We are excited to have our Vermeil W**es W**e Tasting next Thursday, 5:00-6:30 at Main Street Social! I have been out to their downtown Napa tasting room several times. Yes, some of you may recognize the name, Vermeil. Yes, it is Hall of Fame Super Bowl champion coach Dick Vermeil! No, it's not another sports figure that all of a sudden wants a vineyard and/or w**ery. Yes, Coach Vermeil is the real w**e country deal, born and raised in Calistoga on vineyards. With the help of the renowned w**emaker Thomas Rivers Brown, Vermeil W**es crafts incredibly bold Bordeaux-style reds as well as a surprising Sauvignon Blanc. Just opened and shared a Vermeil George III at last night's Cellar Share Fine W**e Dinner. Please join us and welcome from Calistoga, CA, Andrew Curry, Vermeil W**es Director of Sales & Marketing. Free for w**e club members, $30 for non-members. W**es available for purchase directly from the w**ery. Email me at [email protected] with names and # guests. Cheers!

From scratch kitchen offering classic Italian-American fare, featuring proprietary w**es and craft libations.
