Notable Napa Wines


Many of the Frank Family wines are small lot wines sold mostly at the winery, or
in select bottle shops and restaurants. Hard to find, so take advantage of your
visit to experience several outstanding examples of wines produced in Napas
finest growing regions.
The Napa Valley collection might well be called the Neighbors Collection, with
fruit sourced not only from the familys 380 acres of estate vineyards, but
outstanding friends and neighboring growers like the legendary Sangiacomo and
Beckstoffer families, and the Red Barn and Quarry vineyards.
At the Reserve level, often praised by critics, lots range from a little more than
12 barrels to a still stingy 3,000 cases, and are focused on the finest fruit from
the Winston Hill, Lewis, S&J and Benjamin Vineyards. During your tasting, all
levels of wine knowledge and interest are appreciated, and your host will tailor
the presentation as you direct.
Tasting in the Craftsman house is an intimate affair, with tastings held in several
rooms that once served an even more familial purpose. But when youre here,
youre part of the Frank family, so relax, have fun and enjoy the experience. This
is, after all, the Napa you were probably seeking.

Castello di Amorosa A Slice of Midievel Europe in the Napa Valley


Take it from me, you really dont want to miss this place it
is absolutely magical! Call ahead for an appointment and plan
to spend at least two and a half hours immersed in the magic of
castles, dungeons, knights in shining armor, and the all-around
grandeur of the past, coupled with learning about modern
winemaking techniques and tasting delicious wines. Its the
perfect blend of fascinating history and a beautiful state-of-the-
art winery.

When Dario Sattui Dreams, He Dreams Big!


When Dario Sattui, a fourth generation winemaker and
owner of V. Sattui Winery in St. Helena has a dream, he dreams
big. Castello di Amorosa is a huge labor of Sattuis love, which
took decades of research and over 14 years to build. It is an
authentically styled, 13th century castle (and winery), complete
with high walls (its 8 stories 4 above ground and 4 below
ground!), five defensive towers, and over 30 acres of estate
vineyards, which are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,
Primitivo and Sangiovese vines. .
The Castello (and its winery) include 136,000 square feet, 107
rooms, 8,000 tons of hand-squared stone, 900 linear feet of caves,
a great hall with two-story Italian frescoes, defensive fortifications
(complete with arrow slits), ramparts, a drawbridge and a moat.
They are ready for any trebuchet seige! The Castello also has a
dungeon and torture chamber, secret passageways, courtyards,
loggias, a church and stables. There is even an ancient wine press
and an outdoor oven for making bread. Chickens and goats roam
about outside, just as they would have in the 13th century.

Stags Leap Districts


Vineyard to Vintner Weekend
Each year, member wineries of the Stags Leap District Winegrowers open
their doors for one weekend to give visitors exclusive access to their wines,
their vineyards and the people behind this iconic wine region. Vineyard
to Vintner is a weekend of intimate opportunities to taste world renowned
Cabernets while mingling with winery owners and winemakers. Visitors are
given personal and backstage access to private homes and historic wineries,
with private tours, barrel tastings and food pairings, all set amongst the
glorious vineyards and billowing Palisades of the Stags Leap District. Simply
put, this annual weekend is packed with experiences that visitors cant find
anywhere else.
Vineyard to Vintner commences Friday night with four distinct dinners.
Each 45-person dinner is co-hosted by several vintners and is prepared by a
famed Napa Valley culinary talent. The 2017 Friday dinner venues include
Cliff Lede Vineyards, Clos Du Val, Shafer Vineyards, Silverado Vineyards
and Stags Leap Winery. Co-hosts dig deep into their cellars to share their
most cherished library wines for this food and wine experience.
On Saturday, individual winery open houses provide the ultimate back-
stage pass to the associations member wineries. Guests spend the day
up close and personal with vintners, visiting private homes and historic
wineries alike, while enjoying special access to wines and food pairings that
are not available to the general public.
The Vineyard to Vintner weekend concludes Sunday with a fabulous,
vintner-hosted farm-to-table buffet lunch amid the sprawling acres of
majestic views at Regusci Winery Ranch. Guests also taste a sneak preview
of the not-yet-released 2014 Stags Leap District Appellation Collection.
Vineyard to Vintner hosts include: Baldacci Family Vineyards, Chimney
Rock Winery, Cliff Lede Vineyards, Clos Du Val, Ilsley Vineyards, Lindstrom
Wines, Malk Family Vineyards, Odette Estate, Pine Ridge Vineyards,
Quixote Winery, Regusci Winery, Shafer Vineyards, Silverado Vineyards,
Stags Leap Wine Cellars, Stags Leap Winery, Steltzner Vineyards, and Taylor
Family Vineyards. Packages are available for one, two or three days allowing
guests to experience the entire weekend or to enjoy one glorious day.
Vineyard to Vintner is truly an exclusive opportunity to taste and
discover the Stags Leap Districts distinctive and iconic wines, as well as
to meet the talent behind these wines. Its a weekend that Cabernet lovers
and appellation loyalists look forward to year after year. You can find more
information and purchase tickets, at www.stagsleapdistrict.com/V2V.

750 ml of wine which is 25.6 ounces made One standard oak barrel of wine holds:
from about 2.4 pounds of grapes (39 oz.) and 295 bottles of wine (or 59 gallons)

which works out to almost
but not precisely 24 cases of wine.

a dozen 750 ml bottles

farming and winemaking practices, and on the varietal and the vineyard
location) which will give you 797 gallons of juice (or thirteen-and-a-half
barrels) which is pretty close to four thousand bottles of wine.
