Testimonials

By the way, we had a great time and WOODY rocked. He was the best so far! I hope he is there next year, we would live to have him back. I think he may have learned a few things about women… I want to send him a picture he took with all these ladies. I’ll send it tomorrow. (2nd email) I have to say one more thing…we were at the winery where we were having lunch and we looked outside and Woody had set up our whole picnic table…with no direction. I think this is what made us see that he is fabulous. He went into every winery and talked to them and if we needed anything had no hesitation to walk in and ask the places. The picnic set up was very spectacular! Thanks again. We have been using you guys 3 years now and do not intend to stop at this point! You all have been great and reasonable prices. Thank you.

I am writing on behalf of myself and my two friends. We were in Napa last weekend and hired a driver from your company for Saturday to take us to and from 5 wineries for our first Napa experience. We would like to make you aware of what a fine job Woody did. Not only was he knowledgeable about the wineries, but his upbeat attitude and easygoing manner set the tone for a wonderful day. Please pass along our compliments...

Dear Jim and Staff,
Thank you for making our evening perfect! To ride in one of your beautiful cars was such a treat for us. We look forward to summer in the wine Country and your continued support to us and our guests.

Napa / Sonoma Wine Tasting Notes

Sophisticated Palate Tour

Do you feel like you have “been there & done that” in Sonoma or Napa Valley? Are you looking for the next level of wine adventure? Let us take you "to the top", to the hillside vineyards where shallow, rocky volcanic soils concentrate and amplify the vineyard fruit. These wineries are serious about their wines, not about being tourist destinations. Most of these properties require appointments so they can give you the special treatment a serious wine lover deserves.

Choose your mountain:

In Napa

Diamond Mountain, Spring Mountain, Mount Veeder, Soda Canyon or the Palisades.

In Sonoma

Moon Mountain, Cavedale Road

For the ultimate wine experience, let our professional put his 40 years of expertise to work as he designs your unique custom tour.

From Napa Wine Company

#9.... #9....#9.... Hey, you have to be a certain age to remember this one, from the Beatles White album!

Also, it is the Napa Wine Company's number, the #9 bonded winery in the Napa Valley! Where now there are hundreds of bonded wineries in Napa, that is a remarkably low number. It is because it was originally the Inglenook Winery! They call themselves "Cult Wine Central" and created a web site by that name to prove their point.

These guys have so much going on that you would need to go there every week for months just to taste all the wines they pour. They have so many you cannot taste them all at one visit. Each week on Friday, they publish a new tasting list for the next week; a white list, a medium-bodied red list and a big red list. Tastes are priced at $5, $10, and $20 respectively.

The Napa Wine Company calls themselves "the incubator" referring to the fact that so many now famous wineries got their start making wine at this winery! Names like Larkmead, Lewis, Palhmeyer, Fife, Madrigal and the list goes on.

Well, many of these wines are not distributed at all as the production is just so small. At the same time, many are made by great wine makers that prefer small lots, so they can do a fabulous job! Rob Lawson, Heidi Barrett, for example and this is just a couple.

At a recent tasting, their #2 Cabernet was acclaimed at local wine maker's Cabernet tasting and remember, these are wine makers doing the tasting! Ghost Block is the name they chose and it has an instant cult status within weeks of first release! The price for this top drawer Cabernet is but $55!

Their #1 Cabernet is the Temescal which, they obviously feel is even better and is priced at $85. In a valley where Stag's Leap Cellars Cask 23 is $175 and Schaeffer $190 one MUST stop by and try these Cabernets. Their third tier Cabernet, the Napa Wine Company Cabernet, is $38 and is from the same fruit the as Far Niente company's Nickel & Nickel which sells for $85!

The Company has 25 labels under one roof (over 100 wines I would give as a more accurate number) but 25 is enough to make my point and the number changes all the time!

Am I getting your attention? This is hot stuff! I did 180 wine tours last year and have lived here all my life so this is not idle babble. I know wine and I know where it is. This is a must-see and must-taste for anyone serious about locating the goods and purchasing the best for the least money, OK?

Tell them I sent you!
