Napa Trip: January 2019

February 13, 2019 / Carl Tiedemann / Life, Wine

It is impossible to say it isn’t great fun to visit Napa Valley wine country, but it seems like each time I am there I am busier than the last time. This trip west was no exception as I had a number of items to accomplish. I had originally scheduled this trip for the first […]
