Valentine’s or Gal-entines?

Valentine’s or Gal-entine’s—either way we love it!

What is Gal-entine’s you ask? It’s a holiday that celebrates your love for your girlfriends. And as Amy Poehler's character from the show Parks and Rec, says, "It's only the best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies.” Love this!

Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s, Gal-entine’s or both. Here are some ways to make the ones you love feel special…

• Let them know “You’re totally my JaM!” And send your girlfriends a fun Galentine’s Day meme.

• Take 10 minutes to set the scene on V-day for your honey. It doesn't have to be a lot—a card, two chocolates and a couple of glasses of rich red Cab. Perfect!

• Make brunch—for your besties or your man! Brunch says I'm making my day all about you. Thankfully, we have the perfect “breakfast trio” for you to pair with your waffles… Butter, JaM and Toast! 

• Take a trip (Thelma & Louise, Bonnie & Clyde—but maybe without the police chase?) Check Airbnb and rent a house in the woods, take a daytrip or check out these other great ideas on Bustle. And what the heck—bring a bottle or two with you for when you arrive.

Share your Valentine’s and Gal-entine's Day fun with us! Sip, smile and share! #JaMCellars

Three Butter-licious Resolutions for 2017

How are we already 3 weeks into the New Year? Any New Year’s resolutions? Still holding strong? Or did you cave for that scoop of ice cream last Sunday? Decide that organizing your house (or life) really wasn’t that important? Or hey… maybe you haven’t even made a New Year’s resolution? (Guilty as charged!!)

If you’re looking for a Butter balance (sorry, we can't help ourselves) in 2017, here’s a few things even we think we can manage...

• Pencil in more time for you… “Bad Moms” and Butter? Sounds like a perfect date-night with me, myself and I. And if you’re on Netflix, check out this new trick on how to unlock hidden movie categories with secret codes.

• Don’t forget to exercise… that way you can feel extra good about your well-deserved glass of Butter! (Whaat? It is fat-free!. And no-one said you can’t have wine resolutions?

• Focus more on doing what makes you happy—and things you love! Like a morning hike, hanging with the girls, complimenting yourself at least once a day, and sharing Butter with the ones you love. They'll love you right back.

Any tips for us? Tell us your Butter-licious resolutions for 2017. #JaMCellars on Facebook.

NY Times verified! JaM Cellars… a “can’t miss” in Napa!

The NY Times recently ranked Napa Valley as one of the top “Places to go in 2017” and JaM Cellars is one of their faves—check us out at #31!

Maybe it’s the casual, comfy setting, filled with rock memorabilia? Or the sweet sound-system and stack of classic vinyl? (We LOVE song requests!) Or that we’re right downtown surrounded by awesome restaurants…and we’re open late (did someone say date night?). Or maybe because we have seriously great wine that simply rocks? Whatever the reason, there’s always something going on at JaM…and a glass awaits!

• Join us EVERY Friday at 9pm for live music JaMSessions—no cover charge! Get up close and personal with BottleRock bands Pacific Radio playing 2/3 and Serf & James 1/20 and 2/10. Be sure to check out our events calendar and FB!

• Sunday Funday. Snuggle in our booths and escape the cold, we’re calling #SundayFunday rain or shine! Toast-mosa anyone?

• Monday Night = Industry Night. Come hang out with your local industry fam!

• #TipsyTuesdays call for a glass of Butter, JaM, or Toast and we’ll roll a movie while you sip. Sideways, Saturday Fever, and Pretty in Pink!

• #WineWednesday. Always the perfect day for a wine special! Come on by and we’ll help get you over hump day.

• Thursday (a.k.a) Li’l Friday. It’s the start of the weekend! Kick back and watch a rockumentary with a glass in hand!

• 4pm toast with Toast! Every day at 4pm…on the dot.
