The Dog Lovers Wine Club is one -- no, make it two, great ideas.
Carivintas Winery, a boutique winery in California with the slogan "Love My Dog, Love My Wine," blends its love of wine with its love of philanthropy. With every club membership - monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly - you get a premium crafted bottle of wine at your doorstep bearing the inspirational story of a real dog. Proceeds from the memberships help homeless animals in need. Win-win-win.
This month's wine - a 2004 Santa Barabara County Syrah - is named for Wheeler. The club rates the wines with an informal "Wine Hounds" rating. Wheeler gets 4.95 out of 5 bones. (Sounds pretty good.) You can even get your dog on a label.
Alas, none of this is to be for residents of Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland or New Jersey, or 26 other states. You have to live in a state in which it's legal to receive wine shipments. Know someone in New York or Ohio or Wisconsin who could accept orders for you?
You can check out the club's Web site for things you can receive at home, including very cool watercolor prints of dogs.
