SANDLANDS VINEYARDS
WINTER 2024 RELEASE
Welcome to the first release of the 2022 Sandlands wines. The last year has been a busy one here at Sandlands Headquarters; it has also been a dream come true (professionally) for me. In the last year, I have had the privilege of hosting Jancis Robinson and Antonio Galloni in my Lodi home to taste the Sandlands wines and visit the amazing historic vineyards that I get to work with. In November, I was invited to return to South Africa 12 years after having the privilege of working and learning there, to present Sandlands wines at the Swartland Gospel to 250 wine professionals and wine lovers. Twice last year, Eric Asimov included Sandlands wines in the New York Times, naming the Sandlands 2014 Sonoma Trousseau as one of his most memorable wines of the year. In May, Sandlands 2015 San Benito County Mataro was featured in the Apple TV series Drops of God. To cap it off, Raj Parr named the 2021 Sandlands 2021 Sandlands Lodi Red Table Wine one of his wines of the year for 2023. I do not write all of this to brag about these accomplishments but for two reasons: first, to report to the Sandlands Board of Directors (you) that we are still showing up and making our best wines to date, and second, to thank you, Team Sandlands, for believing in the wines. Truly without your support, the success of the project would not be possible.
Please share these wines with your friends and loved ones.
Best wishes for 2024,
Tegan Passalacqua
