Neyers Vineyards: Against the Vine

A few years ago, we had the pleasure of visiting Neyers Vineyards where we met the owners and tried a number of their wines. Already big fans of their Chardonnay, we were fascinated to find that in the Cab-centric Napa Valley, they were more interested in pushing their Syrah. Modeled in the French style, their wines are now garnering rave reviews, particularly from Parker. The winery is tucked off the beaten path up past Lake Hennessey, but well worth the trip. Stop in and see Phoebe, Bob and Barbara Neyers and enjoy some great Chards and Syrahs.

A Drive though Chianti? 

If you happen to be traveling through Tuscany, specifically the Chianti region - make sure to stop into the town of Greve and check out their regional super-store - Le Cantine di Greve - where you can taste hundreds of wines from the area, and also research them as you go. It's great way to make sure the wine is your style before you buy. It was definitely one of those fun finds along the way. Also there's a nice little cafe off of the main street as you go through town, to stop for a snack and a good glass of Chianti. 


A Food Lover's (And Wine) Destination

In northern Sonoma, lies the little town of Healdsburg. Once a sleepy farm town, Healdsburg is now a trendy wine destination. The town boasts top wineries in and around its borders, along with boutique shopping and some of the best restaurants in the valley. For the food lover, it is the perfect destination with high-end dining at Cyrus and Dry Creek Kitchen and perfect everyday treats from Oakville Grocery and the Downtown Bakery and Creamery. It makes the perfect home base for exploring the area wineries as well.
