To all our friends & customers:
After much deliberation and thought, Rachael and I have sold San Clemente Wine Company. We’ve made this decision due to knowing that we now need to place our family needs above our business and will soon be travelling back to Louisiana and Virginia. And so it’s time to start another adventure in our lives…
The new owners are Jeff & Stacey Lloyd, newcomers to San Clemente from Northern California, and they’re keeping the name and most of the same formats in the shop and on this web site. They have an incredible amount of energy and will bring new life and welcome changes to the business. We hope you’ll continue your amazing support and will help Jeff and Stacey through the learning curve of their new business.
So for the next couple weeks, we will not be able to process any web site orders. We apologize for any inconvenience, but there needs to be some down-time and re-organization during the transistion of ownership…
We want to thank all of you for an amazing six years – we had a lot of fun, drank & shipped a lot of great wine, made a lot of new friends, and worked damn hard – we’re proud and grateful for all of it.
Thanks again for everything!
Wishing you all the best,
Barney & Rachael Doyle
San Clemente Wine Company

I rate wines using the 100-points scale. I have used this point system for close to 25 years. I still believe it is the simplest way to rate a wine, with its origins from grade school in the United States. A wine that I rate 90 points or more is outstanding (A), and worth buying. If I rate a wine 95 points or more (A+), it is a must buy.
