One of our fearless leaders, Karen Suveg, will be completing another solar lap on Sunday, September 29th! Karen, Craig's better half, has been a driving force in the success of Suveg Cellars for years, and on Sunday we'll celebrate her birthday with cake, and the re-release of Problem Child!

We could think of no better wine to represent Karen Suveg than our 2014 Problem Child, which took home two bronze medals at international competitions. This blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied wine displays nice structure with dark red cherry fruit, wild blackberry, cranberry and fresh forest floor earthiness balanced by good acidity. Limit 2 bottles per person.

If you're a Wine Club Member and haven't picked up a 3rd Quarter wine shipment, Karen's birthday extravaganza will be your last chance to pick up before the quarter is up, and you're only chance to wish Karen a Happy Birthday this year!

Throughout the years, many have asked us to make a Malbec. Next Sunday, the wait will be over, as we release our first and certainly not last rendition of Malbec, Capital Requirements.

Our 2016 Malbec displays an intense dark color and light tannins which add some mid-palate weight to this medium-bodied wine. 30 months of aging in neutral French oak and neutral Hungarian oak barrels add to its complexity. The polished palate conveys harmonious notes of freshly picked blackberries, bing cherries, ripe plum, salted caramel, Madagascar vanilla and chocolate underscored by fresh-cut eucalyptus wood, tobacco and violets.

The name Capital Requirements stems from the fact that Malbec grapes in California are EXPENSIVE thanks to the lack of supply, another reason that we are encouraging plantings of this grape that thrives in higher elevations in the Yucaipa Valley.

Our Malbec will be on 6/22, and will be the last release prior to the end of the quarter. If you still have a pickup to complete before quarter's end this is a perfect time!

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.

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. 

• The event will take place from 12pm-8pm on Sunday, June 23rd.

Additionally, the Yucaipa Valley Wine Alliance will be signing their historic partnership with the City of Yucaipa at 2pm this Father’s Day. This partnership will be the foundation for our coordinated efforts with the City of Yucaipa to create a wine industry in the Yucaipa Valley, efforts that will likely take decades of cooperation to come to fruition.
