Holus Bolus & Black Sheep Finds

Spent most of the day moving Syrah from one tank to another in preparation for bottling next month. Making sure the wines are clear and stable is the final step before going into bottle. #organics #staritahills #syrah

One of our wine club members got very creative this #thanksgiving with a Holus Bolus themed pie!

Hot off the press: 2018 Holus Bolus Syrah, Franc de Pied, 97 points, Editor’s Choice, Wine Enthusiast and 2018 Holus Bolus Syrah, Presqui’le Vineyard, 96 points, Editor’s Choice, Wine Enthusiast. Two very distinct and different cool-climate Syrahs, that we absolutely love. Get them before they are gone! #syrah

Packing up wine club shipments to all of our great fans and supporters. A really nice set of wines coming your way: 2017 Hocus Pocus Syrah, 2018 Holus Bolus Franc De Pied, 97 points Wine Enthusiast and 2018 The Joy Fantastic Pinot Noir, 95 points Wine Enthusiast. Fall is coming, time to settle down with some delicious reds! #organic #syrah #staritahills

We fin Aly got our red grape harvest underway today with some lovely Pinot Noir (Swan) from The Joy Fantastic! Got some good help from @thesunnysidewine and @tater_magic on the sorting table!

We started off harvest 2020 this week with a little bit of Pinot Noir rosé from The Joy Fantastic. It is now happily ferment away! #rose #pinotnoir #organic

It’s midsummer which means shade is the name of the game when tasting in Los Olivos! We are open Friday-Sunday, 12-5pm for outdoor tasting. We hope to see you soon!

Hi everyone - it’s Amy here this time! Two things. 1. I wanted to show you a picture of Peter’s butt. You’re welcome. 2. I wanted to tell you that we are offering free shipping through the end of March. Order online - link in bio - and choose pickup in the shipping option. If you are reading this far down something has gone wrong in your life. So I will tell you a super secret message. Peter and I are complete weenies and we have failed miserably at our vineyard weeding project. Disastrously. I mean, like getting 3 rows done today. I cried, he got a blister. Good news - we are still married - which was not a foregone conclusion at 3pm today. @ Lompoc, California
