Mark your calendars! Napa Valley takes centerstage in our next in-store focus tasting! Napa Valley is one of the most recognizable and important w**e appellations in the world.
Join us on Saturday, October 17th, 2026 from 3 pm to 5 pm to celebrate this amazing w**e region as we pour 16 w**es from Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay to Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. As is the tradition for our Focus Tastings, the w**es will range from accessible everyday w**es to luxury, cellar worthy bottles. While we will be exploring a wide range of w**es, we will certainly be including a significant number of what put Napa Valley on the map- Cabernet Sauvignon!
The tasting will be a free, 21+, in-store event with snacks and special pricing!
We are working hard to put together a special line-up of fantastic w**es in a wide range of price points. With the confirmed w**es and the very likely w**es, even we are wowed by the range of w**es we've been able to put together! The entire line-up is anchored by the 2021 Mascot. The Mascot was founded by Will Harlan, crafted from the younger vines (roughly 5 to 15 years old) of legendary Napa Valley estates: Harlan Estate, BOND, and Promontory. While the w**es from those estates START at $800 a bottle, the Mascot comes in at a quarter of that! We recently tasted the 2021 again and are very excited to share it! It is an incredible bottle of w**e.
Beyond the Mascot, the list is packed with fantastic bottles from wonderful, everyday values from Jax to a big selection of w**es from $35 to $60. There is little doubt in our minds that this is an event that you NEED to attend.
