TOMORROW: A NEW WEBSITE EXPERIENCE
|
A MORE CONNECTED ESCONDIDO ARRIVES THURSDAY
Our new Escondido website launches Thursday afternoon, bringing Members a more polished, connected way to experience the Club online.
_____
YOUR FIRST LOOK
Watch your inbox tomorrow afternoon.
Members will receive a separate launch email with new login credentials, a direct link to the website, and simple instructions for getting started.
_____
RESERVATIONS, NOW AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
The new website introduces several conveniences that were not previously available online, including the ability to see availability and reserve dining, courts, transportation, and golf lessons directly through the site.
_____
ONE LOGIN. ONE CONNECTED EXPERIENCE.
Our new Escondido app is expected to launch next week and will use the same username and password as the website.
The website and app will work together as one connected Escondido experience, making it easier to access the Club information and services you use most.
_____
AS WE SETTLE IN
This launch represents much more than a new look — it is a transition to an entirely new suite of Member tools and technology.
We have taken great care to make the experience as seamless and intuitive as possible, but as everyone becomes familiar with the new platform, you may notice a few details that need to be refined along the way.
We appreciate your patience during these first days. Our team will be closely monitoring the site and making adjustments as needed.
_____
A QUICK NOTE ABOUT STATEMENTS
Once the new website is live, statements dated prior to August 1, 2026 will no longer be available online.
Should you need a statement from before August 1, our Accounting team will be happy to provide it upon request.
_____
CREDIT CARDS ON FILE
If you have a credit card on file, you will need to re-enter that information on the new website. After you receive your credentials on Thursday, go to:
Account > My Statements > Manage Payment Methods
_____
WHERE ABOVE MEETS BEYOND
We’re excited to share this next chapter of the Escondido Member experience — one designed to feel simpler, more connected, and distinctly Escondido.
Look for your login information tomorrow, and we look forward to welcoming you to the new website Thursday afternoon.

RETAIL
2024 Durup 1er Cru Montmains, Chablis — $38
Chablis at its most precise. Domaine Durup has been farming these Kimmeridgian limestone slopes for generations, and Montmains — one of the appellation's most respected Premier Cru vineyards — shows it in every sip. Expect a bracing, mineral-driven Chardonnay with notes of green apple, crushed oyster shell, and citrus pith, finishing with the kind of chalky, saline snap that makes Chablis so food-friendly. No oak to hide behind here — just pure, tightly wound white Burgundy at a price that over-delivers.
RESTAURANT
2023 Jean-Michel Guillon & Fils, Gevrey-Chambertin "Cuvée Alexis" — $120
A serious Pinot Noir from one of Gevrey-Chambertin's most respected growers. Jean-Michel Guillon has built a reputation for wines with real structure and pedigree, and "Cuvée Alexis" is a great expression of that — dark cherry and black currant up front, layered with notes of forest floor, baking spice, and a firm, savory backbone typical of the appellation. This is a wine built to age, but it's already showing beautifully, with the kind of depth and grip that Gevrey-Chambertin is famous for.

NOW POURING AT THE GREAT HOUSE
September Spark is our toast to that perfect in-between season when summer sunshine meets the first hint of fall. Bright grapefruit and crisp tequila stay light and refreshing, while fresh ginger adds a warm, spicy finish. Bubbly, vibrant, and just cozy enough for September.
