Keenan Winery Napa Valley — Attraction in St. Helena

We came across this lovely winery by the recommendation of Betty Jo March, from visiting the Hogan of Napa Valley art shop. Laura, her daughter, works here and Betty Jo was so accommodating and personable, that she shared this rare gem of a winery with us and we're so glad that she did!

We really enjoyed the tour of their cellar, fermentation tanks, and view of their mountaintop vineyards! There were 2 standout wines that we ended up taking home with us: the 2020 Capstone & 2015 Side-By-Side! Both of these were phenomenal varietals with bold flavor profiles, that left a lasting impression on us during our trip!

However, the place has no wine tasting experience, our host Laura just poured us wine and not even explained anything about wine. She had to rush from one party to another. You are sitting in a room with a lot of people, they take in so many more people that they can host at a time. It felt crowded and awful. Maybe if on top of all this the wine was good, I would say fine and close my eyes on all this. But out of 8 wines we tried we found only two-three drinkable. We kept spitting everything else. Overall, an expensive and awful experience that truly made our Napa...
