Hello Friends,

First order of business: we will be CLOSED this Saturday.

If you’ve been by the winery lately, you already know we are in full harvest swing, and the winery smells amazing. This year, we’ve even put the kids to work! We are very lucky to have them both home-ish right now, and more importantly, available for a little family-business labor during harvest. 😊

Now, about last week’s TGIF special...

I’m usually pretty lenient if you miss a TGIF opportunity. I mean, I’ve never actually said no! But I’ve had several requests for the 2021 Lafond Syrah this week, so we’re giving it an encore.

This wine isn’t scheduled for its official Wine Club release until 2027, so if you’d like to stash a few bottles away or have some included in your October Wine Club shipment, just let me know.

Hello Friends,

Well, this is fun! One of our wholesale accounts in Los Angeles, the California Surf Club, just moved into our 2021 Lafond Syrah. That meant Joey had to go digging through the cellar this morning to unbury it, so of course we want to share it with you as well.

This wine isn’t scheduled for its official Wine Club release until 2027, so consider this a very early sneak peek.

This is the last week we’ll have the 2021 Adobe Canyon Tempranillo available. Don’t worry, there will be a 2022 vintage too, but if you’d like to grab a few bottles of the 2021 before it’s gone, now is the time!

So naturally, this week’s TGIF wine is the 2021 Adobe Canyon Tempranillo. 🍷

Hello Friends,

Harvest is officially underway! 🍇

On Saturday, we brought in our first Pinot Noir of the season. It was the first time we have ever harvested Pinot Noir in August and the first time we have harvested anygrapes in August since 2015. CRAZY!!

One of the best things about being back at the winery during harvest is walking through the door and smelling those delicious fermenting grapes. There really is nothing quite like it. 

This week’s TGIF wine is the 2022 Portico Hills Grenache.

If you’d like me to stash a few bottles or a case for you, just let me know. We ship on Mondays.

Hello Friends,

We have an out-of-town wine club member visiting the winery on Wednesday, and they requested the 2021 Providence for this week’s TGIF wine.

As you wish!! 🍷

Providence is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Sangiovese. It has always been a fan favorite, so I’m sure many of you will be happy with this week’s offering too!

Things are going great with the new tasting room at the winery. The feedback has been so positive, particularly about the acoustics. Our old tasting room sure was loud, wasn’t it? 😂

If you haven’t had a chance to stop by yet, this weekend would be a perfect time.

And welcome back to school to all of our educator friends! We hope you have a wonderful start to the new school year.

Hello Friends,

We're down to the last few cases of our 2021 Tempranillo from Adobe Canyon Vineyard in the Los Olivos District. If you've been meaning to grab a few bottles, now's the time!

A Quick Parking Note

Many of you have asked why we ask everyone to park on Chestnut instead of inside the gates.

The simplest answer is safety. Keeping the large vehicle gates on F and G Streets closed after business hours is the best way for us to protect the property. We also want to make sure our employees have the safest possible way to close up for the evening. That's why we installed the walk-through gate on Chestnut.

Even if the drive-through gates happen to be open when you arrive, we'd truly appreciate it if you would park on Chestnut and enter through the walk-through gate. It allows Tina to close up safely at the end of the night without having to manage the large gates after dark.

Thank you so much for helping us keep both our team and the winery safe. We truly appreciate it!

Cheers,

Sara, Tina & Joey 🍷

Hello Friends,

Joey and I had dinner at Dave's Place last night and, for the first time in a long time, we ordered one of our own wines. Normally, we would choose someone else's wine because...well...it feels a little funny ordering your own! 😂

But our 2022 Happy Canyon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon sounded absolutely perfect with Dave's BBQ, and we both agreed it deserved to be this week's TGIF Special. It's rich, smooth, and just made for summer evenings, backyard BBQs, and good friends.

Hello Friends,

Being back at the winery has been such a joy. It was difficult for Joey to be in two places at once while we were operating both locations, so he's especially enjoyed reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting so many of our newer members.

Please note: We will be closing a little early this Saturday at 4:00 pm.

This Week's TGIF Special

2021 Providence

Providence is one of our favorite blends, bringing together Syrah, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Inspired by the classic Super Tuscan style, it offers beautiful balance with rich fruit, savory spice, and a long, smooth finish.

Parking Update
Our new Chestnut Street gate is now open! Please park on Chestnut between F Street and G Street and enter through the gate. Even if the F or G Street gates are open when you arrive, please use Chestnut parking, as those gates will likely be closed by the time you leave.

❄️ Dress warm! The winery stays cool year-round, and temperatures below 60 degrees have a way of chilling you to the bone.

🐾 A friendly reminder: We love dogs, but pets are not permitted inside the winery. Trained service dogs are always welcome and must remain under their handler's control and by their side at all times. Thank you for helping us create a comfortable experience for everyone.

The first week back at the winery was an absolute success, and we are so excited for week two! It was wonderful seeing so many of you browse our library collection, revisit favorite vintages, and discover bottles that hold special memories. If you haven't explored the library yet, we invite you to come uncover a few treasures of your own.

