Everyone seems to be joining Wine Clubs these days. Ours is a bit different – we ONLY represent wineries that make their wine at the renowned Napa Wine Company. These small producers are intimately involved with our Tasting Room. Please remember that we only choose twenty five or so wineries at any given time to be involved with our Wine Club. We do not look for close outs or discontinued brands for our customers, we do not "Shop" for deals nor present wines as "Finds".

Our Wine Clubs offer members new releases of some of Napa Valley's most coveted wines. Many are allocated while nearly all are restricted. Restricted means that these small wineries sell what they make without corporate mass marketing and "Deals".

Below are the Five Cult Wine Central memberships you may choose from:

Featured Restaurant: Angéle

Inspired by years of success in the hospitality industry and years of great joy in the Napa Valley, our family (patriarch Claude Rouas and daughters Bettina and Claudia Rouas) is combining talents and experience to open Angèle, a fine dining restaurant in the up-and-coming City of Napa.

Angèle is the name of Claude Rouas’s mother and has been an important name and figure in their family. While living in Paris Bettina was inspired by a little restaurant below her apartment named Angèle. Angèle was everything a restaurant should be. Every day she would walk by and dream that one day she would open a restaurant and name it Angèle.

In the Rouas family, a restaurant is where one goes to escape from the day-to-day routine. It’s a refuge that offers delicious foods and wines, entertainment and occasion to celebrate with friends and family. Angèle is a warm and unique dining experience that embraces patrons the moment they enter. Whether seated at a table in the dining room or outside on the terrace overlooking the Napa River, diners enjoy lunch and dinner surrounded by a simple, familial setting. Ideally located in the historic Downtown District along the Napa River, Angèle is inviting and intimate with a lively atmosphere.

Angèle features a menu, layering elements from traditional recipes with contemporary influences. Its focus on rich and soothing French cuisine ranges from the classic simplicity of vegetable potage to the robust balance of veal stew.

Wine and food pairing should be a fun, pleasurable experience. The professional wait staff and our approachable wine list make this true at Angèle. The wine list highlights the flavors in the menu, as well as producers from the Napa Valley and around the world. The selections vary from affordable gems to highly sought after boutique wines. A variety of half bottles and an array of wines by the glass round out the wine list.

The Rouas family is excited to establish Angèle, a restaurant in downtown Napa that represents the European sensibility of food and wine – the true essence of joie de vivre.
