mike,

Wine tasting is better in the Santa Cruz mountains than Napa to tell you the truth. You can go to Testarossa, Ridge, Savanahh-Chanelle, and Pachetti in one day. All this is 15 minutes from Bay 101. It doesn't get any better than this, and yes, I'll be in for sure.

Sucker.

D,

Great read - making me very excited for when the Mrs. and I make our yearly trip out to SF and Napa. Sounds like Darioush has upped the ante even since I've been there. What a shame. When T and I went it was 15$ for the Cab, Chardonnay, Syrah and a Pinot if I'm not mistaken. The Cab was also 62$ then, and while a ripoff, was a sick bottle nonetheless.

I could drink that Miner Sangiovese with every meal - that was definitely our favorite wine from our Napa trip. And for 24$? Yowza. They're giving it away. I think we're going to have a case ordered when we come out in April/May. Excited to read about your most recent trip - definitely bookmarking this thread and hitting some of these ones I haven't been to when we come. Count down the days my friend - maybe this time you can join us when we head up there!
