Tempranillo TGIF

Hello Friends,

I LOVE Day Light savings.  For me, more sun the better and I am really looking forward to longer days which means more time at the beautiful central coast beaches.  

This Friday our TGIF wine will be the 2018 Tempranillo from Adobe Canyon Vineyard in the Los Olivos District.  Regularly $40, TGIF=$25.  Let me know if you would like to pick up, stash or ship.  Our next wine club is coming up quickly in April so I am happy to ship with your next wine club.


Joey will be in the tasting room on Friday night. Have a great weekend my friends!

Valentines TGIF

Hello Friends,

As you know, I love any excuse to celebrate! Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and TGIF! We will have some great chocolate and sweets for you while you pick up your wine club. Also, we are finishing up our website and will have a photographer around 5:30, so if you want to join us, please come a little early.

La Pareja means the couple, so it is totally perfect that we have our 2018 La Pareja (Syrah/Grenache) blend for TGIF this week. Normally, $40 TGIF=$25. Let me know if you would like to pick, stash, or ship. We ship wine club on Monday, so you can definitely add some La Pareja with your shipment. Just a side note, we bottled this wine in January. It is a little tight at the moment, but when it is finished with bottle shock, it will be exceptional as usual.

Last, don't forget about our TGIF Party on 2/28. It will be at the Mission Bar and Grill from 5-8. I will start asking for RSVP's next week.

Have a great weekend!

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

11/20: TGIF Update

Hello Friends,

We have never raised the price of our TGIF wines since we opened our doors almost 10 years ago and every year the cost of making wine increases. I have to do it though and I apologize because I know you feel the cost of goods and services going up in all aspects of your life. Joey and I are still committed to ensuring that normal folks have access excellent wines at an affordable price point. TGIF weekly wines are now $25/bottle. The deal is still incredible!!!

This week's TGIF is our 2017 Pay Dirt which is a blend of Syrah, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Normally $45 TGIF=$25.

For this wine we are setting a 3 bottle MAX. Let me know if you would like to pick up, stash or ship.

On Friday Bubba's Chicken and Waffles will be at the tasting room and as a reminder we will be closed on Thanksgiving but open on Wednesday from 4-7, bring your family, we will entertain them:)

Thank you all for your support and love,

Sara
