Just got back from this year's Napa Adventure. Attended this time with our good friends the Sachs and the Roberts. Started the trip as usual with a champagne toast at Domaine Carneros, left with a double magnum, not sure when we will pop that one open, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Finally, after many attempsthis trip we were able to arrange a tasting and tour of
Palmaz Vineyards.
I have been wanting to tour this place since reading their story a few years back. It was an awesome tasting, with an amazing food bite accompaniment. The food pairing was so impressive, we had no choice but to buy the Palmaz family cookbook. Palmaz's story of American entrepreneurship and winery founding is not singular in the valley, but Dr. Palmaz's invention of the heart stint, is certainly unique. The ultimate gravity fed wine process is on display and not sure how much that plays into the final product, but the wine does not disappoint. We had an amazing Cabernet among others and the group was also impressed with the label design, which to me was a first. Next time your in the valley, try to get into this place, you'll love it!
