  Rustridge Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Estate Bottled 1997

  Snoothrank:

  The century-old vineyards of Chiles Valley have survived largely due to their extremely isolated location, tucked away in the Vaca Mountain range far east of the Napa Valley floor. This isolation has kept them safe from Phylloxera and other events that have scourged the Napa Valley over the past 100 years. Esteemed wineries that you know such as... Read More

  I recently had this wine at an Olive Garden that I have been trying to find. I thought maybe I could find it else where for cheaper. I did not think it was a house wine but after searching for it I cannot find it anywhere. I then went to look on their website to see what they had it listed as in case I was searching wrong or something and it is ... Read More

  We will be visiting Sonoma County in a few weeks for a little R&R and I wanted to get some ideas of wineries to visit.  This is our first visit to Sonoma so we are a blank slate and have to rely on the typical visitor’s books or our guide book, which is pretty old.  So any recommendations are appreciated, regardless of whether they are big or sm...

Thanks, and really appreciate any advice.  This might not be wh... Read More

  Living in Sonoma County my cellar is pretty Cali-Centric. I mean in an earthquake it just may break off and fall into the Pacific Ocean. So tonight I'm going with something completely different. I picked up an El Nido Clio 2008 that I'm giving a test drive to see if I want more. Anything other than California wine or Rhones and I am treading on ... Read More
