in France, it can be hard to find the time.

Wine Access opens the doors to some of the best wineries and regions in the world by offering you an exclusive spot in their coveted society. Instead of providing a generic selection, they give you access to the rarest and most esteemed wines from the most prized vineyards that every cellar needs.

To become a member and get their special offers, all you have to do is sign up for their newsletter that will keep you updated on new arrivals. A team of wine storytellers and sommeliers craft detailed narratives about the wine-making process, from grape to bottle, as well as the notes your palate will experience.

It's more than just a wine retailer, so we compiled the most-asked questions to answer for you. Here's everything you need to know about Wine Access.

How do they pick the wines?

Wines are chosen by an elite organization of experts that includes a master of wine candidates, storytellers, and a master sommelier. Each year, the Napa-based team tastes over 20,000 of the world's most prestigious bottles - only 1 in 18 qualifies to be featured on the site. The vintages are from around the world and from every grape imaginable, so you'll find that Left Bank Bordeaux you adore, or the latest varietal from a region that's new to you.

Is there a minimum amount of wine I need to buy?

No. There's no monthly fee, so no matter how much or how little you imbibe, you won't throw away money on a membership, or extra wine you didn't need. All bottles are sold at a price negotiated to be lower than retailers and range from $15 to the upper echelons of rare wines in the thousands. Regardless of what you choose, it will be unique, delicious, and not something you'd easily come across in a wine shop. Plus, shipping is included if you buy 6 bottles or spend $125.

How will I know if I'll enjoy the wine?

Wine Access provides in-depth tasting descriptions, unlike any other. With clear visuals that measure assets such as body, sweetness, and oak intensity, you'll have a stronger idea of what will please your palate than you'll ever get from the liquor shop. Once you subscribe to their emails, you'll learn even more about wines. If a bottle falls short of your standards, Wine Access will refund you a credit for the amount.

What is the delivery process?

With climate-controlled packaging, Wine Access assures that every delivery arrives in perfect condition.

By keeping up with their emails, you won't miss out on the limited wines that sell out in a matter of hours. If you prefer California Chardonnays or enjoy sampling every fermented grape under the sun, Wine Access will make your wine-selecting process smoother than Syrah.
