Check off Your #SummerBucketList with JaM Cellars!

Darker mornings? Fall fashions in stores? Kids back to school? WAIT!...We’re not ready for summer to be over. To slow things down, we’ve got an awesome #SummerBucketList to savor every last sip of summer. Here’s everything we’re squeezing in before sweater weather comes for us! Join us…and add your own list using #JaMCellars! 

• Water’s where it’s at. Butter Chardonnay is made for summertime adventures and summer is made for splashing, not spilling. That’s where cute 4-packs of ButterCans come in. Simply throw a few in your cooler or backpack and head out on a kayak, SUP, or friend’s boat! Yay for friends with boats and Yay for ButterCans too.

• BFF Brunch: Get the girls together before your busy schedules kick back in. Brunch on a sunny patio and dish on all your summer shenanigans with the perfect breakfast wines Butter, JaM and Toast.

• Plan a picnic: Was it even summer if you didn’t picnic your heart out? Picnics don’t have to be fancy. Grab a cooler with Butter and JaM Cab, simple delicious sandwiches, or pick up some fried chicken (yum!) and lounge under your favorite shady tree (even if it’s in your own backyard.)

• Root, root, root for the home team: Whether you’re watching from home or grabbing some lawn seats and ButterCans to watch your favorite team, nothing says summer like a good ol’ fashioned game of baseball and Butter!

• Star light, star bright: These warm summer nights won’t last forever. Pack out some pillows and blankets under a clear night and a bottle of creami-licious Butter to help you get creative with the constellation names. It’s more fun to make up your own, right?!

• S’mores around the campfire: Outdoors, fire and gooey marshmallow chocolatey goodness? Count. Us. In! Make it better and be sure to bring “s’more” JaM Cab? Check out our fave s’more and JaM recipes.

• Sip at sunset: It’s ok if you’ve slept in this summer because sunsets are the best. Cozy up with your sweetheart, grab a bottle of JaM Cab, and romance the evening away as the sun sets on your perfect summer season…

Hey Sugar, Sugar how’d you get so wine?

Here at JaM Cellars we’ve been craving a little something sweet, so we made you a special treat called Sugar! This soft, sweet white wine is simply sippable and so easy-to-love.

Just like a summer day, one glass will make you California-dreaming with honeyed citrus, lush peach and a sweet kiss of Meyer lemonade. With a zippy little finish, it’s better than sunshine and birthday cake, all rolled into one!  

Here’s the catch...you can ONLY find it online or in our JaM Cellars wine and music studio, in downtown Napa! To celebrate Sugar’s deliciousness, shipping is included on any number of bottles for a limited time, so get it here first! Order a case because we know you’ll be craving more.

How do you take your weekend fun—one Sugar or two? Join us at the JaM Cellars wine and music studio, downtown Napa on Saturday, 7/20 from 4-6pm to welcome Sugar into the JaM-ily. We’ll be sippin’ on Sugar, dishing out some super fun giveaways, winning prizes and of course enjoying some sweet treats! Join us early to beat the Sugar rush!

Can you Float Away With Me? Love, #ButterCans & #CandyCans

Sip, sip, hooray for summer days! We’re soaking up every bit of sunshine and floating our hearts out with ButterCans and CandyCans in tow. Summer is all about maximum chill time, and minimum work. There’s no better place than poolside with your favorite wines in cans. Here’s how…

Snacks Ahoy!
Summer snacking and the living is easy. Throw together this Skinny Poolside Dip with some crunchy dippers. Plus crave-worthy frosty Gummy Bear Popsicles are a hit in the heat (hint: sub half the soda pop with #CandyCans Dry Rosé for the ULTIMATE treat!).

Whatever Floats your Butter
Get out of the pool to sip on your chilled delicious ButterCans? No thank you. Instead, keep your Butter close with this adorbs inflatable mini-floatie made JUST for your Butter beverage.

Make it Insta-worthy
Set the stage for the perfect pic with fun props to capture the best time ever! Get yourself a battery powered Bubble Machine, and print out some pool party photo props to get it all started. Now smile and say “Butter!”

Recycled Is The New New
Keep it chic with these adorable biodegradable straws so you can sip on ButterCans AND save the Earth.

No Pool, No Problem
Who says a pool is mandatory for fun in the sun? Whether you’re running through the sprinklers in your yellow polka dot bikini or pulling out all the stops with this HUGE slip-n-slide, summer fun can’t stop won’t stop!

Summer JaMs Mix Tape

We're mixing the best of new and old with our 2019 Summer Mixtape on JaM’s Spotify playlist! From classic oldies to present-day, get out your air guitar and crank up the volume (just be sure you leave room for a glass or two of Butter in between air guitar sessions). Need some inspo? Let us count the ways!

1. Grab your “JaM box” and tune up your backyard dance moves like no one is watching

2. Hit the road, JaM, and don’t you come back no more no more… (until your vacay days run out, anyway…)

3. While you’re wine-dreaming in the office

4. During the morning commute (just think, there’s Candy Dry Rosé waiting for you at home…)

5. On #WineWednesday of course!

7. Friday night JaMSession with the girls (BYOButter!)

8. Send a hint to your crush #throwback style by texting them this playlist

No matter where you are, or what you’re doing tunes and wine help make the most of summer. Cheers to that!

Best BottleRock Ever?

We danced in the rain, sipped Butter in the JaMPad, and had the best time EVER JaMming at BottleRock 2019. Should we relive our favorite moments? We think yes.

