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). Divide and conquerMay 2nd, 2009 Addicts split up for the weekend to cover tastings North and South. Wine festival in Paso Robles and Duckhorn open house in Napa. Sonoma Superstars Tasting Feb 19th, 2009 Attended the Sonoma Superstars event in SOMA, lots of Pinots, Chards and a few Cabs and Zins. Our favourites of the night came from Fort Ross winery. ZAP Tasting 2009 Jan 31st, 2009 First time at the Zinfandel Appreciation event at Fort Mason in San Francisco. Hundreds of people, over 300 wineries poured a selection of Zins. The vent filled two of the pavilions at Fort Mason. We got there early and managed to set a wineaddicts record of 100 tastings in a day. Holiday Tastings Dec 30th, 2008 Quick visit to the wineries during the holiday break. Some good finds during a quiet time at the wineries including Maisonry and Girard Xmas Season arrives Dec 13th, 2008  Wine and Cheese bonanza - 1999 horizontal, with some old favourites and new tipples. 70s Dinner Oct 27th, 2008 A special tasting at Four Seasons in Palo Alto that included several 1970 Bordeaux and 1994 Harlan. Beringer Cellar Sale Oct 25th, 2008 Twice a year Beringer open the cellar doors to members and public as they clear space by offering substantial discounts on current and vintage wines. We had an opportunity to taste a mini vertical of Private Reserve before purchasing the 1995 and 1997 - great wines that still have time to develop. Coach Trip with the family Oct 11th, 2008 Our friend Deanna organized a coach trip with parents and friends - Chandon, Sullivan, Diamond Oaks and Beringer. Beringer was a late add with the ever hospitable Carlos due to a local fire canceling our final wine stop of the day. Two new Wineries Aug 30th, 2008 Tried out two new wineries in Napa: Reynolds Family and Signorello 2008 Family Winemakers Aug 24th, 2008 Another year, another vast selection of great wines. This was the first time for Jules, and he was pleasantly surprised. Looking south Jul 16th, 2008 We tasted at Uncorked Event's South American tasting.
