.JPG "tasting room at August Briggs Winery in Calistoga, California")
1307 Lincoln Ave., (707) 942-4912. Hrs. vary.
Named for winery founder August “Joe” Briggs, this employee-owned August Briggs Winery has no dedicated facility. All of the 15 wines across 7 varietals are made at another winery, where they lease space and equipment and then oversee and do everything themselves. Sampling occurs here, in this tasting room, and most of the wine is sold directly to a dedicated group of wine club members I especially enjoyed the light and refreshing 2012 Napa County Rose, the silky 2011 Carneros Chardonnay, and the 2010 Page Nord Napa Valley Syrah (the 2001 vintage was poured in the Bush White House). A nice touch is that the label is silk screened onto the bottle in 22-karat gold.
More things to do in the Wine Country.
More ideas for exploring Northern California.
