Make Every Day Better with #Butter!

We don’t know about you, but around here, everything's better with a little Butter. Because we’re (albeit, self-proclaimed) experts at recognizing the finer things in life, we have a few ideas on how to make every day a little bit…well…Butter! And with ButterCans, NEW Butter Cab and NEW Butter Bubbles, there’s so many options for a #ButterDay.

Sip’n’JaM!

Love a great soundtrack while you sip? JaM has got you with yummy playlists to go with your fav wines? From Yellow Happy Hour to Wine + Dine, we’ll have you dancing on Cloud Wine in no time. Crank up your speakers, pop the chilled Butter Bubbles, and get your endorphins flowing with those sassy dance moves.  

Pour & Prep

You can order takeout if that's what you're *really* craving, but making dinner at home has its advantages. Whether you’re earning snaps for hosting a girl's night in? Getting cozy at home with your other half? Or treating yourself to your favorite comfort foods? There’s nothing better than cracking open a ButterCan and pouring a glass while you prep. After all you are doing all the hard work, and you deserve a little Butter love.

Best tip ever? These beyond easy dinner at home ideas so you don’t have to work too hard to earn that delicious pour…

• “Dinner for One” recipes. For when you don’t want to share your food, or your Butter!

• No clean up: Easy one pot meals. No cleaning? It’s like music to your ears!

• Fifteen-minute meals, perfect for a ButterCan for the chef

• Five ingredient meals, the sixth is Butter Chardonnay!

• Easy no-cook recipes, leaving you more time for #WineOClock

Dive Into a Good Book (with a Splash!)

Hear us out: a good bottle of wine and a good book will make ANY day a little #butter.

Is there a pile of books you’ve been meaning to read? Or a few audiobooks that you just haven’t gotten around to listening to? Well, the time is now! You’ve got one hand for wine and one for that hot new psych thriller, so find a little slice of sunshine, pour yourself a glass of Butter (and cozy up with a new book. Just a warning though: the time WILL fly by when you do this.

Here’s your top reading & pouring list:

• Anatomy: A Love Story by Dana Schwartz with Butter Cab

  Dive into this romance mystery with sumptuous Butter Cab. A #1 New York Times Bestseller, Instant USA Today Bestseller, and (fun fact) Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club Pick! Schwarts takes her readers to Edinburgh in 1915, specifically to a graveyard; are you hooked yet?

• Your Fully Charged Life by Meghan B Murphy with Butter Chardonnay

  Get your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and advice from Woman’s Day Magazine’s Content Director, Megan B Murphy. Sip on Butter Chardonnay while reading how to add more “yay” into your daily life—now that’s a double win.

• The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave with a ButterCan

  A fantastic thriller mystery surrounding a mom and daughter’s search for the truth. Will you find it? Enjoy a ButterCan on your journey.

• Yes Please by Amy Poehler with Butter Bubbles

  If you’re looking for something a bit more, bubbly… this one’s for you! Pop that cork and sip back for hours of personal stories, lists and advice straight from Amy. This one’s a must-have on the #TBR list!

Plan a Vacay and Vacate

Maybe it’s not in the budget right now, or maybe you don't have someone to watch your fur babies while you’re away; either way, the whole process of planning a vacation can be so much fun. You can browse cool stays on Airbnb, scan for great deals on Domestic flights, and brush up on European backpacking tips from the comfort of your couch–glass of Butter in hand of course.

But whether you're sunning in Palm Springs or planning the next trip from your bed, our delicious and affordable wines are just a click away. Order up some wine with our fast and convenient delivery partners and have a #ButterDay without ever taking your cloud slides off.

Go for a Walk

Want to have a #ButterDay? Take a hike…literally.

Not only does this help boost your levels of vitamin D, but it also gets you out of your house and gives you some much-needed change of scenery. Grab a ButterCan (they’re pocket-sized), and head outside. Plan ahead (check out this great list of hikes by state) and bonus points for getting your friends or family to join you. Just make sure they pack their own ButterCans!

Chill Out (And Chill Your #Bubbles!)

More now than ever before, it’s important to find the time to just BE.

With all the distractions, notifications, and responsibilities that we face throughout the day, sometimes it’s just nice to sit and think. Pour yourself a glass of Butter Bubbles, post up on the porch, sink into the couch or even slide into bed, and just focus on relaxing.

