EMPLOYEE HIGHLIGHT
N EW R ELEAS E W I N E S 2022
MEET ERIC LAYBOURN
Eric has been one of our anchors in the cellar for 4 years. While he
was working in the wine department at Trader Joe’s, Eric became
intrigued about the winemaking process. After working as a harvest
intern, Jen offered him a full-time Cellar Lead role at the winery and
the rest is history! He and his wife, Sarah packed up and moved
from San Diego in 2020 and are loving Sonoma County life!
We hope you’ll meet Eric at an event, or during your next visit. You’ll
often find him on a forklift or working with our barrels in the cellar!

The #1 question members ask is, “Can I order more than my allocation?” “Allocation” is a tricky word, so let’s chat
about it! Only members have access to our wine, so it is all allocated to you. Beyond that, we do some fancy math
to figure out how many bottles we can offer upon release. Our crystal ball is cloudy when we try to guess how
members will customize orders, so the answer to, “Can I order more?” is most often “Yes!”
Now that temperatures are cooling down and the holidays are creeping up, it’s the perfect time to stock up. It’s
also a great time to consider a membership upgrade, especially since, as we mentioned, the #1 request is “more
wine, please!” We recently redecorated the Signature House and have a few Signature memberships available.
(And current Signature members - you are more than welcome to book your 2023 stays now!).
