Newsletter - October 2026 Bringing you the latest news from our vineyard and tasting room (with an occasional bite from Alan's musical efforts).
Welcome! We appreciate your patronage and hope to keep you up to date on the latest news from the vineyard and the tasting room (with an occasional bite from Alan's musical efforts).
From Sandra's Desk
October 2026 This newsletter may be a little late this month and it is ALL MY FAULT!! I will take the blame, but I have tons of excuses. First, the Silvestri Family has a new grandchild!! Saylor Lynn Silvestri was born September 22, 2026, and she is as beautiful as her name. Ashley and James and big brother Rowan are all doing well and enjoying the sleepless nights and lazy days as a family of four. Alex and I went to Salt Lake for the birth and a few days after and it is always one of my biggest treats to be present for the arrival of new family members as well as their older siblings. Welcome, Saylor!
In the vineyard, the harvest is coming to a close. In fact, I think today might be the last day of the harvest. It was a great year aside from the scare of a fire in the Big Sur area in the final month but we survived and cautiously but happily harvested a smaller than usual crop. The perils of agriculture in California …argh!
Alan and I have traveled only to London for the scoring of Avengers Doomsday in early September and he will continue to score remotely from CA in the next few weeks. It's an amazing film and we are excited for its December 18th release. The rest of the time we are locked in our house while he writes, and I move out of our Fern Canyon residence and into the vineyard house. The best news about this move is that we are able to spend a lot more time at the vineyard now which suits us just fine. It's our favorite time of year. And I am planning a wonderful holiday feast for our family.
The next two months are my favorite time of the year when I host my family here in Carmel. I know many of you have the same kind of plans. I hope you will bring us along in the form of Silvestri wines. We look forward to saluting these special times with all of you!
Have a wonderful October!!!
Salute!

From The Winemaker
Hey all, happy Fall!!! We have certainly reached our Central Coast fall. The last 2 nights at Silvestri Vineyards have been very cold, with frost on the winery roof yesterday and high 30's on the thermometer this am!!! A very short-lived coolness as the forecast for the rest of the week is mid to high 80's, love this time of year. So, after many tests and confirmation from the lab we use, NO smoke taint markers were found in almost all of our grapes so were able to do some harvesting and winemaking woohoo. This year's yields were very small, all across California, so it definitely wasn't as crazy as it normally is. We generally start harvest in late September and finish primary fermentations by mid to late November. A jam packed 2 months of running around. This year we started much earlier and we are looking to be done with the primary fermentations before November. Why is the vintage so early? The early bud break, small crop, and consistent warm weather were the main factors. That has been the case all over California from what I hear, I know a winemaker in the Russian River area that harvested in July!!!!!!The great benefit is the wine work will be done a month earlier than normal, which allows me to have a normal Thanksgiving without having to leave to do the necessary punch downs, a rarity in my 26 years of doing this and I am really excited to let the tryptophans do their thing, as I watch my waistline expand in real time hahaha. Anyway, thank you for the continued support!!

From The
Tasting Room:
October is such a wonderful time on the Monterey Peninsula! The mornings are crisp, and the days are nice and toasty. Silvestri has been busy out and about at many local events, and we've had a great time connecting with everyone. Thank you to all who stopped by to say “Hi” and show your support!
If you're ever looking to find Silvestri outside of the tasting room, you can catch us on the first Friday of every month at the Sand City Night Market, located at the Sand City Art Park.
We're thrilled to be immersed in our wonderful local community and truly appreciate all the support you continue to show us.
We hope to see you all soon!

September 2026 Ouch! What a scary month of fires. Living in this beautiful country has its challenges to be sure. We are in the final weeks of grape growing so needless to say this is a terrible time to be seeing fire for the vineyard. Of course, there are so many more things to be worried about when it comes to fires; mostly people's lives, homes, pets, the wild animals and the forest itself….I could go on and on. No matter how you feel about forest management and our beloved peninsula, we can all agree that fires are terrifying. Thank God we have the most amazing firefighters and first responders. I am deeply moved by the people who put their lives on the line for all of us. God Bless the Firefighters and First responders!!
This is an interesting time in the Silvestri Family also; lots of travel, moving around and waiting of our next grandchild. We have sold our home in the Highlands and will be living between downtown Carmel and the vineyard. Our next grandbaby is due mid September and Alan is finally going to London to score Doomsday! LOTS GOING ON!!!
Frank will share with you where we stand in the vineyard and Daniella will speak to the tasting room. We have enjoyed meeting some of you this summer. Thank you for your continued support in the tasting room and in our wine clubs. With the California wine industry taking a hit it is appreciated more than ever for your continued support. We love our wines and we are glad that so many of you seem to agree.
Take care of yourselves wherever you are and we will see you in town whenever we meet.
Until then STAY SAFE!
And…
Salute (of should I say Cheerio??? LOL)

