We’ve found that wine tasting leads to other sensory adventures. Food and wine. Chocolates and wine. The list goes on.

One of our pleasures of wine tasting is stopping for lunch along the way or picking up picnic makings to enjoy along with wine at one of our favorite wineries.

Try to pair wines and cheeses from the same region.  A Gewürztraminer will pair nicely with a Muenster or Jarlsberg.

A “starter wine trail,” this trail highlights some of the “big name” Napa wineries including Chateau Montelena of Bottle Shock fame.
