If the wine industry as a whole is "small world," Napa is the one of the smallest islands on it. Everybody knows everybody, and its as if we are all neighbors.
Sometimes this is actually true. Introducing The Winemakers of Fulton Lane: Fulton Mather of David Fulton, Michael Chiarello of Chiarello, Dick Wollack of Expression Wines and Scott Harvey of Scott Harvey Wines. All of these proprietors are within earshot of each other on Fulton Lane in St. Helena. The great thing is that all of these guys get along very well and actually do events together. On Sunday, Feb. 22nd, The Winemakers of Fulton Lane hosted a series of open houses at their homes. The event took place the morning after Premiere Napa Valley Auction, and in the midst of a nasty winter storm was very well received. About 50 plus people from all over the country made their way through the residences and tasted some great wines.
If any of you missed the event, their will be another Fulton Lane Winemaker event at Acme Wines on Fulton Lane in St. Helena on Friday, March 13th.
Hope to see you there!
Austin. Guests Elaine Varvatos and Brian Mitchell with Dick Wollack of Expression Wines.
