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

Hearthwood Coffee Roasters is back at Suveg Cellars. Our first event, pairing Nebbiolo with coffee was a real hit, and this coming Sunday the 10th of February, Kevin of Hearthwood will be previewing some of his new roasts that will surely blow you away. Kevin makes some of our favorite coffees around, including Guatemalan, Kenyan, Columbian, and Ethiopian, each with their distinct flavor profiles and accents.

His new coffee, Columbian Natural Fermented, is a very rare coffee to see on the market and even more difficult to produce. Natural fermentation needs very specific conditions to thrive, including perfect humidity in an indoor facility. This naturally fermented Columbian is one of the most complex coffees we’ve had to date, with crisp red apple and even accents of red wine!

Kevin will be doing pour overs all afternoon at the California Street Tasting Room this Sunday, February 10th from 12-6 pm. Come taste this one of a kind coffee while Kevin still has it in stock!

We’re not just excited, but proud to announce the release of our first Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, 2015 High Maintenance, on Sunday, January 27th.

High Maintenance is far and away the best Cabernet that we have produced at Suveg Cellars. It’s a highly structured and beautifully complex wine offering pronounced tannin and displaying aromatic notes of tart cherries, blackberries, toasted vanilla and coconut chased by hints of black pepper, cocoa, and cinnamon baking spices. Aged in a combination of medium toast French and Neutral Hungarian oak barrels, this wine certainly merits Reserve distinction displaying elegant depth and long aging potential.

And make sure to ask us how the wine got its name when you see us in the tasting room.

This event will be held at our California Street Tasting Room located at 12132 California Street, Yucaipa CA. 92399.
