Wine Club
Early Pickup Requests
We have added a new section to the "Modify Club" form, this form can be found on the home screen of every iPad in the tasting room! The new section should be used in the event a wine club member is picking up their release wines prior to the club release date! When you open the form you will see an option named "Early Pick-up" once you click this option the form will ask for member name, member email address & phone number. You all will just need to complete one question which asks for info regarding modifications to the wine selections & pick up date! Please make sure all fields listed are completed! Please let me know if you have any questions!!
We have TWO spots available in the Estate Club!
Who would be interested in the Estate Club you ask, take a peek below for some helpful hints!
- A guest (and or existing Tower Cru member) is asking about our reserve or library wines ( these wines are often released to Estate Club members first or in some cases reserved exclusively for them like our 2021 Petit Verdot Reserve or Wente Chardonnay)
- Members/guest who purchase a case/often purchases additional bottles
- Members/guests who frequent STW events and or speciality tastings
- Frequent visitors
- Wine collectors/connoisseurs
What additional benefits do our Estate Club members have?
- 15% discount versus the 10% offered to other club members
- The membership is capped which has created a lovely intimate community within STW!
- Sunset Saturday- One Saturday per month the winery is open until 930pm just for Estate Club members & their guests! We often offer fun library wines and light bites during these evenings
- $50 reservation credits with each club release (can be applied to SOMMinars, dinners, tours or any events which requires a reservation)
- Exclusive access to STW events- event emails are sent to Estate Club members 1st!

As always, wines in the Library are available to sell in the Tasting Rooms (the exception being 2021 Kristi Chardonnay, please don't sell this wine!).
New Winemaker
Some of you may have heard we have brought on the talented James Phillips as our Head Winemaker. Previously James worked for Burgundy Style Consulting as well as running a consulting business of his own, giving him a well rounded portfolio of winemaking experience (including experience with sparkling!). Most recently, James was the winemaker for Madrigal Family Winery in Calistoga, California. We are thrilled to have him joining the team, we know his attention to detail and impressive experience will lead to many years of beautiful vintages!
