I don’t think winning an award changes things. But it makes you feel happy. ~ Neha Bhasin
To those of you who received honours, awards and distinctions, I say well done. And to the C students, I say you, too, can be president of the United States. ~ George W. Bush
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth
Okay, this is getting crazy. Just over a week after reporting on our great success at the Los Angeles International Wine Competition and the Texas International Wine Competition—a Best of Class, two Gold Medals, and 95-point score for our Vermentino and a rarified Platinum Medal for our Vino Tinto Rústico—the wines gods bestow again!
This time it’s an even bigger stage—the California State Fair!—where we somehow managed to wrangle a Double-Gold Medal and a 99-point score for our Vino Tinto Rústico, and a Gold Medal, a 95 point score, and Best Micro-Winery White Wine for our Vermentino.
And all this on the heels of our Gold Medal sweep late last fall at the Sonoma County Harvest Fair.
C’mon now!
Look, I hear what you’re thinking. Enough already. How about a little humility?! And I couldn’t agree more. No wine, er, two wines, deserve this much bling in such a short timeframe.
I’m not even going attempt a groveling display of false modesty. This level of public attention to any of my wines is unexpected, embarrassing, and yes… wonderful. It is what it is and the wines have spoken. The only honorable thing to do is “divvy up the gold now” as an old friend used to say when something good happened. If the wines are so award-worthy, they gotta be in your wine cellar.
So, for four days only—today through Sunday—you can buy a mixed case of these two wines, six bottles of each (or a mixed half-case, three bottles of each), for 40% off. That’s the wholesale price we get from restaurants and wine shops, which then mark it back up to sell to you. And I’ll throw in the shipping for FREE!

This isn’t one of those “got too much inventory, gotta move product” sales, or “we should have lowered the price in the first place” discounts. Both of these wines—as you can see above—are the best-of-the-best and they are, actually, priced too low. But you, dear readers are also the best-of-the-best. And so, this is a genuine appreciation sale that actually means something. You’ve stayed loyal and engaged in my journey and it only seems right to share that success.
This deal will remain on our website only through Sunday, and then it is gone forever. Don’t forget, Mother’s Day is coming up and you’re going to need some wine!
Looking for something wine-related to do on Saturday?
We’re going to be pouring these award-winning wines, and then some, at the 7th Annual Garagiste Festival—that unique traveling tasting event and homage to independent boutique winemakers from Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Santa Cruz, and many more Northern California wine regions.
We’re also going to be auctioning off one of only six existing magnum bottles of our otherwise completely sold-out San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition Double-Gold Medal winning 2021 Eclipse Malbec. Proceeds go to support the Garagiste Scholarship Fund at Cal Poly SLO.
It’s all happening this Saturday, April 26 from 1:00 – 5:00pm at Sonoma Veterans’ Memorial Hall, 126 1st Street W, Sonoma, CA 95476
Per the Garagiste website, “Most of these excellent hard-to-find wineries do not have tasting rooms and can’t be found on “wine country” maps. Many sell out their wines quickly to their allocation lists. The Garagiste Festival gives you the rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor and discover some truly unique wines and even enjoy a few first vintages! The wines showcased here are created from personal passion, not a marketing strategy. These are NOT supermarket wines, and the difference is astounding.”
