It’s wine time!

It’s finally wine time here at 12EC! Finally, that is, for our friends, family and other fans and followers who we’ve connected with since this adventure began first in Santa Rosa six years (!) ago in our backyard and garage on Humboldt Street and here in Lockwood three years (!) ago in October 2018 on our ten acre ranch with five acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and a barn turned winery. We’ve been tasting and testing and learning and growing all along but now, with the launch of our brand spanking new website that took all summer to make, we’re ready to share our very first pro vintage with the world!

Start by exploring the website where you’ll learn the story behind our 12EC wine adventure and about the delicious 2019 wines we produced and now offer. Then, of course, we hope you’ll get this party started by purchasing a bottle or two or three of our “Emilio,” “Philomena,” and “Josephine,” each a Cabernet Sauvignon with a unique personality. We offer 10% discount on cases, just in case you want to stock up! Click “Wines” in the menu above!

Till late September or October, we’ll be offering only UPS 2 Day and Next Day Air to protect your wine from excessive heat during shipping. We’ll offer UPS Ground and 3 Day shipping once things cool down. Shipping prices vary state by state and season by season but you’ll always see the cost at checkout. Whenever you buy our wine, we’ll do our best to make sure the experience is easy and issue-free. Please never hesitate to reach out to us!

We’d like to invite you to sign up for our very special 12EC Founders Wine Club. 12EC Founders Wine Club members will receive three bottles of our hand crafted wines four times a year – October, December, March and May – for a total of twelve bottles. That’s a bottle of 12EC wine to enjoy each month, arriving when we’re sure the weather is wine shipping friendly! Join the club and we’ll email you a month in advance to let you know which wines we’ve selected for you. You will always be allowed to customize the wine selections for each shipment and you’ll receive a 10% “insiders” discount on all the wine you buy. You may opt out of membership at any time. We’re limiting club membership to twenty-five, so Founding Members will always get lots of special treatment. We want you to feel part of this magical adventure!

Our first 12EC Founders Wine Club release will ship in early October. We’ll announce the release date soon. Be sure to sign up by then to be included, then watch for your wines to ship soon after. Sign up by clicking “Club” in the menu above!

Our 2020 wines are aging gracefully, patiently waiting to take their bows in early 2022 and our 2021 harvest is tantalizingly just around the corner. Expect lots more 12EC wine to come!

And we’re here and love visitors so if you find yourself on the Central Coast, stop by for a taste and take some 12EC wine home with you!

So what are you waiting for? Buy some wine!

Cheers! Vinnie & Steve, September 6, 2021
