I’m delighted and honored to have been invited by Mike, and I haven’t been very good about participating yet 🙁 Too much work, too much grey weather here, too distracted.
However – this must change! Living in the Napa/Solano area means it is easy to visit wineries outside the context of a holiday. In fact, there are many wineries I’ve driven past for years because I take them for granted. Silly me.
As spring soon explodes, it will be time to catch up with those places I’ve missed and this blog is a catalyst to share those experiences.
Cheers!
Give me a heads-up if you’re going to spend a day tasting, Dana. Baby permitting, I might be able to meet up with you somewhere…

I had a taste of California grey weather last january in San Diego. Unbelievable.
Don’t feel so bad, here in Provence, right on the Mediterranean coast, we had SNOW yesterday, and our lemon tree is not looking very happy after two night below 0°C…
But judging from the cat’s behaviour, spring is in the air… and that means tasting some of the 2004 wines, tonight a rosé syrah amde entirely by hand and vinified in barriques from Côtes de Provence, by Dupéré-Barrera. Not your typical local pink…
All the best
Mike
