A Wine(keh)-Tasting Experience

The best wine is the oldest, the best water the newest.

 

~ William Blake (English visionary Mystic, Poet, Painter and Engraver. 1757-1827)

 

My last sip from a variety of wine at the tasting room in Castello di Amorosa. Napa Valley tour ain't complete without the wine-tasting experience. I was lucky I have a friend who gave me a crash course on wine-tasting. 'Twas a great experience worth coming back!

 

Castello di Amorosa is the crowning achievement of California vintner Daryl Sattui, owner of the Sattui Winery in St. Helena. Located just south of the geysers in Calistoga, CA., the castle is a crenellated stone fortress complete with guard towers, escape tunnels, a moat, and a grand hall adorned with colorful frescoes.

 

HBW! Cheers!

 

Napa Valley, California
