This past weekend, which was a hot and muggy one here in the Napa valley, we spent some time up at Flora Springs Winery. We were attending a truly Napa Valley event–a fundraiser for our little guy’s ’school’ as we call it (in reality, it’s a daycare)–which was hosted by Flora Springs out on West [...]
Duane Hoff (of Fantesca Estate and Winery up on Spring Mountain) and the crew at Adopt-a-Grape are out with their latest video installment. This one has the team searching for a water source on the property with the special help of a long time Napa Valley resident.

This past weekend we were up at The Hess Collection, where there was quite a bit going on. First, it was a Cellar Door Red weekend, meaning our half-gallon jug was refilled with 100% cabernet sauvignon (2005) from Mount Veeder.

A recent comment gave us the final kick in the pants to actually put an idea we’ve been knocking around for a while into action.
As many of you know, we’ve ‘widgetized’ The Cork Board, meaning we’ve turned this blog into a bit of code that can easily be embedded on any website or blog [...]
It was another early one for us this morning–maybe sometime in the next 12-15 years we’ll be able to sleep until AFTER the sun rises, but we’re not holding our breath.
Here’s a shot of the sunrise we watched near Galleron Road just on the outskirts of St. Helena on Saturday. It’s hard to make [...]
Reading Tom Wark’s blog post (err, rant) today over at Fermentation about comments from author James Conaway gave us a bit of a chuckle. Tom decided to call into question several quotes from Conaway that appeared in the Napa Valley Register from a recent talk he gave at the California Preservation Foundation Conference.

A combination of things led us to this post.
Last Friday afternoon, we were reading through some of the most recent comments on this here blog. It’s always interesting when comments appear on posts from several months ago, it makes us feel good, because it means that something we’ve written and forgotten about still resonates [...]
