Hello to our member family,

I hope this year has found you happy, healthy, and sharing some great wine with the people you love.

This year marks my 12th with Jessup Cellars. Some of you have been here longer than me, and for some this is your first shipment ever. Wherever you are in your member journey, I want to thank you. These past two years have had many ups and downs, but one thing has been very clear: we have the best member family out there.

I hope that we will see you in Yountville soon, and if you can’t be here in person, perhaps we can come to you! Our Wine on Location team is traveling and will more than likely be in your area in the near future. Please let me know if you would like more information.

In the meantime, open up a bottle of Jessup with someone you care about, and let us know how it is!
