OUR STORY
After an unexpected turn of events as beverage buyer for a grocery chain, Jim Meyers decided to turn his dream of owning a unique, bargain-oriented wine shop into a reality. In 1999, he opened Wine Thieves in Lafayette with long-time friend and late business partner, Bennett Burke. From 2004 to 2013, Rod Santos was also part of the gang, but has since hung his Wine Thieves hat and currently resides in the Napa Valley. Today, Jim and his band of Thieves are running the wine shop and Jim's dream has remained the same.
"At Wine Thieves, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional customer service and a unique, affordable selection of quality wines from around the world."
While mainly serving as a retail store, Wine Thieves also provides several other services such as:
-
Shipping
... And more!
Over the years, Wine Thieves has carved out a quaint, personable niche that customers crave; one that separates them from the detached atmosphere of larger grocery chains. Jim admits, "I love it when I am helping someone out to their car with wine and I see bags full of groceries from Safeway, Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. Yet, they made a conscious decision to come to Wine Thieves for their wine. It tells me we must be doing something right. That's what excites me, I get goose bumps just thinking about it".
In short, what Wine Thieves is about is providing you with, not just great wines at a great price, but an unparalleled experience that isn't often found in retail stores today.
"Stop by Wine Thieves today and experience it for yourself!"

The Pickpocket Gang
Our most-affordable monthly habit: just $22.99
(One white, one red, each average $11/bottle)
The Bandit Gang
Two whites or two reds: only $28.99
(Two reds OR two whites, your choice)
The Thieves Gang
Our more premium selections: only $34.99
(One white, one red, each average $17/bottle)
The Embezzlers Gang
Our super-premium tier (and still a great value!): only $69.99
(Mostly two red wines, but we've been known to sneak in a remarkable white on occasion)
Other Perks!
On top of receiving two bottles of wine each month at the value you are paying for, we also provide these extra perks as well:
-
If you live nearby, you can pick up your wines to avoid any shipping costs! Otherwise, we do ship to many states, just ask.
-
We provide information cards that you can print out to learn more about your monthly wine club selection. Check out this month's version here.
-
Did you forget to pick up your wine club? No worries! We hold up to three months-worth of your wine club selections. But if you have been really bad, don't worry, we will provide a comparable alternative for you so you always get your money's worth. And if you don't drink your wine selection right away, you can look up the last 12 months' worth in our Wine Club Archives.
-
Wine club customers are eligible for a discount on our already rock-bottom prices. Any in-store purchase of 6 or more bottles qualifies you for a 10% pre-tax discount (Note: discounts do not apply to special orders of wines we do not usually have in stock).
-
NO HIDDEN FEES: we debit your credit card each month for the amount shown above, plus tax and any applicable shipping charge. We ask for a minimum commitment of three months; after which you can cancel at any time.... but why would you want to?
