Eagles Trace was founded by longtime Conn Valley residents Gus & Phyllis Anderson (who we met with). Gus passed away in late 2016 at age 86. Gus enjoyed a successful career as founder and winemaker for Anderson's Conn Valley until his retirement at age 72. Most 72 year old's are quite comfortable with retirement at this age, but not Gus. After a year of … [Read more...]
Ehlers Estate
Ehlers Estate is located about 2 miles north of St. Helena on the east side of Highway 29 on Ehlers Lane. This location is in the heart of the north part of Napa Valley, is quite scenic and well removed from the often-busy wine strip of Highway 29, especially to the south of St. Helena. As a result of their historic setting, intimate tasting experiences and … [Read more...]
El Molino Winery
El Molino Winery is located on the site of an old ghost winery founded in 1871 - when referring to Napa Valley wineries built in the early 1870s or before, this list is an extremely exclusive one. As a result, the original El Molino Winery was one of the earlier wineries founded in the Napa Valley. The winery was completely restored in 1981. This site is … [Read more...]
Elizabeth Spencer Winery
Elizabeth Spencer Winery is located in one of the smallest buildings in the valley; it was built in 1872 and served as the original post office for the town of Rutherford. Despite the winery name, there is no actual Elizabeth Spencer. Rather the winery is a partnership, and the name comes from combining the founder's first names. Elizabeth Pressler spent … [Read more...]

Schlein Vineyard
Schlein Vineyard is owned and operated by Phil Schlein a long time Napa area resident. It is uniquely refreshing to find a wine that is named after a property manager!

He … [Read more...]

Envy Wines
Envy Wines is located on the site of the old Calistoga Cellars winery a few minutes' drive north of the town of Calistoga. In this part of the valley, physical wineries begin to thin out, as does the traffic and as a result wine tastings are often less crowded than at some of the busier wineries to the south. For a tasting experience with the fewest people, … [Read more...]
Eponymous Wine
Eponymous Wine was founded by long time Napa Valley based winemaker Robert Pepi (Bob). Eponymous means given as a name or giving one's name to something and as Bob told us this name is, "a play on words by one who is unable to use his family name on his own bottle of wine". Astute followers of Robert's career will recognize that this is due to contractual … [Read more...]
