Got to see my friend Armen today and spend some really enjoyable time with the Hagopian family. No joke, Armen is a fortress. If I didn’t know he’s a firefighter I’d think he’s Seal Team 6, the way he’s focused, level headed, determined and sound. Saying he’s inspirational is trite and cliché, so instead I’ll say, if this dude could bottle his own tenacity and sell it, he’d be a billionaire.

Armen told me he’s an open book and welcomes us sharing his updates and progress, which are equally impressive. He’s in a really hands-on rehabilitation center that specializes in spinal cord injuries, and is pushing himself to the limit in his PT. He’s had feeling in different parts of his legs over the last week which is amazing. Armen knows he will walk again, and I’ll be there to see it when the day comes.

If you want to send Armen a word of encouragement, you can leave a comment here for him to read. Thank you all for the love care and thought you’re sending to him and his family ❤️

Our “Wines For Armen” Fundraiser has wrapped and I’m so excited to share that we more than doubled our goal, raising just over $4,000 for our friend Armen Hagopian to assist in his rehabilitation and recovery. I had the honor and privilege of dropping the check off this morning at his home station with his shift crew ❤️ his Captain Manny and firefighters Erik and Keith, along with our buddy Raffy, president of Pasadena Firefighters. Meeting Armen’s Fire family, seeing how much love they have for him is a beautiful thing.

I am so thankful for all the accounts who shared this fundraiser and allowed us to spread the word throughout the community: and many more.

If you are a business and want to support Armen’s recovery through a fundraiser event, please reach out, I’d love to help. Even a small idea can lead to big things. Being able to help in times like these is by far THE MOST rewarding part of owning a business. I get out of it so much more than I give, and would love to help facilitate more.

Most importantly, thank you to each and every one of you who purchased “Wines For Armen” - it’s a big beautiful army of amazing people and I’m grateful for each and every one of you 🥂

IT’S. TIME. TO. RAISE. A. GLASS. TOGETHER. AGAIN. 🍷 **Well technically 7 half-glasses together**

Our first event series of the year is coming up in a few weeks! Come taste through the four corners of the Americas with us in our next series “The Seven Wonders of the New World” - from the jungles of Chile, the lakeside vineyards of New York, the rugged deserts of Eastern Washington, California’s highest elevation vineyards, and my favorite wines from my January trip to the coastal vineyards in Uruguay. We’ll be exploring seven hidden gem regions as far as 8,000 miles apart without ever crossing an ocean. If you think you know “American wine”, my dear, think again. There’s a whole lot more to explore.

How do I wrestle with post-fire helplessness? Your guess is as good as mine. My guess:

It’s been 68 days since the Eaton fire started, and through our fundraising we’ve been able to raise over $70,000 for the California Fire Foundation. That’s just about $1,000/day for . That’s 4 families a day were able to fund just a little bit of hope and relief for.

I know I should feel good about those numbers. And I do, in my head - I know objectively I’m doing what I can to help those who have also lost everything. But it’s not like I feel “great” about it, you know? I don’t feel relieved. I send an ACH payment, I see how much we’re giving and I don’t feel any different after. I’m used to hitting goals, checking boxes, and feeling good as I accomplish things - but the ache in my heart doesn’t lessen as I watch our donation grow. And I’m pretty sure we are going to hit my goal of raising $100,000, the finish line for our fundraiser. And I’m pretty sure when that happens, I won’t feel much better. There’s no washing your hands of this sort of thing. I know that money can’t replace a lost legacy or generations of history. You can’t buy a whole new life. Money only goes so far. It falls short, because everything falls short when you lose something you can’t replace.

I think this photo from my front yard a couple weeks ago sums up my thoughts on it all. No rebuild has begun, no debris has been cleared, but our surviving plants in our front yard are blooming like crazy. This js not a “focus on the positive!” metaphor. When I see this photo, I think “wow it’s crazy there are flowers blooming in the middle of this hell hole”. No flowers in the world could distract from the burn, and I don’t think Mother Earth or God or whoever you believe is watching, is trying to do that anyways. But there are really pretty Camélias and Daffodils in the middle of a toxic graveyard.

There’s not less devastation because of the work we are doing, but there is more good. And if you’re also spending time, energy, or money helping fire victims, remember that. That loss isn’t lessened by kindness, but kindness can still exist there, and that means something. So keep doing the work.

One of the silver linings of this crazy year is that I’ve been able to spend more time with and deepen friendships with awesome women in our community. All three of these ladies are, in a word, impressive. The way they’ve shown up for our community is remarkable, and they are three extra reasons I’m proud to live in the ‘Dena

Nikki High, owner of
Kaiy Smith, owner of and
Alex Fulcher , Civil Rights lawyer by day, who spent dozens of hours in January and February keeping the shop afloat with all our initiatives and fundraising, plus keeping me sane which is NO SMALL FEAT 😂

Make sure to tell your favorite female badasses you love them today!

Remember the free wine we gave our community members who lost their homes? We had over 600 2-bottle sets given to residents of our community who lost everything, and nothing makes me happier than seeing photos of those recipients enjoying our gift to them.

Let’s face it, the devastation is crazy, it’s still flooding my instagram feed and yours (as it should, as it will continue to do). But hopefully this 5 second reprieve in your scrolling adds a little lightness to your mind and heart. Wine is not essential, but moments of joy with the people you love, that’s everything, and I’m beyond grateful for being able to see these wine shop friends having a moment of joy together 🍷

Thank you to my friend for letting us share these photos ❤️

If you have similar photos enjoying our wine relief sets and feel comfortable with us sharing please send them to us via insta message!

Ken Martin said it best at breakfast: “there is no ‘Republican Natural Disaster’ or ‘Democratic Natural Disaster’. Disasters affect entire communities. Devastation doesn’t follow party lines. At our core we are people, in this together, and our goal should be to help each other out of the ashes. Period.

It was an honor to say the least to be across from Supervisor Hilda Solis, DNC Chair Ken Martin and the amazing Dolores Huerta this morning for a roundtable on Wildfire Recovery in Los Angeles. I was able to share my story and share the fundraising work we are doing with The California Fire Foundation in rebuilding our communities.

Once the news cameras turn off, and the headlines change focus, that’s where the real work rebuilding begins - and I’m very encouraged by Ken and Hilda’s dedication to our community in their ongoing fight for state and federal resources and relief. The rebuild is long and slow, and being reminded that we are being fought for is the best salve for a healing heart. Thank you to for hosting, and a big big thank you to my dear friend for inviting me to join. Proud to be shoulder to shoulder with our local firefighters, union leaders, and community organizations as we look to the future ❤️
