Need a wine club recommendation

I am currently a member of the Sunset Monthly wine club (I get one red and one white).  I really enjoy this club because a) the wines are all from the West (i.e. Washington, Oregon, California, etc) b) Sunset does a good job of finding premium wines from known winemakers as well as new or up and coming winemakers c) each month they send a recipes that they developed in their test kitchens to pair with the wines (usually fun and easy to make...and quite delicious!) and d) the monthly price is very reasonalbe (around $45/month).  However, now having a good selection of wines from the West...I would like to go international. 
 
Does anyone recommend an international wine club...or Italian Wine Club?  I am hoping to maintain my membership to Sunset, so I don't want to find a club that is sending me selections from Chateau Margaux every month :)...I would like to find a good club for a reasonable price.  Thanks for the help!

Try Fruit Forward wine club - www.fruitforward.com. It’s pretty straightforward with a delivery each month of two bottles from around the world, usually one red and one white. With two price options of $19.95 and $29.95 each, it’s a very affordable club providing the chance to try new regions and varietals from small international producers. Featured locations include Spain, South Africa, France, Italy, Portugal, and Chile, as well as California, Washington, and Oregon. If you find a wine you like Fruit Forward also offers an online store where you can purchase additional bottles at half and full case quantities.

What's all the CHATr about?

How do the Wine Scores equate to each other?

Different people like to rate wines in different ways, and we aim to please. So we give you 2 options.

You can rate wine on a scale of 0-5 Glasses, or for finer detail, you can rate wine on a 100 point scale.

We do the conversion for you so all Wine Ratings display both values. The table below shows you the conversion:

= 50 points or less.
= 51 - 57 points.
= 58 - 62 points.
= 63 - 67 points.
= 68 - 72 points.
= 73 - 77 points.
= 78 - 82 points.
= 83 - 87 points.
= 88 - 92 points.
= 93 - 96 points.
= 97 - 100 points
