I swore that I was not going to revise our trip again . . . guess what? A last minute revision. I was looking at the map I printed from NapaValley.com and our Saturday itinerary. We had a tasting or two in the Stags Leap District where Cabs are KING. What an opportunity to taste and compare several Stags Leap Cabs, so I just started on the south end of the Stags Leap District on the Silverado Trail and will go north. This time we will only taste at those wineries that are open to the public. So, here is our list, starting on the southern end.SIGNORELLO ESTATE
BROOKDALE VINEYARDS
CLOS du VAL
CHIMNEY ROCK
REGUSCI
STAGS LEAP WINE CELLARS
PINE RIDGE
We will do as many of these as possible up until 2:00 PM when we have an appointment at Baldacci, which is one of my favorite Napa Valley wineries. After Baldacci, we will check into Raymond Vineyards. We recently had one of their lower end Cabs that was just not too bad.
On another trip (maybe October) I will make appointments at the other Stags Leap wineries Hartwell, Steltzner, Stags Leap Winery, Robinson, Shafer and Robert Sinskey.
These will all be new to us since we tend to taste further north on the Silverado Trail.
According to the Weather Channel, it looks like we will have rain most of the week that we are there. Bummer!
Wow, my taste buds are in anticipation. Cheers!
