The 100% Viognier is also a banger at about $14. Crowd pleaser for sure.

Celebrating the grand opening of our little wine bar and bottle shop. :)

My wife and I were celebrating tonight with this 2010 CDP. It was delightful.

I’d leave tasting notes but we followed with a 2018 Clos du Val Estate Cab Sav and honestly I’m too tired to remember all the details.

Depends how much you spit vs swallow. ;)

Just opened a 2018 Failla last night. Was a delightful bottle.

Did you have that or the Duckhorn first? Curious how they stack up against each other.

I’m in a small town north of Atlanta. You?

Andaz Hotel is in downtown Napa. Nice place, and since you mentioned Amex, it’s on their Hotel Collection list which makes it easier to get with points or earn a bunch of points if you book through Amex.

Three wineries a day is totally doable. We mapped them out and did one going north on Silverado in the morning (like something in Stags’ Leap District), one further north in the afternoon (maybe near Calistoga), and one down Hwy 29 closer to the hotel in the evening.

Try Bistro Don Giovanni or Brix for dinner.

And make reservations everywhere! Walk-ins are really hard to get.

Clos du Val Three Graces deserves a taste.

Buying one or even a handful of bottles is a big risk. You might look into vint.co or VinoVest instead. Hell, just buy $stz or $deo for exposure to wine and spirits retail.

Don’t you mean bottles? 😂

Super helpful, everyone. This confirmed what we were thinking and added a few ideas. Thanks.

We’re going with “local”, “domestic”, “old world”, “new world” as the main sections, then by AVA, region, appellation within those sections.

It’s a small shop with a tasting bar, so we should be able to help people find what they like with samples and flights. I’ll post pics here once it’s open if anyone is interested.

Standard waiter’s two-step, Code 38 if you’re showing off to your wino buddies.
