Our Story

In 1973, when Elliott Mackey formed The Wine Appreciation Guild, there were only a handful of premium California wineries. Many big-name wineries of today were in the planning stages or early stages of establishment. Prior to 1973, the California Wine Advisory Board, operating under the State Department of Agriculture, was the primary provider of wine items and literature to aid in the enjoyment of wine. However, a decree by the Governor of California in 1973 dissolved the Wine Advisory Board.

The Wine Appreciation Guild was formed as the official successor in the distribution of wine accessories, and the publication and distribution of books and educational materials. This carries on a tradition of service that started in 1939.

Testimonials

Delightful shop, featuring a great library of wine books, and all manner of racking and accessories. I came across them, looking for something efficient, modular, and seismically-sensible for my cellar - love their Eurocrates.

Worked with Jim who was able to design my cellar just after receiving some dimensions from me on the room. It is a great racking system and I can fit a lot of wine in a small room. All the racks are redwood, look great, and fit perfectly in the room. He also referred me to a contractor that installed all the racks for me as well. Turnkey and I never needed to step in the store. Great product. Not cheap all in like some other wine rack mail order companies, but I much better quality.
