As many of you know, with my parents’ blessings, I started my own wine label, Lucas J. Cellars a few years ago, making mostly Pinot Noir. This is in addition to continuing my work at Meeker. Since I started in 2007, I’ve slowly expanded production and have begun to make wine from several new vineyards. Today I am excited to announce the start of my own wine club, and since I have had such great support from so many Tribe members, I wanted to offer you the first opportunity to join my club, with an extra discount! Here are the details:
- Two shipments per year, normally in May and October. This first shipment will be made now, and we will adjust each shipment to avoid hot weather.
- Two levels of membership: four bottles per shipment with a 20% discount on all the wine, or twelve bottles per shipment with a 25% discount on all wine purchases (plus in each instance your extra discount – see below!).
- As with the Tribe, shipping and tax are additional.
- The shipments will reflect my focus on Pinot Noir, which will generally make up at least 75% of the wines shipped.
- You can cancel at any time.
Full details on the Lucas J Cellars website.
Most importantly, as a thank you to the Tribe members who have helped me in the early stages of this project, I’m offering Tribe members the ability to join the Lucas J. Cellars Wine Club with a permanent 5% discount bonus if you join on or before July 31. In other words, a four bottle membership will be 25% off, and a twelve bottle membership will be 30% off, both for as long as you remain a member!
The first shipment is four bottles of excellent Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast and Russian River Valley, and is ready to leave the winery as soon as you sign up. One of the main goals with these wines is to deliver top-notch Pinot Noir at a very reasonable price: The wines in this shipment are all $29 a bottle before discount. The first shipment includes (twelve bottle members receive triple quantities):
– One bottle of 2009 Swan Clone Pinot Noir, Sangiacomo Vineyards, Roberts Road, Sonoma Coast
– One bottle of 2009 Clone 777 Pinot Noir, Sangiacomo Vineyards, Roberts Road, Sonoma Coast
– Two bottles of 2008 Pinot Noir, Jasper Family Vineyard, Russian River Valley
I continue to be proud and excited about the wines that we make at Meeker, but I am also thrilled to have another project with which I can pursue different varietals and blends with the same passion for quality and value.If you are interested, call or email Julia at the tasting room: (707) 431-2148 or julia@meekerwine.com. I hope you’ll join me on my new adventure!
Thank you again for your support,
Lucas Meeker
