My husband and I discovered Goosecross Cellars about 10 years ago, and I recently re-discovered their delicious wines with my girlfriends during a trip to Napa Valley. I introduced my three long-time friends (think best friends since high school!) to Calif. wine country, and I wanted them to experience the charming, warm, personal side of Napa. Goosecross Cellars was an easy choice.
The winery tasting room is tucked away from the busy highways and thoroughfares of Napa. It is a quaint room with friendly (and funny!) wine educators, which I’m pretty sure is the new term for sales staff. We tasted many fantastic red and white wines, and as a result, I had to whip out my credit card to cover the big purchase.
I shared one of the Goosecross Cabernets over Thanksgiving weekend, and decided it must be my WINOS Pick of the Week. I opened the 2005 Napa Valley Cab, and it was simply delicious. The wine is flavorful, smooth and tastes like rich berries with a touch of chocolate. We sipped the wine while sampling a cheese platter and munching on sausage appetizers… and I made certain there was not a drop of the wine left in the bottle. (It’s worth noting the 2004 Howell Mountain Caberent is even better, but the $69 price tag is forcing me to save it for my birthday!)
If you aren’t close to Napa Valley, the Goosecross Cellars online wine store can be found HERE.
Whether you like reds or whites — or even chocolate-dipped wines– I highly recommend Goosecross Cellars. Every wine is enjoyable and memorable.
Just trying to squeeze in some television between mothering, working and crashing.
