I hope everyone is having a great summer. Peggy and I had a fantastic trip to Spain and France celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. In addition to celebrating how lucky I am, I came home with fresh inspiration and a few exciting ideas for future wines. I think you're going to love what's to come.

This release is special because it marks the 25th vintage of Tre Fanciulli, our flagship wine named for our sons, Jack, Tommy and Joe. The boys were 11, 7 and 3 when we made the first vintage of Tre in 1999. I still remember the three of them foot-stomping grapes together in our driveway – I can't believe it has been 25 years.

One of the things Peggy and I are most proud of at JM Cellars is the team we have built over the last twenty-eight years. There is not much in this world that is more important to us than our members and guests, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have a team we trust to care for you every day.

Looking ahead, 2026 is shaping up to be another promising vintage, but with harvest just around the corner, we know Mother Nature always has a few surprises up her sleeve. I encourage you to visit us during harvest to experience one of the most exciting times of the year at the winery. Taste a few fermenting wines, soak in the energy of the cellar, and maybe even help us foot stomp a few grapes.

Thank you, as always, for your friendship, your support, and for being such an important part of the JM family.

Cheers,
