Filos is the Greek word for friend. We have always felt that our wine club is an extended group of great friends who share our passion for life. Now is the time we get to say a special thank you and invite you and 1 adult guest (total of two per membership and one must be a member) to join us at our home in the Ampelos vineyard for a day of amazing food, fabulous wines (including some from our library) and meeting new and old friends, alike.

This is an adult only (21+) event. No pets or children.  We have to limit the number of folks attending -- so if you do RSVP and later cannot attend please let us know.  No refunds after July 28th

Location 7253 Santos Road Lompoc CA 93436 (Don't take Domingos Road -- GPS often takes folks the wrong way.   Take Mail Road which is right after Domingos heading west on Highway 246)

Racing heartbeat. tingling down to your toes. A grin impossible to erase. It’s the first time and you will never forget it. white grapefruit, keffir limes and delicate honeysuckle set sail for exotic shores. Licks of lemon, candied ginger and crushed sea shells fill well worn passport pages while swirls of delicate white flowers permeate your hopes and desires. Epsilon is “small selection”.

The click clack of rails, puffs of jasmine glinted steam, the sneaky smile of a mandarin orange sun.  Teak wood bar, juicy pineapple rings, shaved coconut flesh, the sway of palm trees passing quickly by.  A new day swaggers through the lounge car with unlimited possibilities which I ride alongside "phi" the "golden girl" of my dreams.

Adventure junkie, thrill seeker, move maker and favorite friend describe you and this bottle!  Hailing from the albarino grape, this beauty was crafted from 14 days of leaving the juice on the skins.  Hang on a second: white grapes on the skins?  Yes!!! thats how the old world makes orange colored wine!  With fresh bright acidity, delicious stone fruit on the palate and a perfect sunset color - the road less traveled looks so very good!

Unbridled. A cunning smile with a peaches and cream complexion.  Luscious ripe strawberries and quick whit.  You melt into her creamy leather seats and hit 0 to 60 in 2.46 seconds.   She'll love and leave you, but nothing about this ride will be forgotten.

This pinot is a great friend of ours.  It all started when he walked in wearing a suit and tie.  He was gracious in his offerings of dark cherry, rich cola and butterscotch so we invited him to dinner.   Arriving at the ranch, the suit was gone, the boots were on and the stories of well-worn leather and spice began.

Full moon on a friday night.  The drive-in with your favorite date.  Dark chocolate covered raisinets and sticky cherry cola.  Morning's sunrise with sweet thick-sliced french toast, pepper-rubbed slab bacon and freshly ground espresso beans.  All of your favorite faces and places fill the recesses of your mind as you relax under your favorite oak tree.  You're home. Lambda is "the magnitude" of what we do - it is our 'home' at Ampelos.

It had been awhile, but the journey always brought them back together.  The attraction was intense, the flavors an intoxicating blend of deep cherry skins, smoldering wood fire, and exotic spice.  Wiser and a bit older, "lambda" showcases the 'magnitude' of great relationships - complex, but smooth and fulfilling.

He comes through my door every 3 years.  It started when he was younger - the cream of the crop - swinging with notes of dark fruits and filling the senses with his presence. Time passed and maturity gave him a lush, ink dark perspective - one with sultry crooning, notes of currants, pepper and the richness of an old french oak bar. He is the "king of the hill", this one; a legend that lingers at his table weaving together the words of well told stories late into the night.

You went to the mountains to get away, but you got into a little trouble instead… and you loved it.  A weekend of charred firewood, tanned leather and ethereal blue fruits.  Slow dancing, vinyl skipping… explosive black fig and mocha fanned by desire and time standing still.  The complex ‘correlation’ of life’s best moments.
