Schramsberg is a great Napa brand. I remember meeting the current operator’s parents. Lovely people. The Schramsberg tour is fascinating.

This is all too much for me. Both the brunch and the wines

Thanks for sharing. Is the cost too much? Or just the idea?

Interested to hear about what, exactly, is too much? Schramsberg/Davies tends to be priced well for their quality and distinction. They offer something for every budget. Incredible history behind the brand of this, increasingly rare, pioneering family owned winery. Would love it if you would count this as one of the valley's greats.

Great article Tim. We are grape growers and have sold grapes to Schramsberg for several years. We have been in the wine business a long time and find this company to be one of the best. Great people, great attitude, great wines. The connection to the land and history is what drew us to the wine and grape business in the first place. And much of that has been lost. But not at Schramsberg.

Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm, Tim! On behalf of my family and the Davies / Schramsberg winery team, we feel fortunate to have lived and worked in this vibrant, agricultural community for 59 years. Every vintage is a blessing, an opportunity to fine-tune our craft in the vineyards, the winery and in the tasting room. We appreciate our partners throughout the industry and our fans around the world. Here’s to the next 59 years!

Schramsberg is in Calistoga so why would you word its location as being north of St. Helena?

As a regular visitor for 40 years and taking the tour several times (plus recommending to wine friends) I would love this. I also love the history - it makes me feel connected in some small way.
