Summer 2022 Release Letter
June 2022
Dear Friends,
School’s out for summer… Schools out forever! Well, maybe not forever, but Timbre Summer school is in session. The subjects this year are varied from updates on the new winery in SLO 101, 3rd year Dancing Queen, and even orientation for new students! Also, don’t forget the partying so let’s get to it!
The new winery in SLO is coming along nicely. So far, we have started digging up the floor to add some drains, and a few finishes for the bathrooms and warehouse! It is said that winemaking is 50% cleaning, and 50% lifting heavy shit. This is 98% accurate (I guess we are also doing math), which is where the drains come in. We need them so we can clean! We hope to be done with the construction by sometime in July. Once it is and we have our official occupancy (hopefully in August???) we expect you to come with all your SLO friends and make the community there as strong as our home in AG!
Happy Pride month! The Dancing Queen release In May was a smash hit this year, raising money for the Gala Center in SLO which supports the LGBTQIA+ youth of the Central Coast. Additionally, Timbre Winery has been designated a Safe Space by Visit SLO Cal. A big part of the Timbre Winery mission is to support everyone in our community, and this is another way we get to do that! We are so proud of our team and were especially stoked that Dancing Queen visionary Gary Gates came all the way from Ireland to join in the festivities. We also discovered that Chiasa likey drag queens. I mean… who doesn’t? If you did come to our Dancing Queen release you heard the musical taste of our newest team member Joey Rodriguez. Joey comes to us from the restaurant business, has great taste in music, and is an amazing addition to our family!
Did I mention parties? In addition to this summer’s Tunes at Timbre and Game nights come and pick up your wine and party with us the weekend of June 25th/26th! This summer the releases are super tasty and a veritable what’s what of our most popular offerings. For summer chilling you have the 2017 Lead Vocals Chardonnay. The release also includes the 2019 Supergroup, 2015 Headliner, 2019 Hook Syrah, and the 2018 Rare Groove #5 Cab Sauv. This release truly has something for everyone, or if you are like us… lots of what we like all wrapped up in one package.
This summer we would love to have you at our tasting room in Arroyo Grande. Come in to pick up some of our new 2021 rosés or the 2021 Albariño. Please help us spread the word @TimbreWinery on Facebook and Instagram. We love you and appreciate you to the moon and back. Without you, there is no Timbre Winery. Thank you for being such an important part of our lives… Cheers!
