It’s the week beginning November 24, 2025.

Dear Subscribers,

As traffic and content have increased, we’re experiencing slower page loads at peak times. As the Thanksgiving week is upon us, we’re resolving this by migrating the site to a dedicated server and tightening up site performance behind the scenes.

Meanwhile, Cristaldi is busy tasting the last wines for his forthcoming Sonoma buyer’s guide, and major update on the Texas wine scene. 

A sincere thanks to all of those who have recently renewed their subscriptions. You are helping make our work possible.

Coming soon to C&Co: Sonoma’s 2022s, 2023s, and 2024s, and Texas’ ongoing up-and-coming awesomeness. Check out our regional coverage and Cristaldi’s work on Decanter through the quick links below.
