Blog 60 Rombauer Vineyards
On a tree covered knoll, overlooking Napa Valley in St. Helena sits Rombauer Vineyards, with over one mile of caves set into the hillside. Rombauer was founded in 1982 by Koerner and Joan Rombauer. You may know the Rombauer family by Koerner’s great aunt, Irma Rombauer, who wrote the book “The Joy of Cooking” which they sell in their wine tasting room.
Although Rombauer can be hard to find from the road, they are always packed in the tasting room. The tasting is $10 per person and consists of their current release wines. We tried the 2008 Carneros Chardonnay, 2006 Carneros Merlot, 2006 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2007 Fiddletown Zinfandel.
If you do decide to visit for a tasting, call for the best times to visit when it is not so crowded. Be sure to take some time to walk the gardens and take on the view of the mountainside. My favorite wines from Rambauer are always the Zins!
Tell me what you think! I want to hear from you! Give me your thoughts!
Bon Vin!
