July 2026
Happy July 4th and our 250th Anniversary, everyone!!! Incredible, and yet we are so young as a country compared to the rest of the world. Still.... it does feel meaningful.
It's a very exciting time in the US as we co-host the World Cup, celebrate the 4th of July and here in Carmel prepare for Car Week! Summer is always busy, but Summer 2026 feels very "big". For Silvestri Vineyards we recently celebrated our 25th anniversary of our first planting. Whoa!! Crazy! Our children all grew up with the vineyard as part of our family life and this weekend we hosted our son, James, and his family out there, playing soccer and riding the Honda through the vines and eating barbecue after a day of Carmel Valley life.
We have now begun to look forward to the final stages of fruit maturation, and we hope we get some heat to help that process along. We wish you all a wonderful summer full of warmth and family love.
See you in the tasting room or on our walks around town.
Happy Summer!!
Sandra

From The Winemaker
Hey all, happy belated 4th of July and 250 years, amazing. Reflecting on the birth and now 250 years of existence of our great country, I have come to a great epiphany, there has always been differing opinions, very emotional ones, on how to live this life and run the business of this great country and more importantly ourselves as a nation. I, obviously, will not delve deeper in to that conversation but it can sidebar into how do we, as a people, live our lives and deal with fads, new opinions, etc. Specifically, I would like to go with fads. Despite research into the great 'Blue Zones' of the world indicating wine, and the sharing of it with others as being a great benefit to the overall longevity and happiness in our lives, we are in a time, or fad, where people are completely abstaining for a wide variety of reasons. The one that has been irking me is the no calorie, gotta look like Fabio or Twiggy group (of course my generation and older will get that reference, the youngers please use the interwebs to look it up)!! I understand the appeal, but what I have found is that this group spends more time taking selfies in the mirror than anything else, lol. Life is short, they will find this out, and as we get older, we learn to understand that tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone, so enjoy life and the things that bring happiness to it. Like a lot of people, I too will try and lose a few. The other day I started an anchovy on toast morning routine. Rafael Nadal, famous tennis player does it and the article I read said he has never felt better, so why not, I will try that. Lasted a couple days and then in being mindful that life is short I had a pint of Mint Chip ice cream for dinner, which was waaaaaayyyy more delicious and satisfying. A long time ago I read a great quote, which I still love today, it was "everything in moderation, including moderation!" Such a great way to live. Anyway, enjoy your wine, friends, and Mint Chip ice cream, this should end with the great quote from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but I can't remember it, better take some ginkgo. Cheers everyone and have a great summer.

From The Tasting Room:
July is booming in Carmel with happy tourists and frequent visitors taking in everything the town has to offer. With our tasting room being one of the best stops in the town, it is a must that you stop by to sample a flight of wine.
We are happy to release a tasty favorite, the 2023 Tre Bambine, Chardonnay. Tre Bambine, meaning the three babies, is dedicated to Alan and Sandra's three lovely granddaughters. This new vintage is lightly oaked with notes of melon and citrus balanced with light minerality. It is a wonderful taste of summer and should be enjoyed as often as the sun shines.
We are pleased to host you all before the summer ends so make your way over anytime!
