While visiting Fort Worth, my friends and I had the opportunity to try Cade wine at dinner, and it was exceptional. It was so smooth and beautifully balanced that I made a point of visiting the winery while I was working in Napa so I could purchase a case to share with friends at an upcoming celebration. The winery itself is absolutely beautiful, perched on a hillside with stunning views. Unfortunately, the customer service did not match the quality of the wine. When I arrived, I followed the sign instructing guests to wait to be seated. I stood there for about ten minutes while an employee made eye contact with me multiple times and walked past without acknowledging me or even offering a simple "I'll be right with you." Eventually, I walked inside and was greeted with, "Are you here to buy some wine?" The interaction felt dismissive from the start. I explained that I wanted to purchase either six or twelve bottles of Cade. Before I had even decided, I was immediately quoted pricing in a way that made me feel as though it was being assumed I couldn't afford the wine. When I responded that I would take a full case, the tone of the conversation changed completely. Suddenly I was warmly invited to stay for a tasting. I left with the wine because I truly love it, but I also left feeling judged based on my appearance. I had stopped in while working and was wearing jeans, a work polo, tennis shoes, and driving an older work vehicle. Whether intentional or not, the experience made me feel that I wasn't considered the "right" customer until it became clear I was making a significant purchase. Cade produces an outstanding wine, and I sincerely hope every guest is greeted with the same warmth and respect--regardless of how they're dressed or what they're driving. Great hospitality should begin the moment someone walks through the door, not after they've opened their wallet.

If I could give Clos Pegase more than five stars, I would. This has been my all-time favorite…read morewinery since my very first visit in 2017, and we've proudly been wine club members ever since. One of the things I love most about Clos Pegase is that it's so much more than a winery--it's where wine, art, and architecture come together. The estate was originally designed by renowned postmodern architect Michael Graves, who envisioned it as both a winery and an art museum. After the recent restoration, they beautifully brought back his original vision, restoring the warm Mediterranean-inspired colors and architectural details that make this place unlike anywhere else in Napa. If you appreciate interior design, you'll be in heaven. Every room is thoughtfully curated, from the beautiful furnishings and artwork to the intricate bathroom tile. The winery feels like you're walking through a contemporary art gallery, with incredible pieces displayed throughout the property--many of which are available for purchase. Don't miss the HOMMAGE Artist Series gallery while you're there. One of my favorite spaces is the members-only dining room. The dramatic chandelier hanging above the communal table reminds me of the iconic wrecking ball from Game of Thrones (in the best way possible!). They even partnered with Game of Thrones for a special wine release years ago, which made the experience even more memorable. Of course, the wine is why we continue coming back. My absolute favorite is the Blanc de Noir Sparkling Wine from Mitsuko's Vineyard in Carneros. It's crisp, refreshing, and perfect on a warm Napa afternoon. Their Sauvignon Blanc is another favorite that I never leave without, and they also make wonderful dessert wines. I tend to gravitate toward whites, rosés, and sparkling wines, but if you're a red wine lover, you absolutely won't be disappointed either. One of the biggest reasons we've remained members for so many years is how well they treat their wine club members. We've attended their annual crab feed along with several other exclusive member events, and every experience has been exceptional. It truly feels like being part of a community rather than just another wine club. Clos Pegase is one of those rare places that continues to impress me every single visit. Whether you're passionate about wine, architecture, art, or simply looking for one of the most beautiful wineries in Napa Valley, this is an absolute must-visit. It's a place I recommend over and over again and one I'll continue returning to for many years to come.

The renovated grounds and tasting room are very nice but that's about the only good things I can…read moresay about our experience. The wines are mediocre at best. Our host was very disinterested and uninformative about the wines. It seemed as though she was trying to get us to leave. The tasting only lasted about 45 minutes. Two members of our party arrived a little early for the tasting but weren't allowed to sit at the table that was already made up for us but had to sit inside until we all arrived. It's very obvious that this is a corporate owned winery and not very focused on providing a pleasant tasting experience. There are so many great family owned wineries in Napa, but unfortunately this is not one of them. Don't waste your time with a tasting here.

