Releases a Year
No. 02 — The Current Release
White Lines2025 Chardonnay
Chardonnay gets blamed for a lot of things — most of them caused by oak. This one never met a barrel.
Dave Phinney took fruit from Santa Barbara County and let the tank do the talking: Meyer lemon and lime zest, white blossom, wet stone — and a salt-air minerality that keeps circling back. The label is a road at night. The wine drinks the same way.
No. 03 — The Benefits

Members-Only Lounge Coming Soon
Relax in our lounge with premium sound systems, designed exclusively for Wine Club members. We’re building it now — members hear about it first.
No. 04 — The Point
This isn’t a punch card. It’s not a loyalty app. It’s a real relationship with the restaurants and the people who run them — and with your neighbors at the next table.
— The founding idea
No. 05 — Membership

No. 06 — The Library
Seven releases.Each a complete thought.
Drop No. 7 · Current
White Lines
Chardonnay · Santa Barbara County · 2025
Never met a barrel. Meyer lemon, wet stone, salt-air minerality — a clean line straight through, like the road on the label.
The storyDrop No. 6
Keyed Up
Pinot Noir · Russian River / Sonoma Coast · 2024
Two of California’s best Pinot regions that almost never share a bottle. Russian River brings the pretty fruit; Sonoma Coast brings the nerve.
The storyDrop No. 5
The Throwback Kit
Three bottles · A look back through the cellar
No Coincidence, Me and My Shadow, and Call Your Mother — one label is literally shotgun art. Long stories. Good ones.
The storyDrop No. 4
Safe Word
Malbec · Chalk Hill, Sonoma County · 2023
Malbec has an identity crisis — brooding in France, friendly in Argentina. Phinney planted his in Chalk Hill and told it to be both.
The storyDrop No. 3
Save Me San Francisco
Cabernet blend · Napa & Sonoma · 2023
Made with Pat Monahan of Train, benefiting Family House. Ships with handwritten lyrics and a zine on Karl the Fog.
The storyDrop No. 2
Awkward Silence
Zinfandel · Petite Sirah · California · 2023
Named after a bottling-room math mistake that meant a mostly-Zin wine couldn’t legally be called Zinfandel. The room went quiet; the name stuck.
The storyDrop No. 1
Broken Swallowtail
Zinfandel · Cabernet · California · 2023
The one that started the club — brambly, jammy-but-not-sweet, chasing deliciousness over dogma. It disappears before you need a second one.
The full libraryThe next bottle isalready resting.
The club stays intentionally sized so the experience stays personal. If now isn’t your moment, that’s all right — the patio isn’t going anywhere.
