The Animale Wine Collective

The Animale Wine Collective: a unique wine industry futures program. Ensure your own future supply of Animale wine by becoming a member. The ANIMALE Wine Collective is a long-term purchase program - five vintages of wine, one case per year for the next five years, for a modest one-time payment.

In 2001, ANIMALE funded startup costs by non-traditional means: a unusual wine futures program. Twelve adventurous wine-lovers (or groups thereof), making a remarkable statement of confidence in ANIMALE's prospects, each paid, in advance, at once, for the first five consecutive vintages of ANIMALE wine.

New Wine Collective members will enjoy these benefits:

  • One mixed case of ANIMALE, for each of the next five vintages, beginning with the new 2010 vintage.
  • Invitations to Wine Collective Members special tasting events at the ANIMALE Ballard facilities.
  • A Wine Collective Certificate of Membership featuring Animale The Winery Cat's pawprint of approval.

The one-time membership fee is $1000, exclusive of applicable sales tax and/or shipping. The first vintage case will consist of twelve bottles of the just-released 2010 vintage wines, described on the Wines Now page, and will include at six wines: Cabernet Franc, Dolcetto, Zinfandel, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and the "Maria Carmela" blend. Future vintages will be at least as enticing - for the 2011 vintage, to be delivered in late 2013, there will be Carmenere, Tempranillo, as well as more Petite Sirah, Dolcetto, and Cabernet Franc. The 2012, now fermenting, will include the return of both Yakima Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, and Oregon Pinot Noir. To join, please contact ANIMALE by phone or email. Enrollment will be granted in order of inquiry.
