SUMMER LOVE
Every bottle has a story.
Together, they tell ours.

BRIE BRIE -
2024 Sauvignon Blanc — (SOLD OUT)
DRINK IN AUGUST
There is something extraordinary about watching your children become the people they were always meant to become.
It doesn't happen all at once. It happens a little every day.
Until one morning you look across the table...
And you realize...
They've become.
Brie Brie is a celebration of that quiet miracle. A reminder to slow down long enough to notice the beautiful things that were happening all along.
The kind of wine that reminds you to slow down long enough to notice the beautiful things that were happening all along.

HONYOCKER
2023 The Legendary Red Blend
almost gone
(DRINK IN SEPTEMBER)
Every family has a Honyocker.
The one who makes you shake your head...
And then laugh until your stomach hurts.
They're rarely the easiest people to love.
But years later...
They're almost always the ones with the best stories.
This wine is a reminder that perfection is overrated.
Life is better with a few beautifully imperfect people around the table.
Especially the ones who taught us how to laugh.
MISCHIEF
2023 Estate Traditional Grenache Noir Sauvignon Blanc
almost gone
DRINK IN OCTOBER
Quiet Discipline
Greatness is rarely loud.
It isn't built in front of crowds.
It's built on ordinary Tuesdays.
In early mornings.
One more vineyard row.
One more promise kept when nobody was watching.
That's what this wine reminds me of.
The beautiful things in life aren't usually the result of one extraordinary day.
They're the result of showing up...
Again. And again. And again.
Quiet discipline has a way of becoming - seemingly effortless perfection.
LITTLE MITTS
RED ONLY MEMBERS
Estate 60% Grenache Noir / 40% Syrah
(DRINK NOW)
Every once in a while life gives you a moment so small... you almost miss it.
One afternoon I came home from the vineyard, tired, dirty, and thinking about everything that still needed to get done.
He wanted to be like his dad.
That was it.
No grand speech.
No life-changing event.
Just a little boy with little mitts.
But somehow, in that tiny moment, the rest of my life became clear.
This wine reminds me that what we're really building isn't a vineyard.
It's a family.
Four bottles. One family.
One Unforgettable Summer.
Wine Club Family,
Lately I've been feeling something I don't quite have a word for.
It isn't nostalgia. This feels different.
It's looking at my life today... already knowing I'm going to miss it someday.
Maybe turning fifty has something to do with it. If it did, I am grateful.
Maybe it's watching my daughter become the woman she was always meant to become.
Maybe it's realizing my son won't always have little mitts.
Maybe it's understanding that every family needs a Honyocker—the Memory Maker
Or maybe it's finally appreciating that the life we're all hoping for isn't built in extraordinary moments at all... it's built quietly, one ordinary day at a time.
Whatever it is...It's changed the way I see the world. I've started paying more attention.
To long dinners. To ordinary Tuesdays. To conversations that last a little longer than they needed to.
To the wonderfully imperfect people sitting around my table.
Because I'm beginning to understand something I wish I'd learned years ago.
The good old days aren't somewhere behind us.
They're happening right now.
Every moment of our lives is made from the one thing none of us can ever buy back...
Time.
It's the most valuable thing we'll ever own. And yet, so often, we trade it away.
Convenience instead of connection. Efficiency instead of presence.
We rush through ordinary days, never realizing they're quietly becoming the memories we'll treasure most. Maybe that's why I love making wine.
Every bottle is a time machine.
A harvest. A season. A place.
A chapter of our family's life, carefully preserved for yours.
Every bottle is a song waiting to be played.
A story waiting to be told.
A love letter written to the future.
This allocation is about remembering that life doesn't become beautiful someday.
It already is.
Sometimes we just have to slow down long enough to notice.
Enjoy this allocation - It is Just My Life's Work In A Bottle.
From our Plow to your Porch,
Keith Saarloos
