The Facility was incredible. It is a beautiful place and an impressive operation. Our guide didn’t appear to be very interested in being there. Maybe he had a bad day, but it was a poor effort on his part that left us both wishing we had skipped this tasting.

We just visited Napa last week and had already mapped out where we were planning to go, though we had a little time to add something if we wanted. Usually, when we visit a winery, we ask our guide about their favorite vineyards, other than their own. Time after time, people were mentioning Palmaz, one that I had never heard of before. Turns out that it was built by the physician that invented the heart stent. And, he ended up building some much unique technology into this endeavor.

This shows a whole series of measurements that monitor the environment inside the tanks so they can then make adjustments, when necessary.

Adrian was our tour guide and he handled our large group of 11 college friends so graciously! He was so well versed in the operation and processes of the winery.

The facility is very clean, bright and beautiful. The grounds are extraordinary! A must see in Napa!…
