Four years ago we produced a podcast featuring a sampling of Appellation St Helena winemakers which included Eric Titus of Titus Vineyards as one of the guests. We figured it was about time we sat down and recorded a full interview with Eric to learn more about the Titus Winery. The Titus tasting room sits right on Silverado Trail and is easy to find and well worth the time. Eric brings a great laugh to this interview along with spectacular wine. So make an appointment and taste the harvest!

A visit to The Adobe, just off the square in Sonoma, is uniquely special. This is where you can taste the wines of Three Sticks in a laid-back, no-rush space. You’d never know that you were just steps from ever busy downtown Sonoma. It was there that I met up with Three Sticks Winemaker Ryan Prichard, which was crazy considering he was in the middle of harvest. If you’ve been there for harvest, then you know. If not, you need to!

Along Silverado Trail on the opposite side of the street from Soda Canyon Road, you’ll find the gates of Seven Apart. This winery has grown into a Napa Valley space with great history in its soil. Morgan Mauréze is Winemaker, born in France but raised in Napa Valley. Morgan still speaks French but has also grown into the Valley like a regular “Napkin”. I met up with Morgan a few weeks ago to talk about this extraordinary wine and how it came to be. A visit to this property is like a visit to a spa. Drink, relax, repeat.
