...some friends with a connection went wine tasting over the weekend at some pretty exclusive wineries on Howell Mountain and above Lake Hennessy in the Napa Valley - here's their report:
First stop was Neal Family Vineyards. Great place especially the no tasting fee. I liked this place the best. Bought a $90 2003 Cab and two 2012 cabs. You need a reservation to go and you will enjoy.
Second stop was O'Shaughnessy. Nice place with cool caves. Wine was ok but priced a bit on the high side. Tasting fee $50 per person and can't apply toward your purchase. That's BS.
We left Howell Mt and went to Ovid which is a very exclusive winery up above Lake Hennessy on the ridge overlooking the Napa Valley. Today you could see all the way to the Santa Cruz mountains. Fantastic place. Wine tasting fee $175 per person. Thank god we were comped as Sandy knew a good friend of the owner.
They only poured two Cabs. If I had paid, well I wouldn't have, the $350 I would have been really pissed off. When I looked at the price list I just about had a heart attack. You had to buy a three pack and the cheapest was $800.
I'll go back to Neal any day of the week.
