Napa Valley day 2

We started today with a tour of the Trinchero Winery Bottling warehouse. We walked through the barrel room and saw the massive level of production they are working in. Our guide Rosie was quite a character, which always makes a tour more interesting and memorable. That or all the animals (mascots) that go along with most tasting rooms.


If you click on the video, you get a small idea of how loud it was. And they crank out some bottles.

After that came Peju, a new one to me, but one I will keep an I out for. Even if just for the fact that Alan, our taste pourer, was awesome. He is an older gentleman that comes off very professional and knowledgable, but as soon as he starts pouring it's a whole new person.

We were actually told about him by someone at the first winery we stopped at, I just didn't realize this was the guy. He told jokes and lymrics and actually rapped, complete with a little "scratch" pad.


He caught me off gaurd, I only caught the very end of one of his songs. The wines were really good to.

A slightly last minute stop at Frog's Leap.

Then to Ana's Cantina (probably one of the only bars in town) for a little local brew. I love Red Seal, and it was on tap.
Then we headed out to our reservation at Go Fish, another Cindy Pawlcyn restaurant in Napa, for sushi, oysters and sake.
