Hello Friends,

It has been a minute since we've poured our 2022 La Encantada Pinot Noir, and this week seems like the perfect time to bring it back into the spotlight. This beautiful Sta. Rita Hills Pinot is showing wonderfully right now, with bright fruit, elegant structure, and all the reasons we fell in love with it in the first place.

🍷 TGIF Special
$30 per bottle | $300 per case

Let me know if you'd like to:
• Pick up a few bottles
• Tuck some away in your cellar
• Have wine shipped out on Monday

🎓 Congratulations to all of this year's graduates! Wishing you an exciting next chapter and a future filled with great adventures.

Cheers,
Sara 🍷

Hello Friends,

We have reached the last few cases of our 2021 Zotovich Vineyard Syrah, so this week’s TGIF is officially a LAST CALL!

This beautiful Syrah has been a favorite around here, and once these bottles are gone, they are gone.

TGIF Special — $30 per bottle

Let me know if you’d like to pick up, stash a few away for your cellar, or have wine shipped out on Monday.

Enjoy these final days of May and cheers to summer right around the corner.

Cheers,

Now for the fun part…

This week’s TGIF wine is our 2022 Happy Canyon Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich, bold, and beautifully balanced, this is one of those wines that feels right at home alongside a long holiday weekend, good food, and great company.

Regularly $60 per bottle
TGIF Special — $30 per bottle

That is one heck of a deal, and a great opportunity to stock up for summer gatherings and BBQ season.

Let me know if you’d like to pick up, stash a few away, or have wine shipped out on Monday.

As we head into Memorial Day weekend, we also want to take a moment to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. We are deeply grateful for their sacrifice and for the families who carry that loss every day.

Wishing you a safe, meaningful, and relaxing holiday weekend.

Cheers,
Sara

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.

2021 Tempranillo
2021 Sangiovese
2021 Providence

TGIF Special — $30/bottle or $300/mixed case

Let me know if you’d like to pick up, stash a few away, or have wine shipped out on Monday.

Thank you for raising a glass with us in Don’s memory.

Hello Friends,

Your wine club will be ready for pickup in the tasting room today, starting at 4 pm!

This week’s TGIF is something brand new for us and a wine I’m especially excited to share. We are releasing our very first Portico Hills Grenache from Los Alamos.

2022 Portico Hills Grenache
TGIF Special — $30 per bottle or $300 per case

Grenache is one of those wines that seems to fit this time of year perfectly. Bright, expressive, and full of energy, it tends to show beautiful red fruit, subtle spice, and a softness that makes it incredibly easy to enjoy.

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.

Hello Friends,

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
TGIF Special — $30 per bottle or $300 per case

This is classic Happy Canyon Cab — structured, layered, and built to age, but drinking beautifully right now. 

Let me know if you’d like to pick up, stash a few, or have it shipped out on Monday.

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.

Wine Club Schedule:

• Monday, April 27 — Wine club emails go out (you’ll have about a week to make any changes)

• Monday, May 4 — Credit cards charged

• Wednesday, May 6 — Wine club ready for pickup in the tasting room

• Monday, May 11 — Wine club shipments go out

Looking forward to sharing these with you.

Enjoy,

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.

Hello Friends,

Some of you may remember this wine by its former name, Pay Dirt. A trademark issue (with a rather determined Paso winery 😊) led us to rename it, and honestly, Providence feels like it was always meant to be.

This blend is one of those rare, complete moments where the whole truly becomes greater than the parts. Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Syrah come together in a way that just works.

A couple of our wonderful members shared this photo of a bottle they’ve been cellaring, and it made my week. I love seeing these wines enjoyed and remembered.

Hello Friends,

With 90-degree temperatures, it’s hard to believe this is the final week of winter here on the Central Coast. Thankfully, the tasting room is staying cool with air conditioning and those perfect coastal breezes on the deck.

This week’s TGIF special is the 2022 La Encantada Pinot Noir. It will be the final TGIF feature for this wine before it sells out.

This pretty outrageous case special is exclusively for our wine club members… because you’re outrageously special to us.

🍷 Hello Friends,

Daylight Saving Time has always been a bit of a mystery to me, especially after living in several places that don’t practice it at all. Regardless, it’s something I look forward to every year. That extra hour of sunlight and the feeling that the days stretch on just a little longer is such a treat. Spring evenings, a glass of wine, and a little more daylight… I’ll take it. ☀️

This week’s TGIF special is a favorite:

🍷 2021 Sangiovese – Adobe Canyon Vineyard

A beautiful, food-friendly Sangiovese with bright character and classic structure — perfect for weekend dinners or simply enjoying a glass as the sun lingers a little longer in the evening.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for being part of our wine club and for continuing to support what we are building at Transcendence. We truly could not do this without you. This release is a beautiful reflection of why we do what we do. Each wine represents a specific place, a specific season, and a steady, intentional approach to winemaking. These are wines made without shortcuts and without noise. Just honest wines that we are proud to share with you. In this release, depending on your selections, you will enjoy:

2025 Happy Canyon Sauvignon Blanc
Bright, fresh, and expressive, with vibrant citrus and a clean, balanced finish.

2023 Honey Pot Late Harvest Chardonnay
Lush and honeyed, balanced by natural acidity. A perfect after dinner wine.

2023 G Street Pinot Noir
Elegant cool climate Pinot Noir with nuance, structure, and quiet complexity.

2022 Happy Canyon Cabernet Sauvignon
Structured and restrained, built for aging while letting the vineyard speak.

Joey has spent more than two decades working quietly across Santa Barbara County, building his career through reliability and integrity rather than visibility. His focus has always been on good farming, thoughtful blending, and making wines that are structurally sound and meant to age. He is detail driven, calm under pressure, and known for being honest with owners and growers, even when the truth is uncomfortable. That approach has earned him the trust of people who rely on him with important fruit, complex situations, and long-term projects.

Transcendence is simply an extension of that mindset. Small production. Cool climate focused. Deeply personal. These wines are not designed to chase trends or trophies. They are made to be opened, shared, and remembered, becoming part of meaningful moments around the table.

Thank you again for being part of this journey with us. We hope you enjoy this release as much as we enjoyed crafting it.

With gratitude,

Sara, Joey, Tina, Caitlin, and Heather
