Upon returning to the office Monday morning, we were greeted with an email from a customer about an experience he’d had with one of our wines over the weekend. The wine in question: our 1976 North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon. He writes:
Gentlemen,
Last night I had a small dinner at my home in Healdsburg, CA, in order to honor a friend, and to try out some Napa “Cult” Cabs I had assembled. Screaming Eagle, Harlan Estate, Bryant Family etc…. But the most amazing surprise was a 1976 Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast (I’ve attached a picture of that) … wow! Whoever made that wine should be very proud, it’s drinking wonderfully, even after 35+ years! Please give my regards to the Barretts and anyone else who had a hand in that very fine bottling. What a pleasure, I’m a winemaker myself, and I just had one of the best wines I’ve ever had. Bravo!
As you might imagine, it was a pleasure to find this email in our inbox Monday morning and to know we were included in a tasting with such wonderful wines. We love hearing from our customers about their memorable experiences with our wines.
What was the best bottle of Chateau Montelena wine you have ever had and who did you enjoy it with?