The tasting experience is unlike most others in Napa; they only host one group at a time, which makes it feel intimate and personal. We started with two whites -- one still and one bubbly -- and then got a full walk-through of the facility. Demi shared so much insight into their process, and we actually learned a ton about winemaking. The reds were incredible, and he made the tasting super fun while helping us understand how each varietal differs. We ended up becoming members because of how well-crafted their wines are and how much care goes into their production. All of their vineyards are fully certified organic, so you know exactly what's going into every bottle. It's a beautiful property tucked away from the busier parts of downtown Napa -- peaceful, scenic, and absolutely worth the visit. I couldn't recommend Neil Family Winery more highly!

Outstanding Wine Tasting In A Cave!…read more SITREP My dear friend Jennifer - one of my true wine connoisseur friends - has made an appointment with the good people at Chateau Boswell, since it is a winery you can see by appointment only. And it is truly an outstanding experience. THE SETUP We actually arrived to Chateau Boswell in Saint Helena (from Sacramento) about 60 minutes before our appointment, but we were received warmly and were able to engage in our truly unique and fun wine tasting experience right away! Chateau Boswell is on the Silverado Trail side of the Napa Valley - not on the HWY 29 side of the valley - so it will be a pleasant drive away from most of the tourist traffic. MATT SIMPSON Marketing Expert, Wine Docent, Vintologist Extraordinaire, and Napa & Sonoma Valley (and European AND Chinese AND South American, etc. etc.) Wine Region expert, Matt is definitely the best "go to" guy you could ask about wine - it's acidity levels, it's pairing with foods, what vines we could grow in our backyard in Sacramento, etc. etc. - and so we were lucky from the start to get his one-man history lessons filtered through the most hiLARious stand-up comic. IN A CAVE Matt guided us through what can only be described as a cave in the hillside of where the Chateau Boswell winery is, and THAT was fun! We went through the labyrinth of several different well-lighted & interior-altered tunnels of this wonderful cave, seeing rows upon rows upon rows, levels upon levels upon levels of the vintage barrels all stacked up nicely & neatly. The white wines were in uniformly plain barrels. The red wine barrels had a giant band of red coloring around their perimeters. [As part of the due diligent maintenance of the storage areas, I found it interesting to see the ultra-violet bug zappers were uniformly distributed throughout the cave, zapping any of the small groups fruit-flies that might sprout up because of the sugars that might excrete from the barrels and dripped onto the ground where the little gnatty creatures liked to congregate.] CAVE-TASTING It was so much fun to be in what can only be described as our own special alcove in the cave, with a wine-barrel with glass-top serving as our wine-tasting station. It is here where Matt delivered some of the most incredible wine knowledge I've gotten to date about the current state of the wine industry, comparing ours to the burgeoning development going on with China's wine industry, all while serving us up some excellent glasses of Chateau Boswell wine. The white Jacquelynn Cuvée Blanc was decidedly by far my most favorite of the bunch we tried, with it's light dry taste and an excellent light-fruity finish, though the red Cabernet was rich with fruity notes that I enjoyed too. The wines are not cheap, and will run you between $50 - $150 a bottle. But if you are truly a wine connoisseur, you are bound to find a unique and quality red or white in this winery that you will truly enjoy. THE LOWDOWN An excellent wine-excursion stop in Napa Valley along the Silverado Trail.

All vineyards desire to distinguish themselves from their competitors and Markham has certainly accomplished their goal. Set apart from other vineyard reservations, we entered the threshold, announced ourselves and were immediately handed complementary glasses of wine as if we were the owners. The vineyard houses plenty of onsite parking and both indoor and outdoor areas. They accommodate and offer various tasting experiences for all of their patrons but I highly recommend reserving their highest tier...The Cabernet Connoisseur's Experience. If one is to taste wine, why not do so next to their barrel room itself? An understatement for our overall experience was to say that it was excellent. Scotty was our Liaison and was wonderful. The wines that were presented before us were the finest wines each giving us the desire for more. Somehow, they have taken the experience of the perfect Sunset and placed the experience in each bottle. I am quite familiar with tastings. There was a winery that I thought was my winery for it was the pentacle of my experience. I was in error for it has been replaced. My winery is now Markham Vineyards and if you want to experience the grand euphoric nature of wineries, travel to St Helena to Markham and search for a man named... Scotty.
