Wine Club Ready!

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.

Sara

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
