Napa Valley


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!