Make Every Day Better with Butter

No #Butter? No problem! We’ll come to you.

With convenient delivery straight to your door, your day will be looking #Butter in 60 minutes or less. Now go on and have a delicious day today, JaM lovers!

Butter Chardonnay 2016 Vintage

Almost sold out!

Congrats to all our ButterLovers – we’re almost sold out! But we planned ahead (Yay!) and more tasty Butter has been mellowing and getting ready for this very occasion. The 2016 vintage is creamy and Butter-ful—just the way you like it.

Better yet, grab your friends for a Butter-tasting and post some pics #jamcellars #ButterisBetter. Don’t have any of the 2015 vintage? Well…we do have maybe just a couple cases left here at Butter HQ…get ‘em quick.

Everything’s better with Butter… even KAABOO Del Mar!

Have you ever looked back at your camera roll and wish you could go back and relive the memories all over again? Maybe from a weekend with your besties, sitting on the beach, or belly-laughing on the sofa?

That’s how we feel after our fun filled weekend in San Diego as the official wine of KAABOO Del Mar! Anyone reading this who went, THANK YOU for hanging out, showing us a great time and sharing the love for Butter Chardonnay!

We had an amazing time broadcasting live from the ButterLounge with KyXy 96.5 FM Radio’s Susan Devincent, and checking in on Facebook Live with Sonic from Energy 103.7 FM. Everyone in the ButterLounge got a chance to get up close and personal with Echosmith and Finish Ticket, not to mention rock out alongside Aerosmith, Jimmy Buffet, and Jack Johnson on the mainstage.

Check out our favorite moments in this video and take a glimpse into our camera roll on Facebook.

Sunshine, live music and a chilled glass of creamy-licious Butter Chardonnay—now that’s our kinda JaM!

Chill with JaM Cabernet

Have a chilled-out evening!

Ok, so the kids are headed back to school and nights are drawing in…but that doesn’t mean we have to pack up the patio set just yet. Shorter and slightly cooler evenings are made for chilling by the fire pit, or candlelight with a glass of JaM Cabernet. When the temps are still high, we’ll put our JaM Cab on ice—its berry flavors wrapped in vanilla softness will be perfectly rich and fresh to go with whatever’s on the grill.

Our only advice—keep it simple (who has time for menus and tablescapes anyway?) To help you on your way to a berry-licious, chilled-out evening with great wine, summer jams and friends (or just one special friend), we’ve put together a ready to go playlist. After all JaM is our kinda Cab! Cheers!

Our Top 5 reasons to pop our bubble-licious sparkling wine…

5. We love it with everything.

Toast Sparkling complements foods all the way from sushi to sliders and back to benedicts. Toast with roasted salted truffle marcona almonds from one of our fave grocery stores is a ninja pairing move you can treasure for the rest of your life. (You’re welcome!)

4. Two words: Summer Berries.

Toast loves the summer and its bounty of berries. We’ve been known to add a slice of strawberry or a raspberry to our glass of Toast for a little summer chic.

3. It’s the little things!

Toast-ing is the perfect way to celebrate, well…everything you’re grateful for. For us that’s a straight hair day, the kids not fighting, hearing our favorite song on the radio (currently DNCE Cake by the Ocean – another great pairing with Toast BTW!), getting out that red wine stain (and sipping Toast instead to not risk it again!) and of course Thursdays a.k.a  “Little Fridays” (or choose whatever your favorite day of the week is!).

2. You can’t beat the POP.

Nothing says FUN like the pop of Toast’s cork! Seriously, it’s one of the happiest sounds on earth, we LOVE it! This picture of Michele is one of our all-time favorites and remember her telling us “I could do this all day!” Yes Michele, yes you can!

1. Reason. Who needs one?

We’ll be Toasting to YOU all our JaMLovers…thank you for choosing our wines and sharing them with your loved ones. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and send us a message any time, we want to hear from you!

Celebrating our Country's Independence

Downtown Napa rocked this 4th of July!

We hung out at the ButterBus, sipping wine and playing cornhole. And we danced to awesome BottleRock bands The Mowgli’s and Panic is Perfect on the JaM Cellars stage. We love throwing a good party and we had double reason to celebrate—the 4th is also John’s birthday!  What better way to celebrate than bringing friends, neighbors and visitors to Napa together with great wine and music. The best part? JaM made it free for everyone, now THAT’s a party! Check it out here.
