Last week we shared the journey of how our hospitality experience has evolved since the brand’s inception, and posed a simple question: Why visit? The answer has always been about the connection - to the place and people that ultimately shape the wines. While we love welcoming you to Napa Valley, we equally love knowing that the Hourglass experience continues far from our home every time a bottle is opened around your table, shared with family and friends. Since acquiring Blueline Estate in 2006, we’ve worked vintage by vintage to unlock the full potential of this remarkable site. Each wine offers a different expression of Blueline, but together they tell the complete story of the estate; its power, depth, energy and refinement. Whether experienced with us at the Estate or opened at home, we hope the 2024 Blueline wines bring a little piece of Hourglass to your table. Please note the release will be closing tomorrow Wednesday, September 23rd. videography: @conorhagen

When guests first started inquiring about visiting the Blueline Estate, Carolyn and Jeff wondered why..? Why visit? We had no fancy hospitality quarters, no tasting room, and no staff, but we indulged those first requests. The “tour” consisted of dodging the forklift, stepping over hoses, and tasting on a barrel head with the production crew as they went about their day. This spartan modern aesthetic fit our architect’s proclamation that he would design an anti-Napa winery for us. This immediately appealed to our punk, DIY sensibilities. Unwittingly, this early aesthetic conditioned our hospitality philosophy: strip away the unnecessary pomp and pretense and put our customers in the center of what we do. Our wines are a reflection of who crafts them and the place that they are from. It’s all symbiotic; the fewer degrees of separation, the more intimate the experience and ultimately the deeper the relationship and connection.   Over the years we’ve added a few design refinements, but the ethos remains the same: be passionate, be creative, stay real and make it all accessible!    As we embark on our 29th harvest, the winery is buzzing at the front end of what is shaping up to be another in a series of killer vintages. If you have never visited, you must! If you have been many times, we guarantee it will never be the same when you return. Harvest is a particularly magic moment, and we encourage you to experience it. If you can’t make it this year, just a quick heads up that we will be releasing the epic 2024 Blueline Estate 36, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc today, Tuesday September 14th, at 10:00AM PST.

This year marks a decade with Hourglass for Ian Fenwick, now Vice President and Partner, who has spent those ten years welcoming hundreds of Hourglass fans — new and returning — into our cave for tastings, sharing the HG story and wines. Ian’s journey started far from the vineyard; he grew up in England, before finding a new home in Napa Valley, where he now lives with his wife, Brooke, and their two young children, Charlie and Lennon. Swipe through for a deeper dive into Ian’s story, and stay tuned for more of the HG family in our campaign, The Team. Happy 10 years Ian!

Vintage and Vinyl 2026 at Hourglass and what a day. Massive thanks to the Hourglass crew for putting this on the right way. Producers I’ve chased for years pouring side by side, records spinning, Calistoga sun, more rare bottles than I could count, and the most generous people in Napa sharing everything. This is the dream. New friends, old friends, real conversations, unreal wine. See you next year.
