I
just returned from a short book tour to California supporting my newly released
novel “Pinot Envy”. After an event in the town of Napa, my publisher and I
managed to work in a quick visit to Opus One further up in the valley for a
tour and tasting. Of course the visit and wine were spectacular, but what was
re-enforced was the sheer beauty and uniqueness of this amazing wine-growing
region. A world unto itself, it possesses some of the most, expensive, prime
real estate on the planet with its own distinct microclimate. Still plenty warm
in Napa (compared to San Fran), the grapes are looking great and harvest is
underway. From all accounts, it’s looking like it should be another impressive
vintage. Can’t wait!
