A quick drive up Highway 29 (in heavy rain, light traffic) found me at Pestoni Family Estate Winery. I chose to visit Pestoni, established in 1892, as I wanted an authentic Napa Valley experience. Or should I say what the Napa Valley experience used to be. I have been feeling a little jaded with the wine industry lately (or rather the theme park direction the Napa valley seems to be heading in), so a quick dose of Napa Valley history seemed to be just what was needed.
A rather old-fashioned, brown tasting room, which seemed a tad dim on this grey day, the Pestoni experience was still a suitable antidote to the new, gimmicky wineries that seem, more and more, to be the way of wine's future in the Napa Valley. I was interested in tasting Pestoni's 2017 Sauvignon Blanc, their 2018 Rosé and their 2017 Sangiovese. So I did, and I liked all three wines sufficiently that I went ahead and purchased a bottle of each.
Upon leaving Pestoni I had to stop to let the Wine Train pass as it headed north. Whilst I waited, I braved the rain and took a photograph.

An apropos adventure.
Sitting us down and setting us straight, that's a strong satisfying correction for an overly glitzy commercialized society.
so still room for me to open my vintage vine winery and serve in tin cups?
Just waiting in general....get posting!