From The Winemaker
Hey all, Happy September,
It is a very crazy year in the vineyard and with the turn to September it looks and feels like fall. We had a very warm last winter so all the trees and plants budded out about 4-5 weeks early and so as we look around it looks 4-5 weeks ahead of schedule, meaning, for example, I look at some canyons across from my house and the Big Leaf Maple trees that normally start changing color (yes we do get fall colors here lol) in October are already changing to those yellows and oranges we all love. Weird, but it's my favorite time of year so I love it. The elephant in the room is, of course, the Big Sur fires and its affect on this year's harvest. Let's just take a stroll back in time to learn what we have done in the past. In my 26 years of doing this I have had 3 big fire years before this year. The years were 2008, 2016, and the wonderful year of 2020, so many great times that year lol. Let's address one issue, only one of those years was the fire caused by lightning so calling them wildfires has been and will remain in my eyes a misnomer. The other 2 massive fires were caused by people and that has been a travesty. This year's fire, also no lightning strikes soooo. Anyway, enough soap boxing, I didn't work at Silvestri in 2008, I came on board in 2012, but that was a huge fire. I think it was either 130,000 or 160,000 acres, can't remember but that year the fire started in June and so the affect of the smoke taint wasn't there, and this became one of my favorite vintages of all time. In 2016, the fire started later, and had fewer smoke days, by my observation, than the 2008 fire so we decided to make everything. We sent out for lab reports and the numbers weren't bad. What we didn't account for was that smoke taint can either be present or bound up molecularly and as soon as we bottled it, the smoke taint expressed itself with a vengeance. Dang!!! Next go around was 2020, already a horrific year as you might recall but it was a bad fire and the one thing we did understand was that the taint comes out of the skins so we decided to just make the white wines and a bunch of Rosé (they don't fermentation on skins just ferment the already pressed juice). I thought it was the best course of action but selling a bunch of Rosé when you make big reds didn't work out so well. So that brings us to this year. The smoke hasn't been that bad so we will send off lab samples and see what we have, time and lab samples will tell...thanks as always for the continued support, it's greatly appreciated.
Frank
From The
Tasting Room:
We are starting off WARM this September. Carmel-by-the-Sea has been just beautiful everyday. The travelers from this summer are starting to dwindle down and the town will soon be back to a slower pace until the holidays. It is a perfect opportunity to make your way to the Silvestri Tasting room and sip with ease.
As the Wine Club release approaches, we're getting ready to introduce a couple of new wines to the tasting menu!
Our next release is coming up soon, so be sure to keep an eye on your inbox. All the details about the upcoming release will be shared in an email coming your way soon.

From Sandra's Desk
August 2026 Well…..Is everybody ready??? August comes but once a year and we all know what that means... CAR WEEK!! Some of us love the action and some of us run and hide. But we all live through it every year in one way or another. Alan and I tend to go between both camps, hanging out in town, going to the Sunday Concours D'Elegance but also hiding out in the vineyard when it gets too crazy. Our tasting room is the perfect place for you (and us) to pause and refresh while looking at the beautiful cars. And we hope you will stop in and try some of our great wines and our fabulous staff with us. It's a special time. Let's enjoy it!
After everyone leaves (the car folks, the tourists, the general buzz), the real work in the vineyard begins. Bottling comes first, followed by harvest. Frank and Marshall and everyone gets very busy at this time of year. I will follow along and keep sending updates.
I hope you all have a wonderful month and find your joy wherever you go. Life is challenges and joy. Let's all work to bring as much positive energy and thoughts to this big month.
Salute!
Sandra
From The Winemaker
Hey everyone, happy August!! Kids are back in school, Giants are stinking it up, and not only are we bottling soon but the fruit is right behind it. Normally we have more than a month break between bottling and harvest but this year, with a very early bud break and warm weather harvest is coming 4-5 weeks earlier than the norm. With an El Nino forecast maybe Earths great design knows we are going to have some early rains and we will need to have the fruit off earlier than normal, I like to believe it all has a plan and we are just here to adapt to the plan. The '25 Chardonnay and Pinots are tasting amazing and will be bottled in 2 weeks along with all the '24 Big Reds, super exciting times just busier earlier than expected.
Cheers to you all,
Frank

Welcome! We appreciate your patronage and hope to keep you up to date on the latest news from the vineyard and the tasting room (with an occasional bite from Alan's musical efforts).
From Sandra's Desk
August 2026 Well…..Is everybody ready??? August comes but once a year and we all know what that means... CAR WEEK!! Some of us love the action and some of us run and hide. But we all live through it every year in one way or another. Alan and I tend to go between both camps, hanging out in town, going to the Sunday Concours D'Elegance but also hiding out in the vineyard when it gets too crazy. Our tasting room is the perfect place for you (and us) to pause and refresh while looking at the beautiful cars. And we hope you will stop in and try some of our great wines and our fabulous staff with us. It's a special time. Let's enjoy it!
After everyone leaves (the car folks, the tourists, the general buzz), the real work in the vineyard begins. Bottling comes first, followed by harvest. Frank and Marshall and everyone gets very busy at this time of year. I will follow along and keep sending updates.
I hope you all have a wonderful month and find your joy wherever you go. Life is challenges and joy. Let's all work to bring as much positive energy and thoughts to this big month.
Salute!
Sandra
From The Winemaker
Hey everyone, happy August!! Kids are back in school, Giants are stinking it up, and not only are we bottling soon but the fruit is right behind it. Normally we have more than a month break between bottling and harvest but this year, with a very early bud break and warm weather harvest is coming 4-5 weeks earlier than the norm. With an El Nino forecast maybe Earths great design knows we are going to have some early rains and we will need to have the fruit off earlier than normal, I like to believe it all has a plan and we are just here to adapt to the plan. The '25 Chardonnay and Pinots are tasting amazing and will be bottled in 2 weeks along with all the '24 Big Reds, super exciting times just busier earlier than expected.
Cheers to you all,
Frank

Welcome! We appreciate your patronage and hope to keep you up to date on the latest news from the vineyard and the tasting room (with an occasional bite from Alan's musical efforts).
From Sandra's Desk
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!
