Dear Friends of Smith Story Wine Cellars,
Oh what a year! We are sorry to inform you that our Summer Open House this Saturday is postponed and our tasting room will be closed through next Wednesday. During routine blood work, Ali received a Covid positive test result. We are now awaiting 2 more results, certain it was a false positive, the timing could not be worse!
Since day one back in 2014 we promised to share our authentic story, not only as a husband wife team but as entrepreneurs leading a brand new winery. Bumps in the road along the way have happened, we’re racking this one up as another and know it’ll be behind us quickly. Oh yes, we’re frankly sick of the bumps!

NICE SCORE!
Virginie Boone, Contributing Editor for Wine Enthusiast gave an outstanding 92pts. for our 2019 Sauvignon Blanc. “Made from a majority of high-elevation Sonoma Mountain grown grapes, with 30% Knights Valley, this lovely white wine offers bright tones of wet stone, orange peel and Meyer lemon. It’s crisp and supple on the palate, with enviable tension and grace”. Well, that sounds exactly like Ali’s favorite child indeed, another home run for our beloved Sauvignon Blanc.
Thank you all so much for allowing us to do what we love so much. Smith Story Wine Cellars continues to thrive due to your support.
Peace and Love,
Eric & Ali
