What happened to our extra Happy Hour?

Sunday November 4th is the end of Daylight Saving, and we’re losing an hour of sleep as we make our way into officially-Fall. Except for you, Arizona and Hawaii. We see you.

Waking up on Monday is hard enough without a lost hour. That’s why we’ve got the tips to make your daylight saving transition smoother than a glass of JaM Cabernet.

Make the most of your Sunday Funday. Flex those crockpot muscles with a set it and forget it dinner plan. You can’t go wrong with this One Pot Garlic Butter Chicken (with a creamy glass of Butter on the side, of course). Even better, plan on ordering pizza with a bottle of JaM Cabernet. 

Fake it ‘til you make it. Tired? Who, me? Get ahead of those under-eye bags with this cooling yellow eye mask. Pamper yourself while you’re proactive with your beauty and sip on a glass of ice cold Butter. You’ve earned it!

We only run so we can drink wine. Trade your post-work runs for morning runs as the sun rises earlier and it gets darker sooner. This way, you’re super productive and there’s more time for wine after work. Maybe... you can just run to your local store to get more Butter?!  We’re calling that a wine-wine. #getit

Drift off to the sweet sounds of music. Need to go to bed earlier, but counting sheep not cutting it? Listen to a lullaby to get you to sleep easier after the change. Ok, maybe our lullabies include The Struts. You do you.

Tips and Treats for a wicked HalloWINE

How about some tricks AND some treats? Whether you’re gearing up for a night of ghouling around with the kiddos, or wicked night at a grown-ups only party, take some of the tricks up our sleeve for the best Hallo-wine ever.

GoVino or go home: a seasoned trick-or-treat veteran knows that glass is a no-go when you’re out for haunting. Fill up that Govino with a juicy glass of JaM to really get into the evening’s adventures. Don’t be a wicked witch…pack a few extras to share with the poor lost souls who didn’t think ahead.

Corks are for ghouls. Don’t bother bringing wine that needs a corkscrew. Get the party started even faster with Butter and JaM, always featured in super-easy screwcap bottles. Better yet, pick up a couple packs of ButterCans!

Are you afraid of the dark? Let the neighbors know that after 8PM it’s time to wrangle the kids to count their candy and let the real fun begin. Eat, drink and be scary with easy apps like these Deviled Eggs or this Jack O’ Lantern Chips & Dip to feed the weary parents post-haunting.

If you’ve got it, haunt it. Keep it real when you’re competing in this year’s costume contest. Get back to basics with a cheeky tee or get your Butter half to go all in on a JaM and Cheese couple’s costume.

Don’t be afraid to trick or treat yourself with an extra glass of Butter. We don’t count calories on holidays, right?

Holiday JaMs 2018

The Holidays are upon us, and so are Holiday JaMs at the JaM Cellars wine and music studio in Downtown Napa. We’re showing no signs of stopping, and we’ve brought some Toast for popping…the lights are turned way down low…come see the show, see the show, see the show!

We are closing out the year with the live music every Thursday and Friday nights in November and December, except for Turkey Thursday of course. You’ll have to do some JaMming in your living room to our Holiday playlist to work off that extra bottle of Butter and pumpkin pie!

Got family and friends in town? The good news is we’ve got a range of artists and that means something everyone can enjoy. We’re kicking off November with a little some indie tunes from Highway Poets and Complicated Animals and bringing it all together at the end of the month with Static and Surrender.

We’ll be rockin’ around the Butter tree on December 6th because Zack Freitas is coming to town! Come and ring your jingle bells with us as we groove to JaM Cellars mainstays like Chris Pierce and other favorites too! You can always stay tuned to our events page for the latest lineups so you never miss a beat. 

We can’t wait to drink and be merry with you as we wrap up another Butter year of fabulous music, and JaM-ilicious wine in 2018!

Of course you do, that's why we're bringing in JaM faves like Chris Pierce and Serf and James to round out JaM’s killer “Rock-tober” line-up.

Check out the “Rock-tober” at JaM line-up, mark your calendars and call your friends to come hang. Wine and music is what we do here at JaM Cellars–the only thing we’re missing is you…

Summer Is a State of Mind

Labor Day may be nipping at our heels, but we’re not ready for summer to end. With Butter and JaM Cab and our wine-tastic #SummerBucketList you can enjoy the last few drops of summer—even as the nights get a little cooler and a little darker…

Find Wine-ding Trails - Get outside and get your steps in. Beaches, paved trails or woodlands, it doesn’t matter. The key is to bring your besties, some snacks and a chilled bottle of Butter to drink in that view and celebrate your accomplishment. Breathtaking…and that’s just the wine…

Sip at Sunset - Learn to love that little chill in the air. Set up a picture-perfect viewing spot for sunset, some blankets, an open fire and a glass of JaM Cab. Even better add a gourmet DIY s’mores bar to your sunset setting. The s’mores and the Cab go down soooo smoothly…

Splash at the Beach - A splash of Butter in the sun makes our day perfect, and being by the water always makes it better. Whether it’s the river park or the ocean, our antidote to Fall is a beach picnic—no dirty dishes, yummy finger foods, inner tubes and floaties filled with Butter. Nothing says summer like a yellow picnic blanket and a lazy day with your crew. Did someone say ButterCans??

Summer is totally a state of mind and it’s not over until you say so…or the Butter runs out—gasp! Follow our endless summer #SummerBucketList fun on Facebook and Instagram.

Thanks Jim!

It’s always nice to get noticed, and our rich dark and handsome JaM Cab has been getting some mighty fine compliments from the editor of Wine Enthusiast, Jim Gordon.  Jim gave JaM a soaring 90 Point rating and called us “lip-smacking”. Thank you, Jim!

And not that you need an extra reason to stock up on JaM Cab but August 30th is Cabernet Day! So grab a bottle (or two) of 90 Point JaM Cab and raise a glass to Cabernet—the king of Californian wine, to John and Michele the “J” and “M” in JaM, and of course to Jim. Cheers!
