Cellar Club – Stocking Your Home Wine Cellar

By Manny Ortiz

The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch is proud to continually create unique products, services and programs designed to provide a world-class lifestyle for our residents. Simply stated, “Life is better out here.”

Several years ago The Cellar Club was created to provide our members with the best possible wine-buying experience. Whether you are a wine aficionado, a novice wanting to explore and learn more about wine, or simply, like most of us, someone who just loves to drink wine, we offer exclusive benefits to our members.

Some of the benefits that our Cellar Club members enjoy are:

• $2.00 off of our many wines by the glass

• 20% off of wines purchased when dining at

The Club

• 20% off of Wine Dinners

• Advantage pricing in wines purchased through our retail operation

Each week we conduct wine tastings in conjunction with our Wednesday Night Gold Rush. Members have an opportunity to sample new wines from selected vineyards, and purchase wines for consumption that evening. Additionally, they can order these wines for pickup from our retail shop. The Club also hosts Winemaker Dinners where delicious wine and food pairings are enjoyed with fellow friends and members, along with “best buys” samplings/tastings. We are constantly searching for great values offered through our wine vendors. Our goal is to sell wine to our members at equal to or better pricing found at the local supermarkets, big box stores and wine shops. We are constantly evaluating our pricing against their published internet pricing and we also make an effort to shop our competition. When we find the best deals, we like to share the pricing through email blasts.

Challenges. Opportunities. Moving Forward.

Fall has been a busy season for the Agronomy team. This important season kicks off after all the fun of the Ladies’ Ranch Roundup, when we begin our greens aerification process. At the conclusion of this process in October, we have now seen the extraordinary benefit of the deep vertical slicing (Graden device) coupled with the normal aerification of punching holes and backfilling with sand.

Bees and Golf Courses

A long-standing interest of mine has been the benefits of using honey and bee keeping. I have enjoyed honey since I was a child and there are many benefits of having honey in your diet. Honey contains a variety of nutrients, it’s rich in antioxidants and is better for blood sugar levels than regular sugar. Research has shown it to promote heart health, promote burn and wound healing, and help suppress coughing with children.

Amanda Naranjo

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been around the game of golf. From watching golf tournaments on TV with my family to going out to the driving range with my dad during my High School years while on the Golf Team, everything I associate with golf has been positive. I decided to attend the University of the Incarnate Word and major in Fashion Merchandising with a concentration in Business. Fusing both my passion for fashion and love for the game of golf, the golf merchandising path was the perfect path for me.
