The Love Story Uncorked

It all started with a promise of a delicious bottle of wine on a first date, and honestly, we've been chasing that grape ever since! That's us, Jeff and Jeanine, and if there's a vineyard anywhere in the world, chances are we've toasted to it. From spontaneous weekends sipping bold reds in California's sunshine to clinking crisp whites on the East Coast, and sharing timeless Champagne in France or spirited Tempranillo under Spanish skies – every pour has painted the backdrop to our wildest laughs and deepest connections.


But here's our little secret: the real magic rarely happens with the first glass, or even the second bottle. It's when the third is uncorked that life truly unfolds, filters disappear, and the best stories bubble up. Just like a beautifully blended red, we love sharing this passion with our lively family of five, cherished friends, and anyone ready to join our joyful sips. We live with open hearts, full glasses, and the firm belief that there are no strangers, only friends we haven't clinked with... yet!

The Vision

At 3rd Bottle, we believe the best moments don’t happen on the first pour—they happen when the room gets louder, smiles turn to laughter, and the third bottle is uncorked. 


3rd Bottle honors those unfiltered, joy-filled, real-life moments: the spontaneous kitchen dance parties, late-night porch talks, and the storytelling marathons that create lifelong memories.


We’re not just crafting wine—we’re bottling connections. Each varietal in the 3rd Bottle lineup is chosen not only for its quality, but also for the energy it inspires. Every bottle is a celebration of the unscripted.

The Mission

At 3rd Bottle, with intention in every bottle, we blend craftsmanship with a spirit of freedom, making wine approachable without compromising on quality. Every bottle is meant to be poured, passed, and remembered. Wherever the pour takes you, 3rd Bottle helps script your story.

FINE WINES FROM CALIFORNIA

Our wines start with sun-kissed grapes from the rolling hills of Santa Ynez and Temecula Valley—because great stories deserve an incredible pour. Every bottle is made to be opened, shared, and remembered, turning ordinary nights into the ones you’ll never forget.


But here’s the thing: it’s never just about the wine. It’s about the people around the table, the laughter that lingers long after the last sip, and those unscripted moments that make life deliciously unpredictable.


So here’s to family, to friendships that feel like family, and to raising a glass to the good stuff—connection, joy, and the kind of nights that remind you what really matters.

Where the Pour Takes You

At 3rd Bottle, we’re not here to tell you how to drink, swirl, or sniff. We’re here to celebrate what really matters: connection, laughter, and the moments that can’t be scripted. Wine is just the beginning—the real story unfolds when the glasses keep clinking, the music gets louder, and the night stretches a little longer than planned.


So whether you’re toasting under twinkle lights, playing chef in a chaotic kitchen, or swapping stories on a back porch at midnight, we’ve got the bottle that keeps the good times flowing. No pomp. No pressure. Just bold flavors, full glasses, and friends who feel like family.


Because in the end, the best nights aren’t the ones you plan—they’re the ones you pour into. And with the third bottle on the table, you know you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Cheers to that.
