Another Romp through Napa/Sonoma

[TheEngineer]

Had a few hours after work on Friday so I drove up to a few wineries. In addition to Cakebread which I had visited last time, I also went to...

(1) Napa Valley Wine Co (which had a bunch of wines from a bunch of makers)
(2) Krug
(3) The Culinary Institute of America,
(4) Simi
(5) Seghesio
(6) Clos La Chance (on another day)

It's amazing how much space you can get when there is no one else there. The roads were just empty. I would have loved to have a Miata or an Elise on 128 North of Napa! The roads are nicely twisted.

Enjoyed them all but Seghesio wins on the tasting experience on the sheer effort of their staff while Clos La Chance (which had the nicest property of the group by far), was dead last. Their staff did not want to serve us 20 minutes prior to the close of tasting and then forgot all about us. I realized that it was close to closing but it they only poured, then we would have left.

Tasting notes to follow.
