PADDLE HARD - Befitting a banner for Napa Valley’s globally iconic event hangs proudly across the most photographed tourist attraction on highway 29. It’s “auction week” here in the Valley!
•
This event is a unique opportunity to access some of Napa’s most rare wines and exclusive vintner experiences. Options include 31 "only in your dreams" Live Auction lots which are the main attraction and what you’ll see covered (and coveted) most but also 114 lots of Napa Valley wine futures in their Barrel Auction and 159 lots open for bidding online in their E-Auction (buy from your couch).
•
One lot sure to prompt fierce bidding is Lot 18 by @harlanestate . It includes luxury lodging and dinner @meadowoodnapavalley but only ONE bottle of wine. What?! Oh, but what a bottle - it’s a 9 liter vessel filled with estate juice from their 2001 vintage. In case you’re wondering, that size bottle is called a Salmanazar and holds and entire case of wine! Talk about cellar envy.
•
While all this viticultural glitz is impressive, the most incredible part is how much money is raised for community health and children’s education. Since its inception in 1981, @napavintners has raised over $185M for these critical Valley causes. Last year’s auction raised $13.6M alone, so hoping for the same success this year.
•
Can’t wait to see all the paddles fly once Katy Perry kicks off bidding with a bang. No need to be left out, as you can catch it all streamed live from their website. Let us know what what would be your dream lot!

DIBS ON GIBBS - Much love for the @gibbsvineyards 2018 Sauvignon Blanc release party at @feastitforward this evening - it was fantastic. Enjoyed the whole portfolio including a sneak taste of their soon to be released Pinot as well (❤️). All the grape goodness made even better with incredible fare cooked up in the onsite test kitchen while acoustic jams by @justindmusician filled the evening air. Thank you all for an incredible time!

CAB FRANC THE NEW “CAB” - As the saying goes in Napa, “Cab is King” and they’re talking Cabernet Sauvignon of course. Though the fame and favor is beginning to shift more towards its quiet cousin, Cabernet Franc.
•
Traditionally used as a Bordeaux blending grape, Cab Franc is now gaining center stage with many vintners as a marquis varietal in their portfolio due to lighter body and brighter acidity than Cab Sauv. With a thinner skin and shorter ripening time, Cab Franc has smoother tannins and lower alcohol which is a welcome change from the heavy hitters high in ABV and “rip your face off” tannins.
•
Though as with any wine, drink what you enjoy most and indulge your personal palate. It’s just good to explore new varietal frontiers and we can enthusiastically encourage you to give Cab Franc a try.
•
If you’re already a fan, please a share your favorite labels with everyone in the comments. Cheers!
