I ran up to Napa for a few days to get away and taste some wines from places I'd never been (most of them). I went during BottleRock Napa, but alas, didn't partake in an y of those festivities.

Going to the Prager tasting room is a delight in and of itself. Aria is the first white port I have really enjoyed. With caramel and nutty notes layered over a mild acidic backbone, this wine is a perfect finish to a meal. Read More
