Schramsberg - A Great Winery To Visit!

Next time you're in Napa, make sure you pay a visit to our country's greatest sparkling wine producer:
Schramsberg Vineyards.
You will have to make an appointment, but it's well worth the extra effort. You will get an informative tour of the cool Schramsberg caves, and an interesting overview of the winemaking process. They make their wine the same way as Champagne which is known as methode champenoise. They even still turn the bottles by hand, which is known as riddling. You'll hear all about it on the tour.
At the end of the tour you end up in a candle lit open area of the cave, where you taste all of the Schramsberg wines - or at least most of them.
You might also get to taste the still wines that are made under the J. Davies label - a Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon.
I can't wait to go back!
