I wanted to say thank you to the Jill White and team at Napa Valley Tours for sharing the tour information below. Though I maybe can’t always appreciate the nuances of wine, it doesn’t make wine country any less of an appealing tourist destination and I have yet to meet a bottle of vino I don’t get along with, you all know that!
