点评:Beautiful winery with a structured tasting. We were very fortunate to get a very friendly host from Texas (sorry I can't remember his name - Houston boy that played baseball at St. Thomas). The setting is beautiful. The wines were exceptional. The tasting fees are very expensive - so we split one. After the host figured out that we weren't just "tasters" but buyers, he allowed is to do side by side tastings of several wines that we liked. We bought several bottles and may do the club later. I think that they've priced themselves at the premium side of the market - not the most expensive, but at the top. There are a lot of very good wines in NAPA that are not as expensive. I'm glad we went. If price is not concern, you should go too. There are wines that cost more, and wines that cost less. Another thing that we learned from this trip is that the wine business in NAPA is off 30% this year. In many ways I think that NAPA has become a victim of its own success. Regardless, our tasting expierence was excellent and I'd recommend it. The wines are as good as any for my palate.
