I wish I would've gotten something special for my occasion while there. Like a signed bottle or something marking the special occasion. It was just the perfect experience all the way around. interesting that it was also the 50th anniversary of the Chardonnay that made Chateau Montelena & Napa Valley famous. Of course, we checked out and bought 2 bottles of reds at the end of the tasting without even thinking about buying the white. So disappointed that didn't occur to me to this morning. I mean the red cab's are just to amazing on there own. Ok so here is how the visit went. When we showed up early at 9:30am, we actually meant to just walk around the lake and view the birds. We made no reservations as we figured the place was fully booked for months. So we just wanted to at least see the famous vineyard.. we drove up and we immediately noticed the beautiful grounds. I mean stunning in every way. We even watched and photographed a beautiful white swan gracefully move throughout the lake. Afterwards, we walked up the path to the chateau and was presented with a old historic and charming building residence. Absolutely stunning, a complete representation of the movie bottle shock. We continued to walk around the building where we were allowed to enter the wine tasting room. At first, we were unsure of what to expect. I believe her name was Lynn invited us to have a tasting. Everyone was so gracious and nice. Just felt so sophisticated & elegant in every way. Lynn was so nice and inviting that I just wanted to say thanks to her again. You made our tasting feel amazing. We ended up buying 2 bottles of red cab when we were there to avoid paying for the tasting. I mean I'm so happy that I got to experience this winery. The history and quality wine making really is the standard for the area. A complete must visit if your ever in Calistoga. Thank you.

They are a small operation and the wine tasting experience is more akin to a wonderful little picnic at a friend's home than a carefully scripted sales pitch like most of the other large wineries. We started with a refreshing chilled glass of Sauvignon blanc and a stroll through their beautiful property. It was a joy listening to our hostess Kerry (co owner and wife of Tom Eddy) recall the story of how they started their winery. We took a tour through their wine cave and then looped back to their home. We had some light snacks and tasted several of their wonderful wines. All the wines we tasted were amazing and we left with significantly lighter wallets. They have some "reasonably" priced wines at 25-60 dollars but a large portion of their selection are in the 100+ category. It's not for everyone but if you can swing it, I definitely recommend picking up a couple bottles of their delicious Cabernets.

We finally found Santa, who was not only the most reasonably priced but also provided good feedback when we outlined a proposed tour.

Santa was entertaining and informative, and it was clear from his interactions with the various vineyard staff that he was a known character which helped us (managed to alter some times on the fly).
