Hello Friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful few days off with your family and friends. It was a whirlwind for us, and I was reminded (very quickly!) that I can’t party like a 21-year-old anymore — LOL.

It’s that time of year when we start shipping gifts. If you’d like to send wine to your loved ones, just let me know. For East Coast shipments, the last day to ship is 12/15.

This Week’s TGIF Wines:
• 2023 Zotovich Vineyard Chardonnay
• 2021 Zotovich Vineyard Syrah

TGIF Special: $30 per bottle or $300 per case — feel free to mix and match.

Hello Friends,

Looks like the rain is rolling in, and honestly, I’m here for it. After all those sunny weekends, it feels like the perfect time to curl up with something warm, rich, and a little bit cozy.

This week’s TGIF pick is our 2021 Lafond Grenache — smooth, spiced, and full of that comforting red fruit that pairs beautifully with rainy afternoons, good company, and slow dinners at home.

Hello Friends,

With this being the last warm weekend for a while, I couldn’t resist adding a final splash of summer to our TGIF lineup — our 2023 Rosé of Grenache from Vogelzang Vineyard is back for one last weekend. I have just a small amount left, so it may disappear after this round… or it might stick around a little longer. It all depends on who’s feeling rosy this weekend. 😉

Hello Friends,

Harvest always brings reflection, and this year feels especially meaningful. For the past 25 years, Joey and I have kept a record of every single pick, every varietal, every vineyard, every vintage. Looking back through those pages, we realized that this year was the latest harvest we’ve ever had—almost two weeks later than any in our history. It’s one more reminder that no two vintages are alike, and each tells its own story.

This release also brings some fun milestones worth celebrating: the 2023 Zotovich Chardonnay is our 13th vintage, the 2022 La Encantada Pinot Noir marks our 11th vintage, and the 2021 Providence is our 9th vintage of crafting this Super Tuscan–style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Syrah. Each one reflects not just the vineyard and the vintage, but also the long relationships with growers that make these wines possible.

Life at home has shifted, too. With both kids out on their own adventures, the house is quieter these days, no teenagers coming and going at all hours! While we miss that energy, Joey and I are deeply grateful for this new season of connection, with more time to reflect, dream, and pursue our lives in new ways.

As many of you know, the winery was built in the margins of our lives—late nights and weekends after long days at our “regular” jobs. That rhythm shaped who we are as winemakers and as a family. This August, alongside the winery, I re-opened my consulting practice. The timing feels right, and I now serve as a Cultural Transformation and AI Adoption leader, guiding organizations across industries to embrace technology and innovation while keeping people at the center of change.

Through it all, the winery remains our anchor, a place of joy, creativity, and

connection. Every glass carries not only the story of the vineyard and our family but also becomes part of your story, your time, your place, your moments shared. That is the greatest gift of all.

With warmth and gratitude,

Sara, Joey, Tina, and Caitlin

Hello Friends,

I was holding onto the last of our 2021 La Encantada Pinot Noir, but Tina convinced me it’s too good not to share! We’ll be pouring it for TGIF this week — only 13 cases remain, so it’s first-come, first-served.

Also, a little heads-up: on Saturday, we’ll be closing early to celebrate our dear Caitlin’s wedding! 🥂 If you’re planning to stop by the tasting room that day, please come a bit earlier so we don’t miss you.

We look forward to seeing you this weekend!

Warmly,
Sara

Hello Friends,

This is about the time of year when summer truly begins for us, and the temperature is definitely on the rise. For most of the country, Labor Day signals the start of Fall, but here on the Central Coast, it marks the beginning of our warmest season.

And while “they” say you shouldn’t wear white after Labor Day, I say that rule doesn’t apply to what’s in your glass. White wines never go out of style, especially when it comes to keeping cool while the thermometer climbs.

We’ve got a great TGIF lineup this week to help you beat the heat: 2020 Zotovich Vineyard Chardonnay, 2021 SRH Chardonnay, and for the die-hard red wine drinkers, the 2021 Sangiovese from Adobe Canyon Vineyard. $30/bottle or $300/case, and you can mix and match your case however you like.

Hello Friends,

Cleaning up the cellar is always an adventure.  This week, we uncovered a hidden gem: some unlabeled 2021 Lafond Grenache. I know a few of you will want to tuck these away, so they’ll be available with our tasting room white label.

We’re also giving our TGIF tradition a little upgrade. From now on, TGIF bottles will be $30 and TGIF cases $300 **exclusively for wine club members**

Here’s a little insider tasting tip: we offer half glasses in the tasting room. Sometimes you want to linger over a favorite wine without a full pour, or enjoy “just one more taste” before heading out. It’s also a wonderful way to compare two wines side by side without committing to a full glass, or to simply stretch out the pleasure of your visit.

TGIF = $30/bottle or $300/case
Glasses of Wine = $14/$12
Half Glasses of Wine = $7/$6

Hello Friends,

You’re going to love this week’s TGIF special! We’re bottling in a couple of weeks and need to make room for new case goods.! This week’s TGIF special is a limited stash of our 2021 La Encantada Pinot Noir 🍷.

We ran out of our regular labels, so these bottles are dressed in our white tasting room label (see photo below). Same beautiful wine, just in a slightly different outfit.

TGIF Special: $30/bottle or $300/case 😍 — first come, first served! Please email me directly to reserve so we don’t oversell.

Hello Friends,

I can't believe I am taking this guy to college this week. I'm feeling all the feels this week.

Also, we will be closed on Wednesday this week.  It's Fiesta, and Tina's daughter will be performing!

Our TGIF wine this week will be the 2021 Zotovich Vineyard Sryah.  This is such a wonderful wine, I could literally drink it everyday!

TGIF Special: $30/bottle

Would you like to set a few bottles aside or have some shipped your way? Just reply to this email and I’ll take care of the rest.
