Each year after, once your allocation is secured, we'll refill it with your box with coins, notecards and envelops, and sealing wax.
You have until December 1st to bestow your coins. Simply email us each recipient's contact details and we'll send a bottle of Virgil by RARECAT as a gift from you. Prefer to gift in person? Let us know and we'll send the wine directly to you instead. Donating to charity, we will help you with the logistics and donation forms.
Coins do not roll over, they must be used within the year. Thank you for helping us create 10,000 opportunities over the next seven years to do good by gifting or donating your allocated coins.
Experiences
We will host quarterly experiences mainly in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area to share the wine's progression (providing Virgil by RARECAT from the winery cellars) and provide opportunities to meet interesting people with a shared passion for fine wine and giving. These events will be small gatherings in collaboration with exciting chefs, creators, and producers. Circle members will receive an email invitation. RSVPs will be required because of the intimate nature of the events.
Seminars and Tastings
RARECAT will host four hands-on, engaging, and fun wine tastings and seminars mainly in Napa, designed for those new to fine wine. These tastings are complimentary and we encourage Circle member to invite guests such adult children or up and coming leaders in your sphere.

Exquisite wine
The Virgil Circle and Allocations are limited limited by the size of the vineyard and by our barrel selection. Releasing this wine isn't only about collecting, it's about the generosity that changes lives. This is an exquisite wine as an opportunity to change the conversation about wine to focus on what it can do versus what it is.
