How we score

The editorial take

Lumberyard Cellars runs a wine-first program built around a guided tasting experience and a portfolio that spans red, white, rosé, sparkling, and dessert wines. Bottles range from $20.00 to $60.00 per 750ml, with named selections like a 2020 Mendocino County Malbec, a 2022 Dry Creek Cabernet Sauvignon, and a Blanc de Blanc Sparkling. A quarterly wine club ships in March, June, September, and December, and members get 20% off purchases plus complimentary tastings for up to four guests. Charcuterie boards accompany the tastings.

What should I order?: Start with the 2020 Mendocino County Malbec or the 2022 Dry Creek Cabernet Sauvignon if you want a red, or the Blanc de Blanc Sparkling for something brighter. The 2023 California Chardonnay and 2024 Lake County Sauvignon Blanc are the white options at $30.00 per 750ml. For a guided tasting, the tasting room experience is the way to compare across the portfolio.
Who will enjoy this place?: Anyone who wants a structured tasting rather than a quick pour, and wine drinkers who value a range that covers red, white, rosé, sparkling, and dessert. The wine club suits people who want quarterly shipments and member perks. It also works for small groups, since members can bring up to four guests for complimentary tastings.
When should I go?: A guided tasting is the main draw, and the wine club's quarterly shipment schedule runs in March, June, September, and December. Charcuterie boards make it an easy stop for a light pairing session. Pair a tasting with a club pickup if you are a member.
What should I expect to spend?: Bottle prices run from $20.00 to $60.00 per 750ml. Named examples include the 2023 California Chardonnay and 2024 Lake County Sauvignon Blanc at $30.00, the Blanc de Blanc Sparkling at $35.00, the 2020 Mendocino County Malbec at $50.00, and the 2022 Dry Creek Cabernet Sauvignon at $55.00. The 2022 Amador County Sugar Pine Dessert Wine is $60.00. Wine club members receive 20% off wine purchases.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: A guided tasting format paired with a portfolio that runs from sparkling and white through red, rosé, and dessert. The quarterly wine club, with shipments in March, June, September, and December and a 20% member discount, adds a structured way to keep drinking across the range. Charcuterie boards are available alongside tastings.
