Good Morning from cozy Healdsburg.
Wrapping up the year with gratitude after big accomplishments for our family winery 2023. If you are reading this, our first thank you goes directly to you. We began 2023 with the mission of taking care of our customers and fans with all our might.
The wines speak for themselves, but you, you have made such a difference and helped us grow this year once again. 2024 is going to be a BLAST together with new wines releasing and all that Smith Story Wine Cellars has planned. You've visited us here in Healdsburg from nearly every single state in America and few foreign countries as well. We are so honored.
What Smith Story Wines did you enjoy most this year?
1) Smith Story Pinot Noir - both Helluva and The Boonies from our beloved Anderson Valley. A new Pinot Noir from the dear Filigreen Farm is among the Spring 2024 release.
2) Smith Story Cabernet Sauvignon, Pickberry Vineyard - both 2017 library release and 2019. Take advantage of availability now, the next Pickberry will not be available for another two years, the 2023 vintage is magical from this legendary Sonoma Mountain vineyard.
3) Smith Story Sauvignon Blanc - crushed it once again. Spring 2024 will bring a new twist to our SavvyB release, we are so excited to share this with you all!
Don't forget your Smith Story Sparkling Brut for NYE and for Gifting too. It was fabulous with our traditional Christmas Eve dungeness crab!
Details on each wine and to purchase
Big press about Smith Story Wine Cellars and our dear Lord Sandwich
Lord Sandwich (SandwichtheDoodle on Instagram) was born 2 years before our first harvest and has truly been the most consistent character in our lives and continues to help us give back in a simply and fun loving way.
All those hours back in Austin while standing in the downtown WholeFoods demo'ing wines, I watched this little shelf placement of Toms shoes grow into a section and end cap of products with meaning.
Social entrepreneurship by Toms inspired me to start Socks for Sandwich. Giving back brings me the greatest joy. Going into 2024, we are shooting for the moon and the stars seem to be finally aligned to achieve success Eric and I have always imagined.
We're working hard to bottle a few thousand new releases by Spring 2024, we'll need some real help to do so though. The article in the Press Democrat outlines our 2024 opportunities a bit too. - Ali
