Winter Wine Club 2020

Hello Friends,

After a wonderful and family filled December, we started out 2020 running! I went back to grad school. It is a degree I started almost 19 years ago and put on hold while we built our first winery and then started having all kinds of babies and stuff. I am finishing my degree in Alternative Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine Law School. I was feeling pretty good about having some extra time to devote to this unfinished business, but I was crazy; there is never enough time. However, I am loving it! LOVING IT!!  I couldn't do it without the help of Joey and Tina, who have entirely picked up the extra slack at home and at the winery.

Joey has been running as well…he started out the new year with three bottling dates back to back. There are so many new wines that we are releasing in the next year. The last two harvests have been abundant in Syrah, Grenache, Sangiovese, and Tempranillo, to name a few from unique vineyards around the valley.  Soon they will be coming your way as single vineyards wines and also several blends.  Needless to say, Joey has been having a lot of fun in the cellar.

Have you visited the new website? It definitely needed an update, and it still needs a few more finishing touches. I think it eloquently expresses who we are. And who we are is all of you beautiful people who enjoy our wine. I just loved looking through the photos of the past year of everyone smiling, enjoying their friends, dancing, and sitting around the Transcendence table.  We have hosted girls' night, birthday parties, going away parties, work parties, and of course, our wonderful TGIF nights. Our social media is filled with folks who have tagged us while enjoying a bottle of our wine. They are sharing wine with their family and friends at home or in some exotic location.  The vibe is always positive at Transcendence, and chances are you will run into someone you know or meet a new friend. 

Thank you to Tina, Caitlin, and Shannon, who know how to host a great party and do a fantastic job of taking care of you all.

We are grateful and appreciate your loyal membership, and we wish you an abundance of love, friendship, and sweet blessings!

Sara and Joey
