Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay put California on the wine radar around the world.  Excellent growing conditions in Napa, Sonoma, and elsewhere in California produce excellent wines.  At the California Wine FairI was able to taste many high quality wines.  You will still see oak showing up in some of my notes for the Chardonnay wines, but it is not overpowering as it once was.  With the…

Antica Wines Our Choice for the Holidays

At a recent Hollywood Get together for the kick off of award season and what is to come for Sundance 2019, ChefDance hosted their annual event hosted by Mimi Kim, Postmates, and Antica Napa Valley.

The night was filled with bites from Casey Lane, leading chef for ChefDance 2019 opening night and Viale dei Romani in West Hollywood. As ChefDance will plan to host the finest chefs and best films for Sundance 2019, Antica Napa Valley wines will also unite this exclusive culinary experience in Park City.

For tonight those who may not be able to attend ChefDance were lucky enough to try this delightful wine we recommend for your current Holiday gatherings.

With 630 Years of Winemaking, and all still in the family the name Antica originates from the words Antinori and California and represents the Antinori family’s longstanding desire to craft exceptional estate wines that are a true expression of Napa Valley terroir.

The Antinori’s family’s 26 generations of winemaking history has long been synonymous with the famed winegrowing regions of Tuscany and Umbria. Today, their wines are among the most recognized and highly rated of Italy.

But the Marchese Piero Antinori and his daughters, Albiera, Allegra and Alessia, are also known for seeking out the undiscovered potential of specific wine regions while staying true to the tradition, culture and taste of Antinori wines.

This wine pairs beautifully with just about every dish you serve. For the holiday season order their Holiday Wine Kit. This is the perfect gift for someone who loves to entertain.

Here is what it comes with:

2017 Antica Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc – something crisp and clean to complement an array of appetizers

2016 Antica Napa Valley A26 Chardonnay – our first choice for a first course, from salads to pasta to oyster

2016 Antica Napa Valley Merlot – perfect balance and body to accompany turkey or ham, and all the trimmings

2015 Antica Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon – a classic: mountain-grown Cabernet that stands up to the richest, heartiest beef or wild game, or a cheese course
