Fall 2026 Club Release

For our long time Club members, you likely know at least two things about us - we enjoy the season of harvest and cooking for friends and family. Harvest dinners with the crew provide the opportunity to combine both of our loves.

The harvesting of grapes concludes the cycle of the growing season and the start of crafting that fruit into wines that will, hopefully, be enjoyed for years to come. There is beauty every year in seeing the grapes come into the winery and transform into wine. Calli loves the sticky sweet feel of the first grapes and Deven loves the “go-time” feeling as the winery buzzes with new energy.

Crew dinners are a time when the team comes together to celebrate the season, try new wines, and tell stories about “this one time.” The laughter and happy chaos of the evening are why we do what we do.

Recipes by Chef Yotam Ottolenghi are a consistent “go-to” for our menus because of the range of flavors and consistent ease of pairing with our wines. Calli recently traveled to London and had the pleasure of dining at NOPI by Ottolenghi. The evening exceeded all of her wishes and dreams; the favorite items of the night were a kefir lime martini and lamb meatballs. Never can go wrong with that pairing.

As we share this Fall’s wine, we also wanted to share what inspires us to create our version of Joyful Noise. Simple by Yotam Ottolenghi is a go to cookbook and in the playlist we highlight some of our favorite recipes.
