I swore when we found this winery last year that I would not put out a review. This was only because I wanted to keep August Briggs a secret. Once the word is out in Napa Valley you can barely get your nose in the door. Well, hopefully it will be awhile before that happens but huge YUM-O's for their... more

We recently went to August Brigs and it was wonderful. The wine was some of the best we had on our trip to Napa. They have a Petite Sirah that was just awesome.

They were so enthusiastic about the wine. We had such a great time talking with them. We were joined by two couples who... more

My wife and I have just come back home from a trip to Calistoga. We found an incredible winery called August Briggs. It is a small barn-like structure that made the best wines we tasted all weekend. We met Bob, the owner's Dad, and he led us through a remarkable tasting & then took us for a tour in back... more
