No. Ceago is Lake County. Paul Dolan is Russian River Valley in Sonoma. Paul Dolan is Mendocino. If you like Napa, try Frog’s Leap and Grgich for organic. Try Murphy Vineyards to quench your craving for balanced, food friendly wines that are affordable (nothing over $26).

Ceago’s Sauvignon Blanc is excellent. Also try Paul Dolan’s line, and the new Benziger Signaterra Pinot Noir.

If you like sustainable try Ceago Vinegarden's offerings, they are all biodynamic. Better yet they have a second label I picked up at TJ's. I rated the 2006 Dynamic Red Table Wine ($9) #6 in my Top 10 Trader Joe's Wines. Enjoy! Cheers, Jason

Jessica,

How can I forget? I like wines that come from sustainably farmed vineyards as well.

Jessica,
I like wines that are food friendly and not very oaky. I won’t name any names, but I try to stay away from the big butter balls that have been 100% oak fermented. The main thing for me though is finding wines that are not well known or are new.

Thanks for the help,

Sure, there are more than 400 wineries in that area. Why don’t you tell me what you like to drink and I can help you narrow it down.
cheers

Hello Jessica,
I am always looking for new wines from Napa Valley. I hear that new ones pop up almost every other day, but when I try to search for them I have trouble finding any. Do you have any suggestions for me on how to find new wineries or labels? Or do you know of any you would recommend?

Thanks for your help,
