Thank you so much! So glad you all enjoyed the wines.
Thank you- I think this wine is the real sleeper in the Fall release.

Thank you- I think this wine is the real sleeper in the Fall release.
I think the Brosseau Grenache is the real sleeper. I’m a total Grenache skeptic, aside from Rayas and a few old vine wines from Gredos / Sierra de Madrid. But yours was extraordinary with none of that candied berry that turns me off the vast majority of Grenache, even from producers I otherwise like.
YEAH! PSA
We launched two special year-end packs today with Bersker Day-esque pricing (plus free shipping).
If you’re a longtime Yeah! drinker, these include favorites like 2021 Family Band and 2021 Nightlight. If you’re new to our wines, they cover a beautiful spectrum of what we do.
Because we’re pulling from library bottles, quantities are limited and we’re closing the offer Sunday evening (or earlier if we sell out).
I tasted through all these wines last week and it was great to revisit the wines (especially the Mourvèdre based blends). One that really stood out- 2022 Agradezco Red Blend. Spirit-full. ![]()
Hope this offer brings you some cheer this season. Kate and I are grateful for your support and enthusiasm for these wines.
UPDATE-
We had a crazier than anticipated response yesterday. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everyone jumping in.
Due to the limited library wines- Only three 6 Packs and ten cases remain.
If you are on the fence, now is the time.
Jumped in for a case. Thanks for the awesome offer! Can’t wait to try these
Thank you! So glad you got one.
The packs are now all sold out.
Thanks to everyone who jumped in!
Cross posting from the week 3 charity thread…
First of an Extradimensional mixed case. No real rhyme or reason but I decided to start here
Super bright and lifted raspberry, strawberry and stemmy crunchy cherry. As it opens there’s some Christmas pine, and blood orange. With air the acid mellows and a little softer fruit profile appears. Very delicious and crushable yet ponderous Grenache. Yeah!
As this has article we are featured in has gathered some attention in another thread, I wanted to share the article and our response below.
Kate and I are grateful for the support and kind words in regards to the story with Jancis above. A few people have reached out about my quotes in the Jancis article, so here’s the short version.
At the end of 2024, our bank chose not to renew our business line of credit. We were current on every payment and always rested the line annually (we were told by our bank that few wineries managed that in 2024), but regardless of our standing, we were given 30 days to repay it in full. The message was simple: the overall risk profile of the California wine industry had become too high. Despite our 2024 sales being up over 30%, securing replacement financing in 2025 as a growing, asset-light winery proved impossible in the current environment.
We increased production with the 2024 vintage and have enough wine to carry us through 2026. On the direct-to-consumer side, our business is strong. Even in a very difficult 2025, we still grew DTC revenue, club membership, and tasting room visitation. We’re roughly 80% direct-to-consumer. What declined (largely due to tariffs and broader market conditions) was wholesale and export. Operating without access to credit forced us to make a very difficult decision and hunker down and pass on 2025.
For years, both as Dirty & Rowdy and Extradimensional, we’ve been told we represent a model for the future of wine: innovative, creative, high-touch, and DTC-driven. That still holds true, but small producers are getting crushed on costs. As a two-person operation, we pay outsized rates for fruit, crush, glass, shipping, compliance, healthcare, etc. without zero economies of scale larger wineries rely on.
Kate and I are actively working through the path ahead and remain optimistic- the wines are better than ever, our DTC is growing. As several have asked how can they help- in the short term, here’s what makes a significant difference.
JOIN THE CLUB / BUY DIRECT
We need roughly 250 new club members / regular direct buyers to fill the gap and continue to make these wines without compromise. Joining the club is the most impactful way to support us. It is fully customizable, 3x a year, and allows us to better forecast production. Buying direct, sharing bottles with friends, and spreading the word matters.
As always
deep thanks for this community and the support you give.

Original WB thread
@H_Wallace_Jr wow this is tough to hear about. I’m very new to your wines but they have all been phenomenal. I’m actually debating what Extradimensional bottles to bring to a crab dinner tonight (if only I had a bottle of full king crab!!!)
I hope to continue to support your winemaking and see this through. I love the project and the wines. I think there’s room in everyone’s cellar for Extradimensional wines.
I’m a sample size of one, two if you count my wife Denise. At the last EDWCY pick up we tasted the 2023 Cab Franc Marianas Vineyard and Denise said that was to be her birthday wine.
Fast forward to last week at Diavola enjoying the rib eye (and a couple other goodies) and having that Cab Franc which was obviously young but so perfectly balanced. Sublime really! The four of us, our son and dil were with us all agreed, it is one hell of a wine!
Unfortunately, we were all eating at the bar so didn’t take any photos of the wine or food.
It’s a tough time for the wine industry but @H_Wallace_Jr Good things happen to good people.

Time to warm up the credit card again!
Wish I was drinking this tonight. Sublime is my descriptor for Marianas Vineyard. Hardy really captures the energy of the site. Everyone thought we were crazy planting Cab Franc at this site but thank you Hardy for keeping the positive extradimensional thoughts going in your wines!
Thank you, Branson!
So glad you all got to share that together. The Mariana’s Franc is so so good.
Thank you, David.
Thank you, Bill! The farming work you do makes it easy for us!
Somehow I missed posting this one when we had it over a month ago:
• 2022 Mind Left Body Mourvèdre
We had a great Yeah! time with this. From CT review:
Yeah! Didn’t do the usual decant but just popped and poured. Very strong cranberry, surprising amount of acidity, a pithy sour note at the back. Just feels like a hand picking up a bunch of grapes or maybe a pomegranate and just squeezing it til the juice runs. With about a half hour of air this settles down into another rambunctiously fun EWCY! blend — cranberry/ raspberry, raw venison, citrus pith. For now 1 hr decant recommended.
I think his mind left his body because he blended evangelho with other wines for the first time if I’m not mistaken.
The Mind Left Body Jam is a very spacey Grateful Dead instrumental.

Can someone please remind me of the make up of the Agradezco. Thanks!
