Are you a member of a wine club?

how do you manage the tasting notes of wines you've tasted in your club? how do you manage the membership? how do you select wines to taste as a group?

No, but I'd like to be. I've never put a whole lot of thought into it.

Yes! I belong to the Gold Medal wine club. It had been about 4 months now and I am fairly impressed with the wines. All have pretty much come from California (specifically the Central Coast but I have gotten stuff from Sonoma). Gold Medal has several different price and quality levels to choose from. I get the basic package with an add on that gives me an extra bottle every couple months. Check out their website at www.goldmedalwine.com. I used to belong to the California Wine club, I wasn't too impressed with them so I canceled.

Ok for your other questions. As far as tasting notes, I have "Tasting Journal" that I keep with me pretty much all the time. I always take notes when I open one of my new wines from the club and write them in the journal. I also use the journal when I go to tasting events, wine bars, or at wineries. I find I get funny looks when I am at a restaurant but I like taking notes so I just ignore people. Lets see as far as managing my membership, they just bill me every month on my credit card. It is just about the same each much so... Lastly, I don't really taste my wine club wines in a group setting, sometimes I will bring one to dinner at friends or something but I don't make a special point to taste them in a group. Sometimes if I get something I think I wont like (for example I am not a big California Chardonnay fan) I will give it to someone that is.
