California - Wine Country

Vincent Arroyo

A Karen Brown Recommendation

Another very personal wine-tasting experience close to Chateau Montelena is offered by the nearby Vincent Arroyo winery (2361 Greenwood Avenue, Calistoga, CA 94515). To reach it, proceed to the end of Tubbs Lane, turn right and first right on Greenwood Avenue, and the winery is on your right. This small, friendly, seven-employee micro winery offers you the chance to taste wine from the barrel and secure purchases from future bottlings. “JJ”, the resident black lab, offers an amusing addition to your visit, for once she observes a barrel tasting in progress, she drops a golf ball (or two) at your feet and climbs high on the barrel stacks waiting for you to throw the ball for her to retrieve. You can also sample and purchase estate-produced olive oil. Hours vary so call ahead. 707-942-6995, www. vincentarroyo.com.
