Hello Friends,
First and foremost, you are going to love these wines. They are up there with the best of the best and will continue to age with grace.
Do you ever feel like nothing can surprise you? The last thing I want to be is immune to bad news, but I find myself repeating this phrase repeatedly: "this isn't my first rodeo." Colloquialisms and idioms are forms of communication that resonate with us all. They are, as they ever were, the universal language.
We feel like it is "just the tip of the iceberg" and a "matter of time" before the "bottom drops out" and we all "go down in flames." We are all "up to our eyeballs" with bad news, but we remind ourselves that "shit happens" and "this isn't our first rodeo." We know how to "make ends meet," and we have "dodged a bullet" before. We sure have "our work cut out for us," though. Good thing we know how to "pivot on a dime." "We weren't born yesterday," so "through thick and thin," we will "pull ourselves up by the bootstraps." "It is all part of the process" and "everything happens for a reason." Remember to "stay in the moment" because "we are all in the same boat." We will "rise to the occasion" "with flying colors." "Keep your chin up," "hard work pays off," "there is a light at the end of the tunnel," and "every cloud has a silver lining." "We've got this!"
Right? We've got this! You got this!! Inflation, recession, markets crashing, war, devastating yields, social unrest, erratic weather, political dysfunction, energy turmoil, NO PROBLEM!
"At the end of the day," what matters is that you pay attention to your health, love your family, make time for your friends, enjoy a hobby, savor tasty food and drink delicious wine made with love. "Nothing else matters."
Cheers to you and yours. We are grateful to you!
Love,
Sara, Joey, Tina, Caitlin, Shannon, Chris, and Halston

Hello Friends,
**We will be closed for a private party from 12-2pm on Sunday, September 25th**
It is not uncommon to have a heat wave in September, but for eight days???... that is very uncommon. It is also not uncommon to have some showers during September, but an inch and a half of rain??.. strange. We, fortunately, have not experienced any detrimental effects from the weather. The grapes have all been in great shape. So far, we have harvested Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Grenache, and Pinot Noir. We have experienced very low yields, as with many other winemakers in the Valley. The low yields were due to the very windy and cold spring we experienced, so the grapes did not set very heavy. This is a blessing and a curse. A curse because we are making less wine, and that hits the bottom line, but a blessing because the concentration of flavors in these small yields has been exceptional. So far, our harvest crew (Joey, Chris, and Tina) are killing it in the cellar, and still in good spirits despite these crazy first three weeks of Harvest. At the end of the day, we have to remember that we are farmers, our lives revolve around the weather, and there is always a Silver Lining.
Our TGIF wine this week is the 2020 Silver Linings Syrah, $30/bottle. Let me know if you want to pick up, stash, or ship with your next wine club.
We are officially in Autumn!

Hello Friends,
We just finished two full bottling days and have many new wines to share. I hope you all enjoyed the G Street Pinot Noir last week. For you non-Pinot fans, I have a wonderful TGIF to share this week. This week's TGIF is the 2020 La Pareja, a Rhone blend of Syrah and Grenache. La Pareja means the couple in Spanish. This couple is a blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache. $45/bottle, TGIF=$30/bottle. Let me know if you want to pick up, stash or ship.
I can't believe it is already Labor Day. Enjoy the weekend!

Hello Friends,
There is both good and bad news in this email. I will start with the bad news. I have to raise our prices. I know I don't have to explain why. I'm sorry, I know you are getting it from all angels in your life as we are. I think for the quality, the price is still the best around. TGIF will go up $30/bottle, and glasses of wine will be $12/$14/$16, depending on the wine.
The good news is I have Pinot Noir for TGIF this week, and I AM NOT RAISING OUR PRICES UNTIL NEXT WEEK!
2021 G Street Pinot Noir. 70% La Encantada Vineyard, 30% Lafond Vineyard with a blend of the following clones; Pommard, 777, and 115. The wine was just bottled, so please keep that in mind. It might be a little "bottle shocky," but I promise it will settle down in a few weeks. $25/bottle, this week only.
There is no limit this week, so please freely stock up while the price is right. Let me know if you want to pick up, stash, or ship (depending on the weather or with your next wine club in October).
We have gone through a lot together in the last few years. Thank you for hanging in there with us!

Hello Friends,
We are just a few weeks from harvest and are enjoying these last few weeks of summer. It is always a bitter/sweet time for us. Hard to let our family time go, and exciting to see what this vintage will bring.

This week our TGIF is the 2020 Zotovich Vineyard Chardonnay and the 2020 Silver Linings Syrah for $25/bottle. Let me know if you want to pick up, stash, or ship.
If you have not picked up your wine club from May, we will be contacting you shortly to arrange shipping.
Have a great rest of your week.
