点评:You can taste when something was made with legacy.
Silver Oak doesn’t just pour wine... they pour intent, integrity, and a damn good cabernet. This wasn’t our first wine stop in Napa, but it may be the one we talk about most, especially after a few glasses (responsibly, of course).
This was a Workcation meets grown-up field trip. Justin and I made a day of it... no kids, no meetings, just the two of us and some world-class wine in one of the most beautifully designed, sustainable, and intentionally Napa spaces you can imagine.
Silver Oak Napa is elevated, but not pretentious.
Our host walked us through our tasting like it was a masterclass in storytelling. I coach leaders for a living, and let me tell you... there’s something about how they talk about their wine that every executive could learn from. Passion. Purpose. A little humor. And a lot of knowing who you are.
The Wine? Legendary. We went for the Cabernet Sauvignon tasting (because obviously), and I was not disappointed. Layered, bold, and silky... basically everything I strive to be at work and at dinner.
Every sip tasted like it had a point of view.
Even the stemware felt important. Which you get to keep, by the way.
We lingered on the 2019 vintage. Justin declared it his new studio wine. I called it “good enough to cancel my next Zoom.” We both agreed it’s what we’ll be gifting clients we actually like.
Yes, we bought wine. And merch. And took an embarrassing number of photos.
Also: shoutout to the person curating their wine accessories... because YES! You understand the assignment.
Silver Oak feels like a celebration of doing things well and doing them for the right reasons. It’s a reminder that excellence can be warm. That premium can still be personal.
If you’re building a business, a marriage, or a moment... you’ll want to toast it here.
翻译:你可以品尝到那些蕴含传承的佳酿。
银橡树酒庄 (Silver Oak) 不仅仅酿造葡萄酒……他们倾注的是专注、诚信,以及一杯上好的赤霞珠。这并非我们在纳帕的第一次葡萄酒之旅,但却可能是我们谈论最多的一次,尤其是在几杯之后(当然,要适度饮酒)。
这是一次工作假期与成人实地考察的结合。我和贾斯汀度过了一整天……没有孩子,没有会议,只有我们两个人,在你能想象到的最精美设计、最可持续、最贴近纳帕风格的空间里,品尝着世界级的葡萄酒。
银橡树纳帕酒庄 (Silver Oak Napa) 品质卓越,却不浮夸。
我们的主人带领我们品酒,就像上了一堂讲故事的大师课。我以培训领导者为生,让我告诉你……他们谈论葡萄酒的方式,蕴含着每一位高管都应该学习的东西。热情。目标。一点幽默。以及对自我的深刻理解。
这酒?传奇般的存在。我们去品鉴了赤霞珠(因为理所当然),果然没有让我失望。层次丰富、浓郁顺滑……基本上就是我在工作和晚餐时追求的完美状态。
每一口都像是在表达一种独特的观点。
就连高脚杯都感觉很重要。顺便说一句,你可以把它留着。
我们细细品味了2019年份。贾斯汀宣布这是他工作室的新酒。我称它“好到可以取消我的下一次Zoom会议了”。我们都一致认为,这才是我们真正喜欢的客户的礼物。
是的,我们买了酒。还有周边商品。还拍了数量多得令人尴尬的照片。
另外:还要感谢负责葡萄酒配饰策划的那位……因为是的!你理解这份工作。
银橡树就像是在庆祝把事情做好,并且出于正确的理由去做。它提醒我们,卓越可以温暖人心。这种品质也可以是个人的。
如果您正在建立事业、建立婚姻或创造美好时刻...您一定想在这里举杯庆祝。
