If you love Napa wines, especially the vineyards on Spring Mountain, you’ve probably been to Pride, Keenan and many others. If you go the other way up through Napa Valley, you’ve probably done Mayacamas, Joseph Phelps and even Jarvis. Although each has an amazing selection with unique flavors, there’s one wine that stands above the rest in our house. That’s Schweiger Vineyards.
Last October I got to make a voyage to their vineyards (not even knowing I had been drinking their wines for years already). We were met by a wonderful woman named Erin who walked us through the wines, did our tasting and made the experience perfect. You can drink incredible glasses while looking over a beautiful vineyard and even get to meet a couple of wine dogs laying beside the patio. They’ll bring you cheeses and meats while you watch the sunset and then you can top off with another worldclass wine to create the ultimate Napa experience.
If you haven’t been to Schweiger, call them now and ask for a tour with Erin Flanagen. You won’t regret it. So how did I get hooked even before going to the vineyard? Simple, Schweiger wines have been a part of my life since college.
I discovered this when I started looking through all of my photos over the years. Here are some of them below. (As a heads up, I only have one photo of the older bottles. You can’t really see the larger bottle label in some of the others.)
