Breakfast at Peju!  Napa Valley Vintners kicked off their first ever Morning in the Winery event offering Napa residents a peak behind the scenes at five local wineries.  A few friends joined in to be at Peju at 10am to start the day with a taste of their 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon!  Then off in the misty rain to do a quick tour of this family winery with the one of the winemakers.  We were then treated to more tastings upstairs and were introduced to their “patio pounder” called Provence which was an interesting blend of red and white grapes.  Their 2010 Merlot was wonderful and I had to take advantage of their special Napa Neighbors sale for the day!

Next on to Trefethen!  We started with a barrel tasting of their 2013 Chardonnay then upstairs to try their 2012 Pinot Noir.  Lovely but at $45 a bottle I decided to save my pennies on this rainy day as there are still 48 more wineries to check out this year!

Week 2 +2 new wineries.

4 new wineries so far this year!

Cheers!