The JaM bands kept coming… The most bands ever played the JaMPad this year. Fifteen outstanding JaMSessions with 97.3’s Jayn kept us moving to the beat whenever the JaM Cellars Stage was on break (and whenever we needed a Frosé refill!) We got up close and personal with Michael Franti, Skylar Grey, lovelytheband, Elle King, Bishop Briggs and so many more—all listed on a sweet lithographed JaMPad lineup poster that went home with 500 lucky festival go-ers. Did you catch the livestreams? #TakeMeBack with our fun wrap video below. 

Sparkled Up at the CandyCabana - Thanks to the Glitter Girls at the CandyCabana, we were bright and shining for every photo op. Especially pics with Cali The Candy Unicorn and our fabulous new selfie station. So many pics of BottleRockers sippin’ on California Candy Frosé—all day!

Just Add Butter - All that dancing really worked up a thirst and JaMFans celebrated their favorite chard (🎶 We got that Butter Chardonnay 🎶) JaM Cabernet, and California Candy Dry Rosé. We didn’t miss a beat (or a sip of Butter) over at the Culinary Stage as Alice Cooper, Questlove, Big Boi and more took the stage and raised a glass to let the good times keep cooking.  

Turn Up at the JaM Cellars Stage - Elle King rocking out was, of course, one of the highlights at the JaM Cellars Stage this year, but how amazing were our headliners, Imagine Dragons, Neil Young, and Mumford and Sons?!

Let’s do it all again (and again) - Were you JaM’ing out with us from afar? Or need to relive the moments from home (or your desk)? Check out our livestream videos saved to keep the good vibes rolling all summer long. See you next year, BottleRock-ers!

Butter Napa Got a Makeover!

Have you met (and sipped) Butter Chardonnay, Napa yet? The Butter you know and love comes in a Napa Valley release with even richer creamy-deliciousness. Made with premium grapes from JaM Cellars’ hometown, 2018 Butter Napa is perfect for when you’re feeling that little bit “extra”.

We just gave this lush Butter a makeover. Check out the fancy bottle featuring John and Michele, who are the “J” and “M” in JaM. Plus it has the cutest Butter-yellow tag, so you know you’ll get that melt-in-your-mouth feeling with every sip!

Ready to stock up? Butter Napa is only available online, and at our Wine and Music Studio in downtown Napa. So you either need to plan a visit to Napa, or let us ship it directly to your doorstep!

Summer Of The Traveling Cans

Grab your buds and hold on to your cans…4 packs of ButterCans and CandyCans are designed to take an adventure from fun to fabulous with every sip.

Where will you take your cans on adventure? Here’s where you’ll find us all summer long, cans in hand!

Your Backyard: BBQ grillin’ and poolside chillin’ are the perfect place to sip on CandyCans…don’t forget to recycle those babies!

We’re Seeing Stars: the best view always takes a little work. Grab a fanny pack, some CandyCans and make the climb…whether that’s top of the hill or even the rooftop!

Beach, please. If you’re hitting the beach, pack up your cooler with ButterCans for a sunny day and a cool glass of chardonnay.

Picnic in the park: grab a blanket, a basket, and ButterCans. Lighter to carry, easier to sip, and perfect for lounging the afternoon away under your favorite oak tree. Isn’t that what summer is all about?

Dance the CandyCan: if you can’t make it to one of the summer’s best music festivals…throw your own fest. Pop open cans, rock your fave JaM Cellars Playlist (BottleRock 2019 playlist on repeat over here!) and dance your day (or night) away, CandyCans in hand!

Have Boat. Will Wine. Whether you’re feeling ambitious about fishing, or ambitious about perfecting those tan lines, a few ButterCans in the cooler are the perfect addition to your tacklebox.

Wherever your summer adventures take you, take ButterCans and CandyCans along the way for the best time ever... the adventure starts in your local wine aisle! Find your favorites using the Wine Finder and let’s kick off the best summer yet!

4 Ways To Sparkle On 4th of July

We really believe you don’t need a special occasion to pop open a bottle of Toast... but it certainly helps!

We can’t think of a better day than the 4th of July to pop some corks and sparkle on with our delicious California sparkling wine, Toast! Light fizzy bubbles, tropical fruit notes and plenty of fun bottled up  to make this our perfectly fabulous wine for any celebration. Time to ice down some bottles and bring on the party!

Fireworks, fun and fabulous wine - Ok, but how cute are these heart-shaped sparklers? Order up plenty to share when the light is fading and the Toast is chilling. If you’re extra fancy, get a photo-savvy friend to set up some long-exposure shots. Bonus points for anyone that can get a “I Love JaM” shot!

Sparkle On, Butter Babes - You know we have a thing for glitter (Our CandyCabana Glitter Girls at BottleRock really do it up!) and why shouldn’t you sparkle from day to night? Pour yourself a glass of Toast and dazzle up for the party with some of your own at-home sparkle.

Toast with Toast - Everyone grab a govino and get ready to pop the cork when the first shower of fireworks lights up the sky!

Happy Birthday to the “J” in JaM! - JaM Cellars Founder, John, gets fireworks on his birthday every year since he shares his birthday with Independence Day. We like his style…making your birthday a national holiday, and everyone celebrates with you! A Toast to John, and a very happy 4th of July from all of us at JaM Cellars!

Don’t forget to tag us in your fabulous Fourth activities on Facebook and Instagram with #JaMCellars!

You can always track down your Toast supply on our super handy Wine Finder to make sure you’re never out of stock and the party keeps on going! Want a case and want it delivered, we got ya with shipping included (for a limited time) right here!
