The San Francisco Chronicle is out today with its list of the Top 100 Wines from the West. Not surprisingly, Napa is well represented, particularly in the Cabernet Sauvignon category.

About a year-and-a-half ago, we had the pleasure of visiting Palmaz Vineyards for a private tour and tasting and came away quite amazed at what we saw, heard and tasted.

So far we’ve heard from a world-class chef and a top-notch sommelier regarding Thanksgiving wine. Now, on this Friday morning we’re bringing you a super-quick interview with a local winemaker–it’s a bit brief due to the fact he was just getting set to jet off on a business trip to Japan, but still fun and [...]
