Tips from the community
Chateau Montelena is the winery that put Napa, CA on the map as a winemaking area. It's Chardonnay (along with a Stag's Leap Cabernet) won a blind taste test of some of France's best sommeliers in 1976 which has become known as the "Judgement of Paris". Our tasting expert was very knowledgeable and personable as we found out that we were both from the same area! You never know who you'll meet!

My Napa Valley Wine Tour
mustangdmv (Danielle Call) I recently visited Napa Valley and got so many recommendations from friends about which wineries to visit! Here I share some of my favorite Napa wineries both in the valley and in downtown Napa. I definitely recommend looking into the Priority Wine Pass. There are so many wineries that have deals and discounts through the pass that it would be silly not to invest in it.
