There are few challenges in life that cannot be overcome by espresso and sparkling wine. The sparkling is an imperfectly disgorged bottle of Pinot noir from the Santa Cruz Mountains that will be available in 2023. It is tasting beautifully right now. Espresso from @nespresso. #stevenkentmirassou

As the last few pages of this year‘s calendar flip over, I’d like to thank all Lineage Wine Collection supporters for their incredible generosity, friendship, and patronage this year.

The highest and best use of our hospitality energy is in sharing and in working to add just a little bit of joy and richness to people's lives. These last two years have certainly tested our mission and - given the multitude of Covid restrictions - our ability to consistently deliver, but it has also revealed to me that my amazing team will go many extra yards to try to ensure that each and every person who visits us feels well-taken care of.
On behalf of everyone at The Lineage Wine Collection, I’d like to wish you and your loved ones a safe and healthy holiday season, and we look forward to being able to share more with you in 2022. #stevenkentmirassou #thelineagewinecollection #hospitality

“I can measure the amount of titratable acid the

“I can measure the amount of titratable acid there is in a wine, the pH level, the amount of alcohol by volume, and a bunch of other things. What I can’t measure, though, is how these things make you feel, how all of these individual planks combine in your mouth and your mind and your heart to create your individual sense of the wholeness of the thing. To know the details of a thing can be revelatory, but the details rarely capture the essence of it. The esthetic side of life (the wine side of life) is about creating emotional connections, about intuition. To know something on the wine side is to suppose and to assume and to guess. Facts are for another view of things; a view of life that does not welcome the heart, for me, is a view that is incompatible with everything for which wine is a symbol.”

“For the wine lover, it is that place and time that defines a lifetime’s personal search for comity and beauty and for a wine that strums a revelatory sequence of notes that cracks open our hedonistic and thirsty heart.”

“Harvest is like a national holiday in this sens

“Harvest is like a national holiday in this sense. The clocks reset to our own special time zone and the more pedestrian concerns of the day get lost in the tumble of Cabernet tonnage. I love the fact that the grapes own the calendar from August to November. The grapes brook no argument, suffer no excuse; they quietly, and by their mere presence, persistently demand. They are nature’s perfect narcissists. There is something of the heroic in doing something, no matter how exhausting it might be because one must. Harvest is the only part of the business that does not resonate with an emotional timbre. Doing is all.”
