- About my company:
- We are a small boutique winery located in the eastern hills off of the Silverado Trail in Napa. We have been making wine for ourselves since 1995 but decided to go commercial in October 2007 since so many of our wine friends liked what we were producing for ourselves. We released our 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon last fall with only 300 cases produced. We make a Cab that doesn't have towering alcohols so it will not compete with food, but rather, compliment it. We like wines that age well but are drinkable now -- we actually drink our 1995 through 1997 for ourselves right now! The 2003 Cab is a full-bodied, 100% Cab that has been very well-received at recent pourings. Main thing is that we are having fun and enjoying the process of meeting new people who appreciate our wine!

Looking to buy cheap wine for China
Hello!
