The Oxlee Graham Wines Spring 2026 Newsletter

Spring didn’t tiptoe in this year—it arrived all at once. A stretch of warm, sun-filled days has the vineyard buzzing, and the vines are waking up faster than we’ve seen in recent seasons. Bud break is already underway, with tender green shoots pushing forward in that quiet but determined way they do—full of promise for the season ahead.

Now that those buds are out, we’ve got one eye on the sky. A little rain can be a gift, but this time of year it keeps us on our toes. Mother Nature always has her say, and we’re right there with her—watching, adapting, and hoping for a smooth path toward a beautiful fruit set.

And as the vineyard comes to life, so does the cellar—our new releases are officially live today. We’re thrilled to share new vintages of some old favorites, each one ready to tell its next chapter and find its way into your glass this season.

Come Sip the New Releases with us at our Spring Party...

Join us this Sunday at the winery as we celebrate the season with our Spring Release Party. We’ll be pouring our newest releases alongside thoughtfully paired bites designed to highlight each wine, plus a beautiful grazing board and a selection of fun, decadent desserts.
‍ ‍
Everything will be prepared especially for you by the talented Rustik Chef, Brittany Rice—making this the perfect afternoon to sip, savor, and welcome spring together.

We can’t wait to raise a glass with you!

Date: April 19th, 2026 from 12-3pm.
Location: The Winery, 3360 Coffey Ln, Suite E, Santa Rosa, CA 95403

Since Harvest, We’ve Been Busy (In the Best Way)...

We just wrapped up a big bottling in preparation for this release, including the first of our 2025 whites, and officially closed out the 2024 vintage by getting the Petit Verdot into bottle. Bottling always brings a flurry of preparation and planning—final blending decisions, lots of tasting, and making sure each wine is exactly where we want it before it makes its way into bottle and eventually into your glass.

Behind the scenes, we’ve also been hard at work on a brand new, elevated website for you to enjoy. It’s been a thoughtful process focused on creating a smoother, more enjoyable shopping experience, while also giving each part of the brand room to shine. You’ll find dedicated space for all things Boxlee Graham, along with the stories of the incredible women who grace our labels. We’ve woven in everything else you might need too—from where to find our wines out in the wild, to upcoming events, and the tasting experiences we’re excited to share with you at the winery. Stay tuned as we plan to launch this new site in late May - we're very excited.

Spring always brings exciting Events...

In addition to our upcoming Spring Release Party this Sunday, we have a lineup of events that we’re so excited to share with you. From pouring in San Jose to local gatherings around Sonoma County and a special stop in Half Moon Bay, we’re looking forward to getting out there and connecting with you. Come by to taste the new releases alongside some old favorites—we’d love to share them with you in person. Be sure to check our website for the latest updates, as we’re always adding new events to the calendar.

A Little Buzz We’re Grateful For...

In addition to the incredible honor of recently being named one of seven 2025 Hot Brands in WineBusiness Monthly, we’ve also been feeling the love from the American Fine Wine Competition: The Invitational. The 2023 Joan’s Tanuda Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir was awarded a Double Gold and 96 points, and the 2023 Ana’s Gali Vineyard Pinot Noir followed with a Double Gold and 93 points. We’re beyond thrilled.

What’s next...

We’re so excited to have wrapped up all of our club packing, and shipments are officially on their way to those receiving them across the country. Our delivery and pickup orders are also packed and ready—whether you’re grabbing them at our Spring Release Party, having them delivered to your front door, or stopping by the winery to pick them up.

As we look ahead, we’ll continue our preparations for the upcoming harvest season while also turning our attention to getting our sister brand, Boxlee Graham, ready for packaging and release. Keep an eye out for a release email in mid May—we can’t wait to share this new vintage with you. It’s always a favorite and tends to fly out the door faster than we can keep it in stock.

We can’t wait to see you all out there at upcoming events or at the tasting room in the days to come.

Your continued support means the world.

Cheers,

Jennie
