Zotovich Syrah

Hello Friends!

Last night, Joey and I slipped into the hot tub and popped open a bottle of Zotovich Syra. Wow, was it a moment. This wine is something special. We found ourselves just as captivated by its intoxicating aromas as we were by every sip. It's a classic cool-climate Syrah with impeccable pedigree, farmed with genuine care and precision.

I just got back from the market, and we're opening another bottle tonight with my parents, who just arrived in town. On the table: crusty bread, olive tapenade, Manchego cheese, fresh cherries, and a bit of chocolate to finish. This wine sings with it all.

At $30 a bottle, it’s an absolute steal, and yes, it’s that good. If you’d like to grab a bottle, add to your cellar stash, or have one shipped your way, say the word.

And to all the recent grads, congratulations! Your community is proud of you.

Cheers,

Sara

Dear Wine Club Family,

As spring unfolds with its promise of new beginnings, our family is experiencing a season of transition, growth, and celebration—and I know many of you are, too. We’re so grateful to share these moments together.

This year, our daughter Taylor is graduating from college and preparing for her next adventure, while our son Sean is graduating from high school and is ready to spread his wings. As parents, we’re filled with pride, a touch of wistfulness, and deep joy as we watch them step into new chapters of their lives. These milestones have us reflecting on how much love we pour into the people—and the things—we nurture, until the time comes to step back and let them go.

In many ways, that same feeling echoes in how we think about our wines. Each vintage starts as a vision, is shaped by care and attention, and matures until it’s ready to be released into the world. Like our children, these wines carry a piece of us. And while it’s always a little bittersweet to let them leave the cellar, it brings us great joy to know they’re going to good homes—yours.
We’re especially proud of the wines in this latest release. They’re expressive, balanced, and full of character—just as we hoped they would be. None of this would be possible without your continued support. Whether you've been with us since the beginning or recently joined, your enthusiasm and loyalty mean the world to us.

Thank you for being part of our extended family. There’s something deeply comforting in knowing that, together, we raise our glasses to graduations, goodbyes, and new beginnings. We hope these wines bring joy to your table and become part of your own cherished memories—just as creating them has been such a meaningful part of ours.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Sara, Joey, Tina, Trish and Caitlin

Holiday Cab!

Hello Friends,

 

I am quite sure Christmas and Hanukkah pairs perfectly with Cab! Our TGIF this week is the 2021 McGinley Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. For those of you who are history wine buffs in the Santa Ynez Valley, McGinley Vineyard used to be Westerly Vineyard. Jack McGinley bought it several years ago, but Coastal Vineyard Care has maintained impeccable farming. Regularly $60/bottle, TGIF $30/bottle for wine club members only. This Cabernet Sauvignon will make a fantastic gift for someone special and an unforgettable night with whatever delicious dish you plan to pair with it. We are down to the final few cases, so this will be the last TGIF for this wine; please let me know if you'd like to pick up, stash, or ship.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
