Love and Fire

In an effort to rev up the local economy, curtail tourism which would prevent the spread of Covid, the County has decided that for us to open, we must require customers to buy a meal in addition to a glass of wine. I suggested that we require people to show proof of residency. Still, for reasons beyond my control and understanding, food is the answer. Again, eating a meal is a better way to curtail tourism than requiring proof of local residency. Economically, emotionally, and mentally I need to open. Intellectually and ethically, I can’t force my dear customers to do something that literally makes no sense to me.  Someday, the Covid documentary will be released, and all of this craziness will be revealed.  In the meantime, Transcendence will wait until we can open without mandating grown-ass adults to eat food.

For wine club members, our TGIF specials ($25/bottle)  this week are the 2019 Zotovich Vineyard Chardonnay and the 2018 Dorigo Vineyard Grenache.  Let me know if you would like to pick up, stash, ship, or enjoy free local delivery.

AND…For Lompoc locals, which includes VAFB, starting today and lasting through the end of June, Transcendence will be offering 20% off any wine. So, spread the word, and if someone joins the club, you get a referral bottle on us!

Our hours this week at the tasting room location are:

Thursday and Friday from 4-6 pm, Saturday from 12-4 and Sunday from 3-5.

I hope you understand my position on this food issue.  Sent with a lot of love and a fair amount of fire,

Sara
