Regusci was recommended by a friend who lives and works in Napa. She told me that this a famous place where they used to bootleg wine during Prohibition. It's a smaller vineyard but has an amazing terrace and is a highly sought after location for weddings. We didn't have an appointment for this, it was one of our many "drive-thru" vineyards on our list to see.
You can take a look around the "Prohibition" room while you're there, however, they were setting up for a wedding so it was not allowed. Our kind server told us that if he turns his back and can't see us then he can't stop us from taking a peek!
Everybody say PROHIBITION!!!!
We hurried over to Cakebread Cellars which is one of my FAVORITE wines!!! It's the only wine, up until now, that I'd actually go out of my "15 dollar limit" and buy!!! We wanted to make this trip all about wines that we couldn't get in Texas and away from all the popular vineyards. However, being a true Cakebread fan, we had to go!!
We scheduled the "Reserve" tasting which was incredible. I had to take a picture of the wine glasses.... apparently I've been serving it all wrong!!!
Cabernet grapes!
We were grouped together with another party of 4 whom two of them were from Round Rock and lived across the neighborhood from Roz & Ron. One of their brothers was there who is a doctor in the area of Ron and Andy's work so naturally the 2 salesmen solicited their devices.
It then turns out that the girlfriend is a fellow tri delt!
Ironic.
The premises around Cakebread is truly remarkable!!! We learned all about their new vineyards up on the mountain and supposedly it's going to be some of the best wine yet!!!
Our next stop was another "drive-thru" at Heitz Cellars which is a local spot with easy to get to tastings!
