As the week winds down, we get set to say goodbye to the first month of 2008 (can you believe that?!) To usher in the month of February, we’ve got a collection of local wineries that are planning to host parties to celebrate their new releases this weekend…get out there and enjoy!

For a brief moment, the sun was shining and all seemed right with the world. For our next winetasting adventure, we made our way up Highway 29, past the town of Yountville, past Mustards, past the famous Oakville Grocery and finally made a right at 8338 St. Helena Highway (aka Highway 29), which is the [...]
Going through our inbox, we ran across a quick video from Kathryn Hall of Hall Wines up in St. Helena.
Hall, producer of classic Bordeaux varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc, has some serious construction going on (as do a seemingly growing number of local wineries–Alpha Omega, Silver Oak Cellars, Sequoia Grove [...]
This past Friday morning, while the wind blew so hard it was rattling windows and the rain pelted the already soaked ground in a seemingly never-ending downpour, we ventured out to do a bit of winetasting. This time, our stop was not at all far from home–we pulled off at 4242 Big Ranch Road, which [...]

Well, after several nice weather days in a row, now we here in the Napa Valley are getting dark, cold, wet weather and more of the same is expected this weekend. Earlier in the week the extreme northern part of the valley actually saw snow, so if you’ll be in town this weekend, be sure [...]
In an effort to be good bloggers, we setup several RSS feeds based on key search terms related to this here blog. One of the terms, as you might guess, is “napa valley”. Now, we don’t keep up with our feed reading as much as we probably should.
So this afternoon, while going through 558+ [...]
Last Summer we told you about the upcoming Napa Valley film ‘Bottle Shock’, which was being put together by filmmaker Randall M. Miller. The film tells the story of the early days of California winemaking and the monumental 1976 blind tasting in Paris. Well, here we are in January 2008 and the film has made [...]
We’ve written before about the severe lack of local wineries who’ve sought to tap into the power the blogosphere, so we write this post having seen a ray of hope. It seems that August Briggs Winery, which is located at 333 Silverado Trail in Calistoga, has just launched a blog.
For now, the posts [...]
It’s Friday, and for most, it’s the beginning of a three day weekend. We were up early today and happened to be driving in the heart of the Napa Valley at sunrise, so we thought we’d share one of our favorite photos.
This one, taken this morning, is a shot looking at the western Napa [...]
