		<description><![CDATA[As part of my wine education, a few years ago, I spent 2 1/2 years visiting wineries, year-round, four days a week.  I loved talking to wine makers, owners and staff during the winter season.  During that time, and the 5 years before that, when I wasn&#8217;t studying, I was home (practicing pairing) so I [...]]]></description>

The parking lot draws you towards a multitude of excellent choices&#8230;walk straight to one of three tasting rooms, head for a shady picnic table near one of several ponds, tour the one-of-kind museum [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have always been in awe of winemakers.  Amateurs making their own blends is an industry trend, e.g., Crushpad in San Francisco is very successful. Until now, I&#8217;ve happily sat on the sidelines (drinking fab wine). I finally poked my beaker into the bottle so-to-speak at a corporate event where I was VIP Hostess.  The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The only time I get to taste hard-to-get, small lot wines from &#8220;famous&#8221; wine makers is at special industry tastings or large events open to the public.  The industry tastings are great because you usually have smaller groups and can talk to the wine maker.  The &#8220;wine road&#8221; huge events are not my style&#8211;there are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Collective tasting rooms offer wines from various vintners in one place.  They can be co-owned by vintners like Family Wineries Tasting Rooms or independently owned like Vintners Collective. They are different from a wine shop that offers tastings in that they represent far fewer vintners. A bad weather day is the perfect time to visit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Ceja (say ha) Wines.  What a lovely ambiance! They have two tasting rooms, in the Carneros appellation (which straddles Napa and Sonoma County) and downtown Napa.  The family is very hands-on. The matriarch, Amelia, cooks, entertains, talks about wine, pours wine&#8230;she does it all with an excitement and energy that belies the fact [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s some tips if you&#8217;d like to learn more: I record Fine Living shows &#38; watch them while folding [...]]]></description>

Course 1 was rich (French), course 2 was a palette cleanser (salad) and [...]]]></description>
