Unfortunately, it's closed to the public. Probably smart. I checked it out too; cheapest bottle I saw online was >$100, too rich for my palate.

I saw some $300-500 bottles. Definitely too rich for me as well. Could be the celebrity, could be the fact it's on/near Diamond Mountain (seem to be more expensive)...or it could be those pompous Napa folks jacking up their prices.

Sad news indeed. Friggin' Mets. So glad I was born into a Yankees family. Seaver was terrific...just a great player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no doubt the expensive bottles (we drank a $45 chardonnary last night that someone gifted us and it was wonderful) are generally better, but $300 for a bottle of wine is crazy talk. I guess if I had 8 or 9 zeros on my bank account I'd go for them, but otherwise it's silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without looking a prices, the one I really liked as a $100 Cab....and I know nothing about wine. Maybe there is something to those prices. Of course that has a hard pass. I'm fine w/ wine priced WAY less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
