Spring Wine Club Schedule

Hello Friends,

We are so excited to release our Spring Wine Club and we are especially looking forward to our Picnic party over Memorial Weekend.  Here are the wines:

2023 Grenache Blanc from Tres Hermans Vineyard
2021 La Pareja Grenache/Syrah blend
2021 McGinley Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.  We have never released a Cab this early in the year, but we think this Cabernet Sauvignon will pair perfectly with summer barbeques.

Here is the schedule:
On May 6th you will receive your wine club order and you will have about a week to make changes.
On May 13th your credit card will be charged.
On May 15th the wines will be ready in the tasting room and the last day to RSVP for the wine club picnic party
On May 20th the wines will start to ship.

Our TGIF wines this week are the 2021 El Camino Syrah and the 2021 SRH Chardonnay. TGIF =$30/bottle for wine club members. Let me know if you want to pick up, stash, or ship with your wine club.

Also, in case you missed last week's email, I do need to make a change for our military customers. For many years, we have offered free wine club shipping for active military. Starting in May, we must charge a $30 flat fee for shipments. The price of shipping wine has increased so drastically that I have no other option. I do apologize; I wish I didn't have to.

Keep the RSVPs coming for our Wine Club Picnic on May 25th.

Enjoy your weekend!

Keep the RSVPs Coming!

Hello Friends,

Our Spring Wine Club will be released next month, and this week, we have a preview wine for our TGIF; the 2021 La Pareja Rhone Blend.  This is a beautifully balanced blend of Syrah and Grenache. TGIF =$30/bottle for wine club members. Let me know if you want to pick up, stash, or ship with your wine club.

Unfortunately, I need to make a change for our military shipping customers. For many years, we have offered free wine club shipping for active military. Starting in May, we must charge a $30 flat fee for shipments. The price of shipping wine has increased so drastically that I have no other option. I do apologize; I wish I didn't have to.

Keep the RSVPs coming for our Wine Club Picnic on May 25th.

Enjoy your weekend and see you soon!

Your RSVP is requested

Hello Friends,

I would love it if you could RSVP to our next wine club party, so I can finalize all of the details.  The invitation is below.  I can accept RSVPs until we get to our maximum capacity or May 15th, whichever comes first.  The party will be a Picnic Memorial Day theme.  Our dear friend, Sandy Bailey has generously given us her magical ranch on Sweeney Road for the day.

This week, we have two TGIFs. The 2021 Zotovich Vineyard Chardonnay and the 2021 El Camino Syrah. TGIF=$30/bottle for wine club members.  Let me know if you want to pick up, stash, or ship.

This will be a really special party and I hope you all can make it!

La Encantada Pinot

Hello Friends,

This week, we have two TGIFs this wekk.  The 2021 Zotovich Vineyard Chardonnay and the 2021 La Encantada Pinot Noir.  This will be the last week you will see the La Encantada for a while.  We are going to tuck it away in case storage for possibly a year or more.  In our opinion, this is a spectacular Pinot Noir and deserves some patience and time for it to be even special.  TGIF=$30/bottle for wine club members.  Let me know if you want to pick up, stash, or ship.

Mark your calendars for our next wine club party, on May 25th. More details to follow.

We are likely facing another weekend of rain here on the Central Coast so enjoy these sunny days!

Let's TGIF!

Hello Friends,

The Winter Wine Club is officially out of the winery and on its way to you!! I know it is a pain when your credit card gets frauded or just expired, but it is one of my favorite times of the year because I get to connect with so many of our members.  Thank you all for being so gracious when I called.  I loved catching up and hearing all the great things about your families.

Our TGIF this week is the 2021 SRH Chardonnay, my current favorite.  This Chardonnay is so gentle in the mouth but also has ample acid, which makes it so refreshing.  TGIF=$30/bottle.  Let me know if you want to pick up, stash, or ship.

Have a great weekend.

Dear Friends,

Since we are releasing two wines from Lafond, I wanted to share how deep our connection with Lafond Vineyard runs. It's not just about the vineyard's exceptional wines but the memories and emotions tied to the location.

Lafond holds a special place in our hearts; it's where our journey as a couple began, where we exchanged vows and celebrated the start of our life together. The beauty of the vineyards, the warmth of the people, and the exquisite wines all contributed to making it an unforgettable time and place.

Joey's time as the assistant winemaker at Lafond was professionally enriching and personally significant. The mentorship and friendship of Bruce McGuire and David Lafond have left an indelible mark on Joey's winemaking journey. Bruce's guidance and wisdom have been invaluable, shaping Joey into the passionate winemaker he is today.

The wines of Lafond represent cherished memories, milestones, and the culmination of hard work and dedication. For us, each sip evokes nostalgia and a deep appreciation. Crafting wine from Lafond Vineyard allows us to stay connected in a very meaningful way.  

Thank you for supporting us as we curate exceptional wines and for helping us foster a community that values quality, tradition, and passion. We look forward to continuing this journey with you, raising a glass to many more years of shared moments and unforgettable wines.

Made with love,

Sara, Joey, Tina, Caitlin, Heather, Trish and Presley
