Wine tasting with my sisters in the Napa Valley

Olives still on the tree.




Barrels of Cabernet almost ready to be mixed with Merlot to make Cabernet Sauvignon at Groth Family Winery in the Napa Valley.

My sisters and I took a drive to Groth Family Winery on September 19 so Sharon, who is a member of the Groth Wine Club, could pick up her wine. It was the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon and oh, my, was it a tasty wine! We got to taste it before she picked up her shipment. It sure tasted like MORE!





Groth has beautiful gardens surrounding the winery. It was nice to wander through them while making certain that one of us could safely drive after drinking the wine. There are a lot of flowers and olive trees in the garden.












While we were there, we got to taste the 2007 Cabernet; Susanne Groth was there to give each of us a taste from the barrel. That wine will be mixed with a certain percentage of Merlot, the percentage determined by the Vintner, and the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon will be created - I believe some time next year.

    Hi Carol,

    Awesome pictures! That's exactly what I want to do when I retire: travel and take great pictures! Looking forward to additions to your blog.

    PS I'm counting down the months (LOL) to Vegas.
