The Napa Valley Cellar - A Guide to Boutique Wineries

The Napa Valley Cellar - A Guide to Boutique Wineries Our Mission Napa Valley has many, many great wines. Where do you find them? HERE. Discussion in open forum on the True Boutique Wines of Napa.

Over the years of being a Tour Guide here in the valley, we have found and tasted a very large portion of these hidden treasures, tough job but someone has to do it. On this site we will give our opinion of the wines we like and will link you directly to the wine, you may check out their full collection and buy what you want. Most of these wines you would not easily find by yourself, small family

owned and operated, small production but made with the passion and love for the grape. We will be adding the wineries over time, several each week, Tours permitting, and we want your feedback. You can have your own Napa Valley Cellar.

Talking of Merlot, another comes from my buddy Stan Boyd, I do not think Stan intended to become a winemaker, came to Napa to retire but the passion hit him hard and he is now making wine from his own grapes. And very well too, Mr Parker agrees. I personally like everything he makes as do all my guests. Cab. Franc is a favorite varietal of mine and Stan's is right up there with the best.

Boyd Family Vineyard produces estate bottled ultra-premium Merlot, Syrah, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Located in the Napa Valley in the Oak Knoll District AVA on Big Ranch Road this 21 acre vineyard produces award winning wines.

Hwy 29 or Hollywood Row as I call it, is not the best place to find Napa's finest, the exceptions disprove that rule. I found a Merlot there several years ago and it is still one of the finest in Valley. Their Meritage and Cab/Sauv(100% Cab) are great but that Merlot is superb and should be in every Napa Valley Cellar.....Billy Tuesday.

Rock Star Winemakers! This valley has more than it's fair share and I want you to meet some over the coming weeks. Jeff Fontanella, he makes some of my favorite labels from Napa. His own wines are superb, Chard and Zinfandel are great but Jeff has a magic touch on the blending of Cab/Sauv. Production is very small as it is with all the 'good stuff' from here.

Fontanella Winery produces Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Zinfandel.

I usually joke to my guests 'we are not going on a wine tour, we are going to visit my friends' and they happen to have great wines. Manny Frias is a prime example, Great Cabs, a great syrah and merlot, infact, there is not a wine I do not like, and the price is good too. A great Library selection......Billy Tuesday.

Folk coming to Napa want the 'good stuff' that we locals know where to find. So unless they hire a knowledgeable guide they will stumble around and miss the best we have. Help is on the way....comments from a fellow consumer and the contact information you need to get to the 'good juice'.......... Billy Tuesday.
