Hello Friends,

I hope you all enjoyed that Rosé. It sure has been nice to see the sun and take off a layer or two. This week the TGIF special is the 2020 Providence. The Providence is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Syrah. In Italy, this is referred to as a Super Tuscan. Blends are so wonderful; they entice your palate with so many layers. This was in your winter wine club, and after this TGIF, we will tuck the rest of the cases away to age for a while. Let me know if you want to pick up, stash, or ship with your next wine club order. TGIF=$30/bottle.

This week our son (our baby) is turning 16. He will get his first set of wheels (wings) this week. Happy Birthday Sean Ryan Gummere!

Hello Friends,

Do you know what pairs perfectly with Easter? Rosé!!!!!

We are doing a little TGIF Pre-release and simultaneously trying to stimulate DEFLATION NATION. This week, our TGIF special will be the 2022 Rosé, $25/bottle, with no limit (regularly $36/bottle). Text your bestie, who doesn't check her email, and call your mom (call your mom anyway). Let me know if you want to pick up, stash, or ship with your next wine club order. This will be a wine club wine at the end of the month, and even though we made a little bit more this vintage, there probably won't be another TGIF sale for quite some time.

Also, we will be closed for Easter to spend time with our families.
.

Enjoy!

Hello Friends,

This will be the last call for our 2020 Silver Linings Syrah. TGIF= $30/bottle.  We made this wine as a nod to all the silver linings that came out Covid.  Hopefully, all the changes you made for the good are still in place.  Let me know if you want to pick up, stash or ship with your next wine club, which releases at the end of April.

Joey will be in the tasting this Friday, he would love to see you.

Enjoy!

Hello Friends,

After today, we will mostly be rain-free for at least a week.  For those who spend their lives outdoors, this is the best news. The beach, the trails, and the golf course are calling my name!

Our TGIF this week is the 2021 G Street Pinot Noir.  This Pinot is a blend of three different clones (777, Pommard, and 115) and two vineyards (Lafond and La Encantada).  We are almost sold out of this outstanding Pinot Noir, which means it might be on our TGIF list a couple more times.  TGIF= $30/bottle.  Let me know if you want to pick up, stash or ship with your next wine club, which releases at the end of April.

Enjoy!

Hello Friends,

I know we need the rain and rain is good.  However, I have become drought tolerant over the years and this rain is messing with my ecosystem.  Anyone else feel the same?

Our TGIF is the 2020 Lafond Grenache.  This cool climate Grenache from the glorious Lafond Vineyard is simply elegant.  I would recommend buying at least a couple bottles, you will want to open this wine in a few years from now.  TGIF= $30/bottle.  Let me know if you would like to pick up, stash or ship.

Enjoy!

Hello Friends,

Your wine club will be ready to pick up in the tasting tonight at 4pm.  If you are a shipping customer, your wines will ship on Monday, February 13th.  The Wine Club party is full, but if you would like to be on the waiting list, just shoot me an email.

Shannon's last day in the tasting will be this Friday, so please stop by and say farewell!

Our tasting room will be closed on Saturday, February 11th, because we will be at winery for the Wine Club Party.

This week, our TGIF is the 2021 Zotovich Vineyard Chardonnay.  In the wine club letter  (below) is a story about how we started making this particular Chardonnay almost 13 years ago.  If you would like to add some Chardonnay to your wine club, just let me know.  TGIF= $30/bottle.
 

Have a great week!

Hello Friends,
 
I want to share a little story about how we started making Chardonnay.  It is hard to believe how many years have passed and how many wines we have made over the years.  We have a handful that has remained the same and have turned into Transcendence traditions.  The Zotovich Vineyard Chardonnay is one of these traditions.
 
We have been making the Zotovich Vineyard Chardonnay in the same style from the same block in the vineyard since 2010.  Many of you have these past vintages cellared in your collection, and I hope you have the opportunity to enjoy them side by side.  I was stubborn at first with Chardonnay because I didn’t really care for it and didn’t want to sell it.  Joey, who loves a challenge and probably loves to conquer my stubbornness, set out to change my mind on Chardonnays.  Joey and I embarked on a fun recon mission to find the perfect glass of Chardonnay that he could emulate.   We bought wines online, from wine shops and visited as many tasting rooms as possible. 
 
We fell in love with the wines of Chablis which are fresh, clean, and wrapped in acidity.  These wines pair effortlessly with food and are so refreshing and satisfying on their own.  Our favorite producer was Domaine Raveneau, a French producer based in the Chablis wine region of Burgundy.
 
All of our Chardonnays are fermented in stainless steel, and some stay in stainless while others are transferred to neutral French Oak barrels.  The Zotovich Chardonnay is fermented and aged in stainless steel before bottling.  There is no malolactic fermentation or any other winemaking intervention, just a crisp and clean representation of what Chardonnay truly tastes like.   Joey has endeavored to make these Zotovich Vineyard Chardonnays in the Chablis fashion and nails them every year.  If you didn’t get a Zotovich Chardonnay in your wine club this time, or if you are like me and have sworn all Chardonnay off for life, I say give it a try and make sure you take advantage of the next time this wine is on our TGIF deal and enjoy the tradition!
 
We wish you an incredible 2023 with new adventures, old traditions, and many glasses of wine.
 
Made with love,
 
Sara, Joey, Tina, Shannon, Caitlin, Heather, and Chris

Hello Friends,

We are welcoming 2023 with open arms and a fresh perspective. Last week, I was asked to describe 2022 in one word. After much thought, my word was "juxtaposition." There were such amazing highs coupled with incredible lows. My daughter, who was with me that night, also received the question and her answer was quite different. Her word was "even." She reflected that 2022 had no significant highs or lows in the year. Some of my most notable highs and lows were with her. It just amazes me how our perspectives shape our outlook. For me, 2023 is all about perspective and managing my ability to pivot my perspective.

Our TGIF this week is the 2021 G Street Pinot Noir, $30/bottle. Let me know if you want to pick up, stash, or ship. 

Our winter wine club releases in February, so if you have a wine club in the tasting room, this week would be a great week to collect it.

Wishing you all luck on your New Year's resolutions and the ability to change your perspective as life blesses you with challenges.
