WineAddicts.com was started by a group of friends in San Francisco, California that share a love of Red wine - especially big full bodied reds. This website is a place where we can share information about our visits to local wine country (Napa & Sonoma) along with ratings on different wines from around the world. The rating system we use is a five point scale from DD (High), D, C, B, A (Low).

WineAddicts Trip to St Helena
Dec 28th, 2011
I really love going to Napa this time of the year. The colors are beautiful and the place is pretty empty so you generally have the wineries to yourself. Definitely the best time of the year in Napa!! We had a fantastic day out at Lewelling, Anomaly, Merus and Beringer; did not have a disappointing wine all day and got treated excellently in all locations!! Happy New Year!!

Dec 20th, 2011

Family Winemakers San Francisco
Aug 21st, 2011
Great day at Family Winemakers. A lot of great wine and a lot of not so great wine. The outstanding highlights for "wines drinking today" were the Meander 2006 Cabernet and the Pride 2008 Cabernet. The Donum Pinots were a stand-out. Always a fun day out

Sue's Birthday in Napa
Jan 15th, 2011
What a day. Started the day with some champagne followed by a great trip to Pride. Had a fantastic tasting with Scott. We found a great new winery called Meander Cellars at the bottom of Spring Mountain which we really enjoyed. Finished the day at Maisonry in Yountville followed by dinner and drinks at Bottega... Fun, fun, fun. Happy birthday Sue

Evening in Yountville
Dec 16th, 2010
A very decadent day in Napa Valley. An excellent tasting at Shafer followed by dinner at The French Laundry. Wow!! Extremely expensive but if you get a chance it is an unbelieveable dining experience. You definitely could not afford to do it too often though

Appellation St Helena Tasting (more...)
Nov 3rd, 2010
Great tasting at the Appellation St Helena media tasting at the Rudd Center in the Culinary Institute. We had already been very impressed with the 2007 vintage from Napa Valley, and this tasting gave us an opportunity to try a variety of 2007 wines; very impressive all around. Five flights of wine altogether. Unfortunately we missed the first 2 flights but were very impressed with what we did get to try.

Oct 30th, 2010

Vineyard 29 Summer Party
Jul 31st, 2010
A great day out at Vineyard 29 in St Helena. They were pouring the very good 2007 Cru Cabernet Sauvignon along with a pre-release sampling of the 2008 Cru and a barrel tasting of the 2009 Cru. Nice food, good wine and music. We're looking forward to trying their estate Cabs next!!!
