Newsletter June 3, 2023

Hello Friends, Family, Wine Aficionados & Everybody else who shares Bacchus’ affinity for grape.


Welcome to the St. Avalo newsletter—where our aim is to keep you abreast of the latest on quality wine & quality times. We wouldn’t be here without you & we’re beyond excited that you’re here.


St. Avalo is based on a love story & love is what keeps us making wine. We’re excited to share that we’ve gone live online & we’re inviting you all to grab a taste of the Santa Ynez Valley—straight to your door.


The first of our organic estate wines were bottled 1 year ago, and we’re now opening our cellars up to non-wine club members. We hope you have a chance to #TasteTheValley as we can offer wines that rival what you have tasted from Liguria, Sardegna & Toscana.


In celebratory spirit & anticipation for our 2023 bottling, we’d like to extend 10% OFF and FREE shipping with PROMO CODE: THOR. Make your wine selections from our website & be sure to keep in touch with us on your favorite social channel.


Best,


The Saint

A belated cheers to 2025 from your friends at St. Avalo Wines! As we kick off a new year, we're excited to add a splash of color to your Winter/Spring with a club pickup party on February 15th. Join us as we get a new season kicked off with Tony Ybarra, local Santa Barbara guitarist.

St. Avalo Wines win Peninsula Underground competition.

Being a boutique wine producer, you'll not find St. Avalo wines at supermarkets or restaurant chains. We take pride in personally visiting restaurants + bottle shops to develop relationships & ensure we're a mutually sound fit for our partners. When you're as passionate as we are about delivering on quality, it's critical to find those who share our values. Our core focus when approaching our market is centered around partnering with those who share our appreciation for quality like our friends at Cuyama Buckhorn & many others. And the same goes for market feedback... We recently had a chance to meet the Peninsula Underground folks & appreciated what they were doing with the boutique wine producer community in California. We entered the first 3 of our estate wines to be bottled in their 2023 California Underground competition—and were surprised to have won "Best in Class" on our 2021 Pinot Grigio & 2021 Vermentino.

It's with great pleasure we're announcing the opening of our public tasting room at the heart of Los Olivos, CA in the Santa Ynez Valley!  While the Central Coast is often overlooked as a destination, we've set our roots deep into the community over the past 15+ years and count ourselves lucky to call the Santa Ynez Valley home. We're putting the finishing touches on what we aim to be a gathering spot for locals, a welcoming introduction to our brand for wine aficionados & a staple for all to experience while in our small town.

Since 2013 Peninsula Underground has strived to help their community find great wines of great value. We recently met the folks at Peninsula Underground & appreciated what they were doing with the boutique wine producer's community in California. We chose to enter the first of our 3 estate wines in their “2023 Under the Radar CA” competition—and were surprised to have won “Best in Class” on two of our wines!

Where has all the wi—time gone?

As many of you know, last Spring we bottled the first of our estate wines from the 2021 harvest. After letting the wines cure from bottle shock, we did our best to share our wines with all of our Friends+Family around the world & were very pleased with all the warm feedback we had! Being the curious ones we are, we sought out an expert opinion last September to taste our wines & give us some professional feedback. If you’ve followed St. Avalo for some time, you’ll likely have already tried our 2021 Vermentino. A somewhat lesser-known Italian grape that is indigenous to Sardinia, we surprisingly have a similar climate & terroir here in the Santa Ynez Valley to the Italian island. Coming in as our top-rated wine of 2021 was our Vermentino with a score of 89! Here is what WineEnthusiast had to say: “Crisp apple, lemon blossom and lime peel aromas make for a zesty nose on this bottling of a promising grape for the region. There’s pear-like ripeness to the palate, which shows a light textural edge.” - Matt Kettmann
