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 ridiculously low one-time payment.

In 2001, ANIMALE funded startup costs by non-traditional means: a unique 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. In June 2010, the Wine Collective will re-open for five new members, who will enjoy these benefits:
  • One mixed case of ANIMALE, for each of the next five vintages, beginning with the 2008 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 new 2008 vintage wines, described on the Wines Now page. The twelve-bottle assortment is divided proportionally to production amounts of all wines produced. Future vintages will be at least as enticing - for the 2008 vintage, to be delivered mid-2010, there will be Petite Sirah, Syrah, Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and our first Cabernet Franc since the 2002 vintage. To join, please contact ANIMALE by phone or email. Enrollment will be granted in order of inquiry.
