This week on Conversation with Jason Haas, accomplished wine and tourism professional Stacie Jacob! Stacie is highly awarded, served on many boards, owns Solterra Strategies, and heads tourism efforts through Travel Paso. See you on Wednesday!

I can't even imagine what it must be like running a winery with 17 generations of ancestors looking over your shoulder.

I feel like if you were to draw the family tree of sommeliers and wine educators in America, the biggest branch would lead back to Kevin. I am so excited to have him join me this week and hear the stories he has to tell. Wednesday, noon Pacific, on the Tablas Creek feed.

As we pass the middle of January, we’re nearly 8” of rain behind where we’d expect to be at this time of year. And yet, if you look at the landscape, it doesn’t seem like a dry winter. In our newest blog, Jason dives into the 2024-25 winter so far. tablascreek.typepad.com/tablas/2025/01…

Proprietor Jason Haas explains why we choose to run hair sheep in our vineyard instead of the wool sheep we commonly think of.

Tablas Creek’s Winter/Spring road tour is just getting started! We'll be in Sacramento tonight with plenty more stops coming up. Here’s what we have on the books so far.

Proprietor Jason Haas and Winemaker Neil Collins introduced you to our 2022 En Gobelet during our Fall 2024 VINsider live pickup part last year. It is our featured wine of February! Check it out on our website: tablascreek.com/wines/2022_en_…

I can’t wait! Brian is one of the people I look to as an example of how to consistently do the right thing, in business, in winemaking, and in our community. I hope you can join us.

In this #tablasontour series, we keep you updated on the winemaker dinners, tastings, and festivals we will participate in. Here’s what we have on the books so far.

I’ve been reading some hot takes that proposed 200% tariffs on European wines would be good for California wineries. I think that's dangerously wrong. We all rely on the federally mandated distribution system that tariffs at this level would devastate. tablascreek.typepad.com/tablas/2025/03…

In a new blog, our Jason Haas looks at the idea that 200% tariffs on European wines would benefit domestic wineries and concludes that's dangerously wrong. This 🧵 has the highlights. For the full story, see the blog. 1/ tablascreek.typepad.com/tablas/2025/03…

If you're looking for an update on the state of play and the impacts of tariffs on wine, I hope you'll join me for my Tablas Creek IG Live conversation tomorrow at noon Pacific. My guest is Harmon Skurnik, President of Skurnik Wines and a Director at the US Wine Trade Alliance.

These are some favorite photos from Jason Haas’s new wildflower blog, including lupine, poppies, vetch, mustard, phacelia, and even the daikon radishes we plant as soil aerators. If you’re coming to visit in the next month or so, you’re in for a treat. tablascreek.typepad.com/tablas/2025/04…

We’re heading back to the Rhone May 3-10, 2026! Proprietor Jason Haas will host an 8-day cruise from Arles to Lyon aboard the lovely 80-cabin Uniworld S.S. Catherine. Included is a visit to the amazing new winery at Famille Perrin! For details visit foodandwinetrails.com/cruises/tablas…

Where are the sheep now that the vineyard’s growing? Out in the woods, living their best lives. Jason Haas takes you into the forest to show how our flock helps restore oak woodlands, clear underbrush, reduce wildfire risk, and fertilize the soil.
