Statera Cellars

At Statera Cellars, Est Wines, and Lares Wines, we believe in the fundamental right of every person to live authentically and with dignity. Within our own company, Luke is a q***r and nonbinary individual, and knows firsthand how vital it is to feel seen, valued, and supported.

Our transgender community members are an essential part of our lives. Their stories, perspectives, and experiences enrich the world we are all crafting. We stand in full solidarity with trans individuals, advocating for their rights, safety, and well-being. This means ensuring inclusive policies, fostering a culture of respect, and actively challenging discrimination wherever it exists.

To our trans colleagues, customers, and community members: You are valid. You are important. You deserve to be embraced exactly as you are. At Statera Cellars, Est Wines, and Lares Wines, we remain committed to amplifying trans voices, advocating for equity, and making sure everything we do reflects these values.

We will continue to listen, learn, and take action—because true inclusion is not just about words, but about meaningful, sustained commitment. As Ernesto “Che” Guevara said, “the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.” We love you and will not sit idly by for acts of revolutionary love.

With Pride and Solidarity,
Luke & Meredith

We’ve got a gorgeous line up of wines for our Spring ‘23 release with the debut of two brand new wines from Statera. (Everything is available in our online wine shop now!)
