Premiere Napa Valley, February 21-23, 2008

Well, we just got back from Premiere Napa Valley 2008. Work, work, work, work, work. What I have to go through to keep my customers informed. Try 2 and ½ days in Napa with Dave, Robert, Durrell, Stiggo, Chip and Rick at a breakneck pace and it almost feels like work when you look at the schedule we keep. So far, nobody is giving me any sympathy and none is needed. 

We experienced some of the most wonderful hospitality you could get anywhere. Great wine, great food and great people. When you travel with David Dobbs (AKA the Mayor of Napa) you can really get a lot done and have a lot of laughs. 

We really came up with some great finds from both familiar and new faces and as these new release start to trickle in we will be writing about them and making recommendations. For now, I’d just like to express my appreciation to our friends and hosts up in Napa for making us feel so welcome.

Many thanks to our gracious hosts, The nascent Linda and Leighton Taylor of Cloud View Winery. Go Apaches!!!

Thanks to Doug Stanton of Stanton Vineyards, Holly Anderson from Vineyard 29, Tom, Susie and the girls from Robinson Family Vineyards, David and Kimberly from Sheverick Jones, The whole gang at Flora Springs, Joel Gott and David Greene, David Phinney and his great new releases, Mac Watson from Macauley Vineyards and all the old and new friends we met up with at this years P.N.V. 

Look forward to telling you a little more about the new releases real soon. 

Wine not Whine,
