The Judgement of Paris,” as the historic 1976 winetasting is known, put a previously unknown Calistoga winery named Chateau Montelena firmly on the international wine map (prompting not just one movie, but two.) Their heralded ranks of now legendary Napa Valley wineries have been expanded by dozens of young turks who make the most of the incredible grapes this winegrowing region produces: big, distinctive wines, both red and white, imbued with character and undeniable pride of place. You’ll find rare treasures as you sample the wineries of Calistoga. Leave room in your trunk for a mixed case to take home and savor later.
Calistoga’s 30-plus wineries continue to win over lovers of fine wines from all over the world.
