La Pareja

Hello Friends,

Our TGIF this week is the 2021 La Pareja.  La Pareja translates to "the couple" in Spanish and we think that Grenache and Syrah are quite possibly the perfect couple.   This is a delightful and robust blend of Syrah from Zotovich Vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills and Grenache from Portico Hills Vineyard in Los Alimos. Regularly $46/bottle.  TGIF=$30/bottle.  Let me know if you want to pick it up, stash it, or ship it.

Enjoy!

Wine Club Ready

Hello Friends,

I'm sending this email out a day early because tomorrow is a big day! Your wine club will be ready in the tasting room at 4 p.m., and it is the last day to RSVP for our Wine Club Picnic Party. Because we are hosting this party at a ranch (not at the winery), I will only have the orders for out-of-town customers at the party. For all of our local friends, your wines will be available at the tasting room.

Our TGIF wines this week will be the 2021 Zotovich Vineyard Chardonnay and the 2021 El Camino Syrah.  TGIF=$30/bottle.  Let me know if you want to pick up, stash, or ship on May 20th.

The wine club letter is below for your reading pleasure:)

Enjoy your weekend!

Dear Friends,

One of the most common questions we encounter in our tasting room is, "Do you own your own vineyards?" The answer is no, and I'd like to share a bit about why we made that choice. Initially, the cost of acquiring and maintaining vineyards was prohibitive, but as the years passed, we found immense joy in sourcing grapes from all corners of the Santa Ynez Valley. This approach liberated us from the constraints of a single climate and terroir, allowing us to craft Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon wines with equal finesse.

What sets the Santa Ynez Valley apart is its geological formation as one of the rare transverse valleys in the world. Transverse valleys are characterized by their orientation perpendicular to the coastline, allowing cool maritime breezes and fog to funnel inland, creating a distinct microclimate ideal for grape cultivation. We are so fortunate to access fruit from such a unique geological area. As stewards of the grapevine, we cherish the delicate art of winemaking, akin to a chef's meticulous selection of ingredients. Just as each market boasts its unique array of flavors, each vineyard imparts its distinct imprint upon the grapes it yields. The variegated climates, soils, and elevations of different vineyard sites bestow upon the grapes an unparalleled complexity, allowing us to craft wines of exceptional character and depth.

For over two decades, we have nurtured partnerships with select vineyards, cultivating a profound understanding of their terroir. This enduring relationship grants us an intimate knowledge of the fruit's nuances, enabling us to discern how each vineyard's grapes yearn to be transformed into wine.

Made with love and sending immense wishes of gratitude. Your support of Transcendence makes it possible for us to purchase the very best fruit from around the Valley and produce wine at its finest.

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

Happy Mother's Day

Hello Friends,

Wishing you all a wonderful Mother's Day, I am luckiest because I get to spend this Mother's Day with my mom!  We will be closed on Sunday to celebrate with our families, but we have two great TGIF wines to get you through the weekend.  The 2021 Lafond Vineyard Pinot Noir, and the 2022 Rosé of Grenache from Vogelzang Vineyard.  TGIF=$30/bottle.  Let me know if you want to pick up, stash, or ship with your upcoming wine club.

Two reminders:

  • Your Wine Club will not be ready until May 15th

  • Please RSVP to the Wine Club Picnic by May 15th

Enjoy your weekend!

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!

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!
