Let me start by saying that the wine is exquisite. Buy it.
The host is a disappointment to say the least. He is the quintessential snooty, arrogant, "professional." We showed up for our appointment, on time, only to find out that he forgot to write it down on the schedule. When we showed up, he was perplexed and did not know how to handle his error. We provided him a confirmation email (FROM HIM) and he still struggled to find words. It took the 6 other people sitting in the tasting room to invite us in for him to admit his error and ask us to sit down. The struggle continued throughout the rest of the tasting.
I have held this wine in high regard for 6 years. My opinion of wine has not changed, but my taste and appreciation for the brand overall has diminished to a degree that is regrettable due to the host they've selected.

Anyone can pour a few wines and rattle off some data but his knowledge made it a lot more interesting and fun. This will be a given stop on every...
Read moreMagnificent experience at one of Napa Valley's most prestigious wineries, guaranteed memory maker! Forget going to the crowded, larger producers along Highway 29 or the Silverado Trail...for the same tasting price as most other wineries in the valley, you'll enjoy an intimate afternoon with generous pours of the Napa's finest vintages, thoughtfully presented by their knowledgeable and unpretentious tasting manager, Thomas. It's an exclusive experience you'll have to plan ahead for, but well worth the effort considering the exceptional encounter you'll be sure to have. I can't wait to go back to share the special occasion with new friends, cheers to...
