A Season for Reflection and Celebration

The holidays have always been a magical time for the Strombotne family. Nestled in the heart of Sebastopol, our vineyard takes on a serene beauty this time of year. The golden leaves have fallen, revealing the bare vines resting under the quiet winter sky. It’s in this stillness that we find time to reflect, to celebrate, and to dream of what’s next for Vine Wrangler Wine.

This year, one moment stands out above the rest: our 2022 Pinot Noir, released in October 2024, earned its first Gold Medal at the 2024 Sonoma Harvest Fair. It was a moment of pure joy and validation for all the love and labor poured into that vintage. The delicate notes of cherry, black pepper, and sandalwood in this wine truly tell the story of our vineyard’s unique terroir.

The holidays also inspire us to start new traditions. In our family, this means gathering with glasses of Pinot Noir in hand and preparing meals that reflect the season, each dish paired with the perfect wine. This year, our award-winning Pinot Noir has taken center stage at these gatherings, elevating every meal into a celebration.

The connection between wine and celebration is timeless, and we’re reminded of its power to bring people together. A good wine, much like the holidays, is about savoring the present moment while looking forward to the future. As we sip our Pinot Noir, we toast not just to 2024 but to the exciting possibilities of 2025—new vintages, new memories, and continued growth for Vine Wrangler Wine.

For those looking to bring a bit of the vineyard into their holiday traditions, our 2022 Pinot Noir is now available for purchase. Perfect for gifting or sharing at your own celebrations, this wine embodies the spirit of the season. Visit our online store here.

From our family to yours, we wish you a holiday season filled with warmth, love, and great wine. Cheers to the moments that matter and the traditions yet to be made!
