Presenting . . .✨ACME x SCARECROW ✨ a celebration of friendship and business 21 years in the making!

2003 was a momentous year. It was the year that Karen opened ACME’s doors and the year that Brett Lopez and Mimi DeBlasio launched their soon-to-be iconic brand, Scarecrow. Friends from the start, our businesses have grown in ways that we could have never predicted. Now 21 years from the starting line, we are ready to celebrate our tenure in style!

In honor of our deep friendship, we are thrilled to share a micro-production line of 24k gold Scarecrow medallion and cufflinks pieces, hand-stamped with ACME’s A on the back of each.

ALSO! You know we have to throw a little party 🥳. These one-of-a-kind pieces will be on display at our show room on August 1st from 4-6 pm. The Krug will be cold and we’ll be sharing the 2003 Scarecrow Cabernet with those in attendance. An RSVP is required to attend, so let us ladies know if you’re coming to add to your jewelry collection and sip some cult Cabernet in style!

ACME is ✨TWENTY-ONE✨ years old today! Tequila shots for everyone!!!!

Kidding ☺️. Let’s skip the gnarly hang over and instead celebrate our incredible leader and the very special woman who built this business. For over two decades, Karen’s tenacity, passion, and warmth have drawn winemakers and collectors into the ACME fold. The business is a success because Karen is the real deal. She loves the people, she loves the wines, and she loves this valley. It’s a simple recipe that few can get *just* right. Congratulations ! Our industry is so much more vibrant with you in it ☀️ 🤩🥳

We have reviewed the proverbial comment jar and have heard your pleas! Due to popular demand, we are thrilled to introduce UNCAGED ~ ACME’s guide to the great under the radar producers of Champagne. 🍾

We spend our working hours keeping our thumb on the pulse of all things Napa Valley, but when we leave our desks for our dinner tables, it’s always Champagne in our glass. No dis to Cabernet, but after a full day of red wine, nothing refreshes the palate like a crisp, textured glass of Champagne.

Whether UNCAGED is the club that brings you into the ACME fold for the first time, or you are a longtime member looking to add some fizz to your shipments, we want to drink with YOU!

We were OOO and soaking up the sunshine at Adamvs Winery on Howell Mountain this morning! Their biodynamic vineyards are something out of a picture book, the wines are crafted with such thoughtful intention, and their resident donkeys Butternut and McGee take the hospitality to another level. What a blessing this community is!!!

Wine #8 on ACME’s Top 25 List is the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon from and ! If you’ve enjoyed previous vintages of this wine, you NEED a fresh introduction to the brand via this vintage because, for the first time ever, Kyle was able to secure fruit from the esteemed Las Posadas vineyard on Howell Mountain. 👀

100% Cabernet Sauvignon defined by inky black fruit, eucalyptus, graphite, licorice, and leather. The tannins and structure are formidable, yet elegantly balanced by a lush, opulent texture. Just 11 bottles remain of this beast before the vintage is sold out for good. First come, first served!

Wine #7 on ACME’s Top 25 List is the Sunshower Red Blend from ! Made by quite possibly the most charming duo in Napa, Alli and Bertus Van Zyl, this wine is an experiment gone right.

68% Mourvèdre, 26% Syrah, 3% Grenache, and 3% Cinsault make up this delectable blend. 100% of the clusters were kept while and were macerated with dry ice in stainless steel tanks for seven days. What resulted is a lovely study in the traditional carbonic flavor profile with aromatics of hard raspberry candies and baking spices. On the palate, the complexity continues with black tea leaves, cracked pepper, and perfectly ripe cherries. This DEBUT wine was our go-to this summer, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this talented duo!

No, this is not a Monet painting, it’s ! Just off of the highway yet an oasis of breathtaking gardens, cellar-worthy wines, and warm hospitality. Thank you for the lovely afternoon , Don’t forget to call us when the ducklings hatch 🐣.
