Napa wine clubs
To
start a wine collection, you need a place to keep your wine at a constant
temperature of 55 degrees with 75 percent humidity, but you don’t want this to cause
mold elsewhere in your home. You can always put your wines in a wine storage
facility. You might try having a theme for your collection, such as wines from
Napa wineries — some of the best wines in the world. It may help to join a wine
club in Napa, so as to get savings on the wines you buy. Keep the documentation
on your wines, and have them appraised often.
One of the best Napa
wineries near St. Helena
Some
of the best California wines come from Anderson’s Conn Valley Vineyards in Napa
Valley, a 10-minute drive from downtown St. Helena. The vineyard is a 40-acre
estate just south of Howell Mountain. Instead of a busy tasting room, the
vineyard offers you the chance to meet the owners and wine-makers and taste
excellent wine stored in a cave. Wine Merchants Gourmet includes them in one of
its Middle Valley tours.
An
example of what this winery has to offer is the Signature Cabernet Sauvignon, a
wine that comes only from the best of the vintage. The 2011 Signature Cab is an
intensely dark purple and red wine with an intense aroma of dark berries,
smoke, anise and tar. It has a fruity palate of blackberries and blueberries
with hints of violets, licorice and smoke. This is a rare vintage, produced in
a cool year when yields were low. By ordering six bottles or more per year, you
can join their wine club, giving you discounts on many of their finest wines.
