Celebrating the Summer 2026 SVS Allocation
We had the best time touring across California to celebrate the release of the summer allocation with the SVS! We’re so grateful for this community, and we can’t wait to share what we have in store for the fall.
SVS Poolside Party at Solage with Found Oyster and Leon’s, Calistoga, CA
The SVS gathered poolside at Solage for a quintessential late summer evening in Napa Valley, featuring some of the best shuckers around, Ari Kolender of Found Oyster in Los Angeles, and Brooks Reitz of Leon’s Oyster Shop in Charleston. Members enjoyed a full seafood bar and passed canapés alongside SCRIBE summertime favorites like our White Pressed Pinot Noir and Estate Sparkling Chardonnay. Live music set the mood throughout the evening, and synchronized swimmers took to the pool for a special surprise performance as the sun went down!
SVS Hacienda High Tea with Violet Cakes, Sonoma, CA
The SVS joined us for our first-ever Hacienda High Tea, with a menu crafted by Claire Ptak of London’s Violet Cakes. Members delighted in silver towers of hand-held bites, including traditional tea sandwiches, Estate-grown plum scones, tahini and halva brownies and madeleines with peach-leaf creme anglaise, all made in-house by the Hacienda kitchen team, and paired with the wines of the summer release and a few special sparkling selections from the library.
SVS Harvest Dinner at the Hacienda, Sonoma, CA
SVS members gathered for a special al fresco dinner at a long table on the Hacienda front lawn, with the backdrop of our soon-to-be harvested estate fruit still on the vine. Kelly Mariani and team prepared a beautiful open-fire feast enjoyed family-style, with fresh summer releases — including our 2025 Estate Hillside Riesling — poured alongside. As the evening wound down, we gathered in the Hacienda to enjoy peach leaf ice cream and our 2022 Estate Sparkling Pinot Noir, with the cheerful view of the palms lit warmly against the fading summer light.
SVS Night at Parkside, Stinson Beach, CA
Parkside Café helped us set the scene for another stunning summer evening in Stinson Beach with the SVS! Our fifth-annual event included a cocktail hour with freshly shucked Hog Island oysters, enjoyed in the courtyard to the sound of proprietor John Gilbert’s local jazz band, followed by a communal dinner of Dungeness crab cakes, gougeres, and locally caught Halibut from the nearby sea. Members also enjoyed the latest wines of the summer release, from the 2025 White Pressed Pinot Noir to the 2022 Sparkling Pinot Noir. Looking forward to next August!
SVS Night at Hermon’s, Los Angeles, CA
We wrapped up our SVS summer tour at Hermon’s, a new and ever-popular neighborhood restaurant in northeast L.A. Hermon’s intimate space was buzzing with energy and conversation, as SCRIBE favorites, including our just-released 2025 White Pressed Pinot Noir and 2025 Hermon’s x SCRIBE Chardonnay, flowed by the glass and bottle alongside Hermon’s standout bistro fare.
