La Encantada Pinot Noir

Hello Friends,

I was holding onto the last of our 2021 La Encantada Pinot Noir, but Tina convinced me it’s too good not to share! We’ll be pouring it for TGIF this week — only 13 cases remain, so it’s first-come, first-served.

Also, a little heads-up: on Saturday, we’ll be closing early to celebrate our dear Caitlin’s wedding! 🥂 If you’re planning to stop by the tasting room that day, please come a bit earlier so we don’t miss you.

We look forward to seeing you this weekend!

Warmly,
Sara

Three TGIF wines to mix and match

Hello Friends,

This is about the time of year when summer truly begins for us, and the temperature is definitely on the rise. For most of the country, Labor Day signals the start of Fall, but here on the Central Coast, it marks the beginning of our warmest season.

And while “they” say you shouldn’t wear white after Labor Day, I say that rule doesn’t apply to what’s in your glass. White wines never go out of style, especially when it comes to keeping cool while the thermometer climbs.

We’ve got a great TGIF lineup this week to help you beat the heat: 2020 Zotovich Vineyard Chardonnay, 2021 SRH Chardonnay, and for the die-hard red wine drinkers, the 2021 Sangiovese from Adobe Canyon Vineyard. $30/bottle or $300/case, and you can mix and match your case however you like.

TGIF = $30/bottle or $300/case

Lafond Grenache

Hello Friends,

Cleaning up the cellar is always an adventure.  This week, we uncovered a hidden gem: some unlabeled 2021 Lafond Grenache. I know a few of you will want to tuck these away, so they’ll be available with our tasting room white label.

We’re also giving our TGIF tradition a little upgrade. From now on, TGIF bottles will be $30 and TGIF cases $300 **exclusively for wine club members**

Here’s a little insider tasting tip: we offer half glasses in the tasting room. Sometimes you want to linger over a favorite wine without a full pour, or enjoy “just one more taste” before heading out. It’s also a wonderful way to compare two wines side by side without committing to a full glass, or to simply stretch out the pleasure of your visit.

TGIF = $30/bottle or $300/case
Glasses of Wine = $14/$12
Half Glasses of Wine = $7/$6

Let me know if you’d like to pick up 🚗, stash 🛍️, or ship 📦 — I’ll take care of the rest.

Pinot + TGIF = $300/Case 😍 First Come, First Served!

Hello Friends,

You’re going to love this week’s TGIF special! We’re bottling in a couple of weeks and need to make room for new case goods.! This week’s TGIF special is a limited stash of our 2021 La Encantada Pinot Noir 🍷.

We ran out of our regular labels, so these bottles are dressed in our white tasting room label (see photo below). Same beautiful wine, just in a slightly different outfit.

TGIF Special: $30/bottle or $300/case 😍 — first come, first served! Please email me directly to reserve so we don’t oversell.

Happy Anniversary to US

Hello Friends!

Joey and I are celebrating our 22nd anniversary this weekend, and it’s hard to believe how quickly time passes. The paintings behind our big Transcendence table in the tasting room are of our wedding sites at Lafond Vineyard, a meaningful reminder of where it all began. It somehow feels like yesterday and a lifetime ago all at once. In honor of the weekend, our 2021 Adobe Canyon Vineyard Tempranillo is the TGIF wine this week—balanced, gentle and full of character, just like a long-lasting marriage. TGIF = $30/bottle. If you’d like to grab a bottle, add to your cellar stash, or have one shipped your way, just say the word.

Cheers,
Sara

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
