Forbes: Skip the Stuff with a Tablas Creek Membership

In a recent Forbes article titled "Skip The Stuff: The Best Wine And Spirits Experiences Worth Gifting," author Devin Parr highlights the value of gifting experiences over physical clutter.

Parr includes a Tablas Creek Wine Club Membership as a top recommendation for those seeking a gift that offers lasting value:

"A giftable Tablas Creek membership offers more than regular wine shipments—it provides ongoing access to exclusive releases, educational content and special events from one of Paso’s most iconic wineries. It’s a gift that unfolds gradually, appealing to curious, engaged wine drinkers."

The article notes that experiential gifts like a wine club membership provide a sense of promise and something to look forward to long after the holiday season has passed.

Super Vino Bros Highlights Tablas Creek as a Landmark Producer in California Wine

The wine blog Super Vino Bros recently featured Tablas Creek Vineyard in their "Producer Highlight" section, calling the estate one of the "defining names in American wine."

The article traces our origins back to the collaboration between the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel and importer Robert Haas, and recognizes our impact, calling our estate “a living library of these [Rhone] grapes, and the nursery they built on-site helped spread these plantings across the state.”

After meeting partner and general manager Jason Haas, the authors concluded with a clear recommendation:

Talking with him and his brother about the story of their family's project, and where American wine is headed, was a real highlight. If you come across their bottles in a shop, they're worth picking up. Tablas Creek is a serious operation.

Owen Bargreen: "It is my pleasure to share the brilliant wines of Paso Robles legend Tablas Creek"

We were excited to read Owen Bargreen's new reviews of six of our newest releases, which scored as high as 96 points for the new 2023 Esprit de Tablas. From his introduction:

It is my pleasure to share the brilliant wines of Paso Robles legend Tablas Creek. Founded by Jean-Pierre and François Perrin and Robert Haas on what was formerly an former alfalfa farm they struck gold planting vines on limestone soils in the Adelaida Hills. They saw immense potential to produce wines with stony minerality. From the beginning they focused on Rhône-style wines made organically. The first plantings took place in 1994 and the first Tablas Creek Vineyard wines produced in 1997. The winery has been an incredible success since that time, reaching worldwide acclaim particularly for their Rhone style red and white blends.
