Napa and Sonoma Wine and Winery Reviews Over 100 winery and 1000 wine reviews 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 HelenaDec 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!! Howell Mountain Visit Dec 20th, 2011 Went to Howell Mountain to sample Seavey and Conn Valley (again). Had a fantastic time at both. Followed up by a few samples at Maisonry in Yountville Company Wine Trip to Sonoma Dec 15th, 2011 Took 30 people on a corporate event to Sonoma from San Francisco. Blending class at Ravenswood, lunch at Nickolson Ranch and bocce and vino at Ledson. All followed up by dinner at Sonoma plaza. Another excellent day in wine country! Halloween Wine Limo Oct 29th, 2011 Another great trip to wine country with friends, this time in a limo in costume. The theme was '80s. Hilarious day and great visits to Etude, O'Brien, Sojourn and Michael Mondavi WineAddicts organize another successful company wine trip Sep 9th, 2011 Took the executive teams from two companies around Napa for a very successful and enjoyable day at some fantastic wineries. 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 Surprise Napa Limo Trip with Friends Jul 16th, 2011 Sue surprised me with a group of friends and a limo for a day of wine tasting at David Fulton, Seavey and B Cellars. Followed by a night of drinking in Calistoga. Made for a 3 day hangover!! Shane 40th Birthday Weekend In Napa Jul 15th, 2011 Spent my 40th birthday touring around Napa, hitting some new wineries and some old favorites. Had excellent tastings at Sodaro, Arrow & Branch, Behrens & Hitchcock and Beringer Private Tasting at Conn Valley Vineyards May 28th, 2011 Still raining in May!! Thought today would be a nice sunny day in Napa. Got that wrong. Lots of rain but had a great tasting at Conn Valley in Howell Mountain Clos Pegase - Wine Cave Dinner May 24th, 2011 Lobster dinner in the wine cave at Clos Pegase with approx 100 work colleagues. Really great time eating with our hands and drinking lots of vino 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. Ian's 40th Birthday Wine Trip Oct 30th, 2010 For Ian's 40th we took a bus to Napa for some wine tastings. Champagne on the bus, Beringer for the morning and Del Dotto cave tour in the afternoon. Great day and happy birthday Iano!! 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!!! |
