Sitting along the Napa River in the city of Napa you can find the ultra cool tasting room for Scalon Cellars located in a repurposed tannery. The vineyard itself is located in the scenic Coombsville AVA just east of the city and tastings take place at the tannery by appointment.. Tim Goodwin is the General Manager at Scalon and took time out of his morning to give me the history and background of Scalon as well as the Coombsville AVA. My advice, seek out the small wineries. You’ll be glad you did.
