Tasting Notes ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​
​Zoltan is here this Friday to pour some Napa Valley wines. Did you know that approximately 20% of the value of all California wines come from Napa Valley, although it represents only 4% of the overall volume of wine produced by the State. In other words, wine from Napa tends to sell for a premium, based, in part, on its superior quality (and higher production costs), prestige, and brand reputation. But the word "premium" is relative, as two of the wines we will be enjoying this Friday (and possibly Saturday) are priced in the 20s, with some more aggressive pricing for the other two wines (but, in our opinion, well worth every extra penny). The wines we will be pouring are as follows:
​
Round Pond, Estate Sauvignon Blanc (Rutherford) 2024
​
Elizabeth Rose, Organic Chardonnay 2023
​
Round Pond, Kith & Kin Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
​
Stewart, Tartan (Red Blend) 2021​​​​​​​​​​