2022 Portico Hills Grenache

A few other exciting changes...

We've opened up our Library Collection! Feel free to browse and purchase any library wine for $60 per bottle. These wines have been aged to perfection and date back to 2006.

We've also introduced a new system to track sales and tastings. Going forward, tastings will be $4 per pour, allowing you to mix and match, revisit your favorites, or enjoy just a little more of a wine you love. As much as this pains us (because generosity is kind of our thing!), we're also passionate about keeping Transcendence thriving for years to come.

We can't wait to welcome you into the new space!

As many of you know, entrepreneurship is a journey of constant learning, adapting, and growing. After much thought, we have decided to bring our tasting room operations back home to the winery on G Street. 🍷

While this is a bittersweet change, we truly believe that embracing change is what allows us to grow, evolve, and build something sustainable for the future.  🌱

And truthfully, we are excited.

We cannot wait to welcome our Transcendence family back to the winery, getting back to our roots and filling that space once again with laughter, conversation, and good cheer. 🥂✨ The winery has always been the heart of Transcendence, and we look forward to creating many new memories there with all of you. ❤️

Hello Friends,

This week’s TGIF is a little different and very close to our hearts.

We are dedicating today’s TGIF in memory of our dear friend Don, who recently passed. Don, along with his wife Madeline, owns Adobe Canyon Vineyard in the Los Olivos AVA. Don was a passionate vineyard owner with a generous heart, a deep love for wine, and an unwavering commitment to both his vineyard and the people around him. We loved working with him over the years, and he will be deeply missed.

In honor of Don and the beautiful fruit from Adobe Canyon Vineyard, today’s TGIF Special features three 2021 wines from this special place. These wines each tell a different story, but together they reflect the character, warmth, and spirit that Don brought to everything he did.

Spring 2026

Hello Friends,

There is a moment each season when the wine stops being a project

and stands on its own, accomplished. For us, that moment lands

right about now. The bottling is done. The cellar has gone quiet in

the best way. We are topping barrels, pulling inventory, renewing

fruit contracts, and doing the slower, steadier work of caretaking

what is still aging. It is the part of the year where you can finally

exhale.

It feels a little like the last day of school. Everything you worked

toward is either in the bottle or nearly there. Summer stretches out

ahead. Harvest is coming, but not yet. For a few weeks, there is just

this. This release belongs to that moment.

The 2023 Theresa Noelle Pinot Noir comes from the top of Sweeney

Canyon in the Sta. Rita Hills, where wind, elevation, and marine

influence do most of the work for us. This vintage leans especially

into balance. There is depth here, but nothing heavy. It holds its

shape beautifully.

Alongside it, the 2022 Portico Hills Grenache from Los Alamos brings

something entirely different. A warmer site with broader shoulders

and a little more generosity. Where the Pinot is precise, the Grenache

is open and inviting.

And then there is the 2025 Rosé from Vogelzang Vineyard, a different

spirit entirely. This is the wine for late afternoons that quietly

become evenings. You pour a glass at 4:30 and suddenly it is 8:00 and

the light is starting to fade. Bright, fresh, and easy in the best

possible way.

We do not ship again until October, so these wines have the whole

summer ahead of them. Take them to the graduation party. Open one

on vacation. Pour them for friends on a Tuesday night with no

particular reason. The warm months have a way of filling up with

moments worth marking, and that is exactly what these are for.

Enjoy your summer. We will see you in the fall.

Sara, Joey, Tina, Caitlin, and Heather

Hello Friends,

I have a treat for you this week. The 2023 Theresa Noelle Pinot Noir is outstanding, and I am genuinely excited to share it with you. This new release is part of your Spring Wine Club and is also featured as this week’s TGIF.

Theresa Noelle Vineyard sits at the top of Sweeney Canyon in the Sta. Rita Hills, almost directly south of our tasting room. It is a special site, and this vintage really shows it. Expressive, balanced, and one of those bottles that disappears a little too quickly.

This week’s TGIF Special is one I always recommend buying two of — one to enjoy now, and one to cellar.

2022 Happy Canyon Cabernet Sauvignon

Also… a little preview of what’s coming 👀

Many of you have been patiently waiting for the Rosé, and I’m happy to say the 2025 Rosé is almost here and will be included in the next wine club release. Alongside it, we’re releasing two wines I’m especially excited about:

• 2023 Theresa Noelle Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

• 2022 Portico Hills Grenache (Alisos Canyon)

It’s a really fun lineup — a little something for everyone, and a couple that I think will go quickly.

Hello Friends,

This week’s TGIF Special is something close to my heart: our 2021 Sangiovese from Adobe Canyon Vineyard.

Adobe Canyon is tucked away in the hills of the Los Olivos District. It is quiet, beautiful, and a little off the beaten path. It is a small, family vineyard, and we are fortunate to make all of the wine that comes from it. That kind of relationship is rare, and it shows up in the glass.

The 2021 Sangiovese is vibrant and expressive, with red cherry, a hint of spice, and that earthy backbone that makes Sangiovese so food-friendly and easy to love. It is the kind of wine that does not need a special occasion, but somehow makes any night feel like one.
