December 2024 Member’s Newsletter

Hello Members,

As the 2024 harvest season wraps up and the holidays draw near, it’s time to raise a glass to a year of hard work, celebration, and cherished moments. From spring’s first bud break to the final days of harvest, our team has been passionately crafting wines that reflect the best of our vineyards.

Now, as the vines enter their winter dormancy, they are resting and rejuvenating. Beneath the surface, roots draw in nutrients to prepare for the next growing season, ensuring future vintages will continue to reflect the unique character of our terroir. This period of quiet renewal mirrors the reflective spirit of the holiday season—a time to pause, savor, and appreciate life’s moments.

Your upcoming Priest Ranch club shipment is here to elevate your festive gatherings, whether you’re hosting a holiday feast or enjoying a cozy evening with loved ones.
