Wineries / Breweries, Yountville
Fodor's Review:
It was the 1973 cabernet sauvignon produced by Stag's Leap Wine Cellars that put the winery -- and the California wine industry -- on the map by placing first in the famous Paris tasting of 1976. A visit to the winery is a no-frills affair; visitors in the small, spare tasting room are clearly serious about tasting wine and aren't interested in distractions like a gift shop. It costs a hefty $40 to taste the top-of-the-line wines, including their limited-production estate-grown cabernets and Bordeaux blends, some of which sell for well over $100. If you're interested in more modestly priced wines, try the $15 tasting, which usually includes a sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, merlot, and a cabernet.
