Event Details

Join us for a Barrel Tasting and 2017 Wine Futures Preview! 
Taste new wines before anyone else.

I have spent the last two years working with my team to create a new collection of wines.  They are truly outstanding and honestly my best work yet.  I want your opinion.  I am looking for for a handful of people to join me for one night only to taste through the entire collection before it is released. 

In 2017 I made 16 new wines.  Two of these wines were released in October 2019 (2017 Timeless Sangiovese & 2017 Life Saver Tempranillo).  I have 4 more wines that are being bottled right now including a new sparking wine (Lovely Day) that should be ready in a month or so. That leaves 14 wines that are bottled, ready to go and are not yet released.  The other 4 will be here soon.  If they are here by the night of this event, you will be able to taste all 16 at no extra charge.  :-) My plan is to release one of these 14 new wines every month over the next year.  I want you to join my focus group, taste these wines and give me your thoughts, tasting notes, opinions, and ideas for food pairings.

I hope you’ll join me at an intimate wine focus group.  I am hosting a "ONE NIGHT ONLY" wine tasting event where  will unveil all of the new wines we are about to release at one time.   This is your first and ONLY chance to get a sneak peak at what is to come.   I am opening up the storage lockers and bringing out samples for you to try, fall in love with and take home.  

What you will do at this PRIVATE event.

  • You will taste each of the 14 new wines before they are released.
  • You will rate them all and give your tasting notes, food pairing ideas and thoughts on the wines.  We will use this data when we release the wines to the public in 2020.
  • You will have to chance to buy wine that is discounted before it is released.
  • You will be able to be a part of the launch of the entire 2018 collection of wines.
  • You will get to hang out with Jason & Sofia McClain

 

Access 14 new wines today!
Don't wait until the new collection is released in 2020.


 

What is a Wine Future?
Once a year, wineries across the globe open their cellars for a unique sale: Wine Futures. Top customers, journalists, and wholesale buyers alike are given the exclusive opportunity to taste and purchase wine, before it’s bottled, when it is still aging in barrel. I think that this opportunity should be awarded to our customers as well as.  I think that EVERYONE should have a chance to take a "sneak peak" and give their thoughts on the wine before it is released.

How these Wine Futures Work
You will have the chance to purchase these wines at a discounted price and take them home with you that night!

Wines & Futures Pricing
The wines in a normal wine future are only available directly from the winery.  A regular future means that you tasting barrel samples and have a chance to buy wine at a discount before it is bottled.  I just will not be releasing them until sometime in 2020. The prices of the wines are discounted for this night only if you should decide to take home wines. Wine club discounts will also apply. :-)
