BETWEEN THE REVIEWS w/ Rodney S

Q) Rodney, while you were in Napa, did you experience any wine tastings? A) Yes, Rodney, I did! On my tight schedule, I went to a Grand Pour wine tasting at the Westin Verasa Napa, with the following day a visit to Sutter Home Winery.

Q) Were there appetizers to munch on? A) Rodney, Sutter Home had a sumptuous charcuterie spread to go along with their menagerie of wine, which included goat & sheep cheese, figs & apricots.

Q) How were the wine tastings, Rodney? A) The wine kept flowing to the visitor's content. So much so, a young woman threw up on the shuttle bus back to the hotel. I'm not really a drinker, perhaps indulging a couple times a year, so I enjoyed the sweeter libations, like their sangria & sparkling prosecco. I also had tastings of Sutter Home reserve wine, not sold in stores, such as their sangiovese.

Q) What else did you do at Sutter Home Winery? A) After helping ourselves to charcuterie & glass after glass of wine, we were entertained by a private concert in the round. Underneath a party canopy, we enjoyed the musical talents of Zach Heckendorf, Brendan James & Drake White.

A fun photobooth provided the poops & giggles

Q) Rodney, do you recommend visiting Sutter Home Winery for a tasting? A) Absolutely, Rodney! The staff were friendly & hospitable during the couple hours we spent at the winery. The grounds were beautiful to meander about in & I found a greater appreciation for wine. Although Sutter Home is considered an economy class wine, the Sutter Home Winery wine tasting was first class all the way.
