terry, plays 1st sunday and 3rd saturday – “nothing better than a glass of zen zin in a chocolate-dipped wine glass, unless of course i’m ‘playing’ with the best staff and owners ever at the fun-nest, friendliest and most colorful winery in the south bay… cheers!!”
kathy – when sandy sent out an email asking for new players i jumped on the opportunity. i have been a wine club member here for several years and love the wine, the people that work here, and the customers. i am so happy to be part of the satori family. it is a fabulous place to spend my first and third saturdays.
claudina – “i absolutely love SATORI! being there will definitely raise your spirits! – hehe 🍷 everyone is welcome here from your big babies to your fur babies ❤️ and that is why I love being a part of the team!!”
john plays the 3rd sunday and at the annual sf chronicle awards – the first time we set foot at SATORI it was like a brand new world opened to us! we were greeted by the winery dogs and the splashes of color all around and it’s gotten better! it was the first winery we joined and the next thing we knew we started to help with harvest, then pouring and then bottling. love the friends we have made and the wealth of knowledge john shares with people. love the spirit of SATORI!”
rachel – “i love playing at SATORI because there is nothing better than celebrating life with wonderful music, the amazing community of people, and of course, fabulous wine!”
lisa – “SATORI puts a smile on my face. i pour a glass of wine and bring joy to those i meet. it doesn’t get any better than this.”
david and kelly – “david and i joined the SATORI family back in 2008 when the tasting room was a fold out table and there were only a few bottles of wine on the menu. even then we knew there was something magical about SATORI the vibe, the good energy, tom and sandy, and of course the wine was, and still is, our favorite. we played the 3rd saturday of every month until 2015 when our weekends got filled with david’s performances. now we play when we can, harvesting or in the tasting room. we feel so blessed that we can continue to be part of the SATORI magic!”
aurora –fluffer, beautifier & magic creator says – “SATORI is my ‘favorite place 2 play.’ oh yea!”
aquarius –branding and marketing wizard, suggested ritual and tasting note genius -“SATORI has been our home and 2nd home since 2007. t. and adorah have built a portal for all of us to play full out. 💕 no other place on earth like it. (and did i mention the wine?) 🌈”
orion –facebook and website player – “it only takes one glass of SATORI wine to make me happy! 😃 i have loved playing with the weekly facebook posts/email blasts for the last 13 years and celebrating life with the wonderful people (and wine) of SATORI. thank you tom and sandy!”
mark – graphic designer, labels, logos, website – one of the very best days of my life was when the mad marketing genius aquarius called to ask if i wanted to “play” in a new venture called SATORI cellars. after the initial meeting with tom and sandy i was hooked. the love and positive energy they send out is contagious. and i caught it big time. spend a few minutes at the winery hanging out with friends and the SATORI family – and you’ll feel it too.
