Hello,
I was thinking about joining a wine of the month club but was unsure of which one to join. I am looking to spend between $30-40 a month and like both California and World wines. Any sugguestions?

IMHO – wine clubs are fine, but if you really want to explore wines, you should have a local shop in your area. If the pro’s are knowledgeable and this isn’t simply a “liquor store”, then I’d stick with that. This way, you can attend tastings, events there and sometimes, good wine shops have the Wine Maker come and show off their best wines.
Also, if you’re truly interested in wine and this is not simply a passing phase in your life, I’d recommend a book or two. “The Wine Bible” by Karen McNeil is by far the best. It’s huge and thicker than War & Peace, but it’s not necessary to read it cover to cover. You can pick it up anywhere and learn at your own pace.
There’s also a fun online wine course that’s free: feel free to check that out too.
You’ll also save money in the long run as there’s a ton of mark up in a bottle of wine shipped to you.
