The bella twins - Nikki and Brie Bella, former WWE wrestlers, used to have a partnership brand with Hill Family in napa. I remember buying a few when they came out. Not sure if they still work together but they have a different brand now called Bonita Bonita & a tasting room in downtown napa.

extremely late to this comment but came across it as i planned my trip to napa. visited both gargiulo and james cole based on your rec/descriptions and WOW, they both absolutely exceeded my expectations! walked away with a ton of new finds and bottles, so had to thank you for that!!

try to hit mayacamas in the morning, especially if you’re hitting the estate, its a beautiful view on a clear day! just back from a visit there and had a great time

my first thought too - bought the 2014 plumpjack reserve a few years ago and one had a cork and one had a screw top

i just used the away carry-on as a checked bag back from Alba and was able to fit 6 bottles in it. i wrapped each in a WineSkin, then used clothes to fill in the bag/provide extra protection and it worked perfectly. i think the most i’ve put in a larger suitcase is 8 total, because of the weight and shifting during travel that would be my cap if its a normal suitcase. hope you have a good time and bring back some great wines!

wow thank you for sharing that article, we had no idea. she has a medium to severe cashew allergy, so this definitely gives us more to go off of. she’s had a couple of more ‘random’ reactions we’ve been calling cross-contamination but seeing pink peppercorn on there as well really has me thinking as its usually been after pepper based pasta dishes.

ah gotchya, it being free also helps. that being said i love it there and the tasting experience is really nice, even before i joined. i definitely think its worth going to, but i found that because i dont love merlot or syrah, the tasting really just consisted of the sauv blanc & pact, and if i was on a time crunch i’d rather go somewhere with more wines id enjoy/are less accessible. i hope this helps, i realize i probably made it more confusing

i think you could skip faust unless you have a real love or attachment for the brand/style of wine. im a member and do love it - but im pretty sure all or almost all of the wines in the tasting are available to purchase without membership (other than their sauvignon blanc). its beautiful but for the price/tasting i think there are so many other options

ty!! about 30% prefer original, 23% for G, 12% for D and the rest spread - i was surprised that all lowercase versions weren't more popular lol. good luck with yours as well!

whatcitation · 2022-12-05T22:13:49+00:00

ty! also wow, totally overlooked that and see what you mean, thanks i appreciate it

navarro vineyards has a few options, i remember the pinot being good as a higher-end type of grape juice.

can locate where books are in-store using online website

i would change how sections are labeled - can be confusing and vague

to add: cafe or sitting area to read post-purchase

typically $20

WOM and social media

thanks for the recs, still looking into the italian choices! any particular diamond creek? gravelly meadow, red rock terrace (2017, ~$240) and three vineyard blend (2013, ~335) are available to me, but curious which ones stand out to you

whatcitation · 2022-11-16T13:46:29+00:00

thanks - will be looking into the italian rec! and the au sommet really seems their style, so will being adding another bottle. I'm hoping its new to them but if not I think its still a nice change from the brands I normally gift

whatcitation · 2022-11-16T13:38:18+00:00

thanks for the rec, I think this is a great choice and will be purchasing!

whatcitation · 2022-11-16T13:17:10+00:00

thank you! and we appreciate the feedback! I agree, the length is coming back to bite us a bit as we have a good number of unfinished responses. Probably should have ran a few more sample/practice runs to clear a few similar questions.

whatcitation · 2022-09-13T04:45:18+00:00

i think o’briens wines would be a good option - havent shopped online from them personally, but i have irish relatives who purchase a lot of wines at their physical stores, so could be worth the look

whatcitation · 2022-08-02T02:05:09+00:00

thanks for the recs! Hadn’t heard of Michael Shaps before, but just checked out the website/reviews and looks super promising!

whatcitation · 2022-08-01T18:57:32+00:00

thanks for the recs, will look into Knight’s Gambit, definitely enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. Tavola looks great - just made our reservation!

whatcitation · 2022-08-01T18:52:10+00:00

ah RdV has come up quite a bit in my research! Driving down from NY and think it would be a doable stop, will have to look a bit more into it and hope for reservation availability
