Kicking Off Harvest 2020 with Carneros Pinot Noir
Greetings to our member family!
Wow, what a year we have had so far. Obviously we, like you, have had to make various changes to our day to day lives. While every year seems to go fast and finds me in disbelief when we hit harvest season, this one has been especially unbelievable. Thankfully we are here and ready to continue our longstanding tradition of producing wines that you and your families can enjoy together and from afar.
We know you may have had a trip planned to see us this year, and we want to assure you that whenever that trip happens, we will be here. While we will not be able to have an in-person member celebration this year, we are working diligently to bring the Jessup experiences to your home. Be on the lookout for a lot of exciting programming this fall and winter, or book a virtual tasting with us! If you’re close by, please come by for a tasting experience. We have indoor and outdoor patio experiences available!
I am incredibly excited about our fall releases this year, and I hope you will share your thoughts with me. Please stay safe, sound, and stocked up on your favorite wines, and we will see you very soon.
Cheers,
Bailey Downing, Senior Director of Membership and Hospitality
