Our Mission

Robert Mondavi opened his winery and one after anotherothers followed suit. Today Highway 29 is a veritable winery row and the Napa Valley has gone from one wine growing region to 14 and soon to be 15 with the addition of Calistoga as an Appellation.

Wine Blog Awards
Well it seems that there are many bloggers out there that are upset about these wine blog awards.
I am surprised that so many are so competitive about these awards that Tom made up to give some credit to those that are winners.
Personally, I do this blog because I love it and I do not worry too much about being awarded. My readers are a reward in themselves, I never thought anyone would read my articles. I did this blog to retain and gain clients that want to do wine… Continue

Abdi Humphries said… - Mark, abdi is short for Adiel, which in arabic, means "He who loves God". In Hebrew, I understand it means "slave of God". I look forward to meeting you in the near future. Are you coming out to Wine 2.0 in NY on Sept. 18th?

Casidy Ward said… - Hi Mark, It is pretty land out there. We can see Sugarloaf and Spring Mountain from the vineyard. We grow 55 acres of cabernet sauvignon along with 1000 vines of petit verdot. Some of the 21 blocks are planted up and down the ridge and some blocks are terraced and follow the contours of the land. The terraces have vines planted on the inside & outside of the rows.
