We're excited to be bringing back our Deductive Wine Tasting Course by popular demand! Tuesday, June 25th from 6 pm - 9 pm at our Downtown Tasting Room, join Winemaker and Sommelier Craig Suveg for an introduction to the world of deductive wine tasting.

The class will include: 

This intensive 3-hour workshop provides the student with the opportunity to hone their analytical blind wine tasting skills through a series of group tastings and lectures.

Students will be presented with 6 wines; 3 white and 3 red and will learn to use proper wine tasting techniques in order to deductively extract logical conclusions based on the evidence presented in the glass.

This workshop promotes student confidence in analyzing wine by using the Deductive Tasting Method designed by the Court of Master Sommeliers. By identifying each wine tasted using a Tasting Grid format, the student will consider the color, fruit characteristics, non-fruit characteristics, structure and finally offer a conclusion concerning the varietal, region, and vintage of each wine presented.

This workshop also increases the students understanding of the relationship between theory and tasting as well as calibrating and improving the student's tasting technique, experience and tasting vocabulary.

The class takes place on Tuesday, June 25th from 6 pm - 9 pm at our Downtown Tasting Room.

Tickets to the event are $40 per person.

Tickets will be going up $10 a piece on 6/19, so make sure to take advantage of this early bird special.

Cheers to another successful deductive wine tasting course! See you there!

Hard to believe it, but Suveg Cellars now has 100 wine barrels under management. 

Craig Suveg started in 2010 with just 3 barrels, a production of less than 100 cases. 9 years and thousands of bottles of wine later, placing our 100th barrel in the California Street Barrel Room is almost surreal. It’s a testament to the growth of Suveg Cellars, and a reminder that resilience and perseverance in the pursuit of something greater brings with it real results.

On Sunday June 23rd, join us for some cake and afternoon tours of the processing facility/barrel room at California Street, where Craig will go into detail about what’s in store for our Uptown Location. 

• The event will be held at 12132 California Street, Yucaipa CA, 92399.

Our 2016 Dolcetto, Lacking Diplomacy, will be released to the public on Sunday, May 19th!

Dolcetto, like Barbera, is a red quaffing wine of the Northern Italians in Piedmont. Most Dolcetto is stainless steel aged and taken to market quickly. But our Dolcetto spent over 2 years in a combination of French and Hungarian oak barrels to tame its massive tannins. With concentrated flavors of ripe plum, bitter chocolate, almond, and tarragon this wine will go with almost any food you pair it with thanks to its high acidity.

Lacking Diplomacy refers to the strong tannins of our Dolcetto, which we have taken the time to smooth over with extra barrel aging. Even with additional barrel time,  the wine is still big, bold, and has many years to go before it becomes studied and diplomatic. 

Festivities will be all day Sunday, May 19th starting at 12:00pm at our DOWNTOWN LOCATION

The address is 12132 California Street, Yucaipa CA 92399
