I have no idea how many wines I tasted yesterday. I started out the day so organized taking a picture of every label that I tasted but by noon (yes noon) it was too much to keep track of so I’ll just highlight a few of the rosés and leave the rest for another day. It was A Taste of Napa held as part of the Festival Del Sole at the old Copia building.
My favorite wine of the day was the Isabel Mondavi Deep Rosé. A rosé made from cabernet sauvignon from the Mondavi family. I must stop at the winery and pick up a few bottles of this great value $20 wine today as they are moving from the tasting room and don’t have a new spot yet!
My second favorite rosé was from Cairdean Vineyards. Never heard of them? Neither had I! They are in St. Helena where the old outlet mall used to be. With 62% cab it was another rosé that had a lot more flavor and structure than most. I can’t wait to check out their tasting room, restaurant and more of their wines!
Too many wines to count at Taste of Napa so we’ll call this #30 on week #28! Cheers!
