Summer Afternoon At Quixote Winery
Nestled in the eastern mountains of the Napa Valley the waters flow out of the deep cliffs of the Stags Leap hillside and provide the nourishment for Quixote wines. In the center of the hillside is a wild and magical group of buildings designed by the famous artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
Educating the Senses About the Complexity of Wine
For the lucky few who live in the Napa Valley, the experience of tasting wine and discussing its properties is simply a part of every day. For the first time visitors to the valley, the experience of wine tasting can be rather daunting, as the number of tasting options is overwhelming and the variety of flavors and smells is impossible to track. Often the expert pouring wine refers to the wine having hints of chocolate, berries, fruits, spices or other exotic qualities. Your first response may be to dismiss this descriptive language as just part of the presentation and not a well-developed part of the wine industry. However, it is important to open the sense of smell and taste to a complex range of expressions in the different varieties of wine.
