Activity and sales in Northern California’s appellations are up this year, for the 4th year in a row, after the early century “recession” caused by a rising supply meeting a steep downturn in tourism after 9/11/01. Last years new restrictions on carry-on liquids caught everyone by surprise in August, but within a few months, almost every tasting room offered checkable (and shippable) cartons with extra padding so you can bring your new discoveries home to share with your friends. We’re breaking new records with our volume this year and are working hard to offer the Wine Country Novice AND veteran alike a great experience to delight all 5 senses.
