This will be for a birthday party bus trip of about 30 people. Any suggestion on some good not every day winiers, that the birthday couple could get a little bit of special treatment, maybe a barrel tasting? Any help would be greatly appreciate.

I can honestly say, I love your new found adventures these days. Would love to travel to Europe exclusively for a wine trip. Keep kicking myself for not doing it last time I was there, but my traveling buddies were not as big on wine as I am. Would love to hear about your travels and recommendations. Love my French wines.

My husband is a pilot, and had a layover in San Jose a coupleof month sago. I went with him and we lucked out. Perfec day weather wise to drive down to Carmel for lunch.

    Mark: I ordered a case of The Prisoner. You can't go wrong with it. Some people like the 2005 over the 2006 but I like the fruit in the 2006.

    Posted January 11, 2009

    Hey All.. I am the owner of a wine bar in San Jose looking to bring in some new labels.  Care to share some favorites with me? We are a small boutique wine tasting bar, carrying small lot producers (1000 cases or less per year).  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Vale...

  • Napa Valley, CA
    73 members
    California's most celebrated wine region is the Napa valley. While other regions lie in close proximity to the Napa Valley (Sonoma and Carneros) it is Napa that most people know by name. In fact a lot of people lump in Carneros and Sonoma when they talk about Napa.

    The Napa Valley, while only 20 miles long, stretches from the cooler town of Napa to the slightly warmer Calistoga where the foggy ocean access is left behind. In this small valley many vineyards have made their home. Some of California's finest Cabernet Sauvignons come form Napa as do great Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot-Cabernet Franc blends.

    Some of the most notable vineyards are; Schramsberg, Beringer, Grgich Hills, Rubicon Estates, Robert Mondavi, Domaine Chandon, Chimney Rock, Stag's Leap, Rutherford Hill, Niebaum-Coppola, ZD, Merryvale, Mumm Napa, raymond and Beaulieu Vineyard.
  • Food & Wine Pairings

    Quite often a good wine is a great wine when paired with the right food. Some food and wine pairings are quite obvious where as others are often illusive. Are you planning a dinner and want to see what wine would go best with it? Have you had a great meal that was perfectly paired with a wine? Please share it so we can all enjoy the wine pairing.
  • Virtual Wine Tasting Club

    Welcome to the Virtual Wine Tasting Club. Every month in our online wine tasting series we will taste a different wine and post our tasting notes. In advance, if possible, please post the wine you will be trying that fits the tasting. The tasting will last one month so you can taste and post your notes in that time frame. Please ask questions about the wine we're tasting, post recommendations for future wine tastings and make this online wine tasting group a wonderful, interactive, informative wine discussion.
