The afternoon of our first day on the 5th Pops & Son Wine Trip continued the vinous adventure that we had
started in the morning at
Kirkland Ranch and
William Hill. As we traveled up
Silverado Trail on the Western side of the Valley, we mused about which winery to next visit, as we had plenty of time before our 2:30 appointment with the highlight of the day,
Terra Valentine on
Spring Mountain. We passed numerous wineries along the way, including many
Stags Leap favorites such as
Regusci,
Darioush and
Clos du Val. As we approached the
Oakville appellation, Pops asked if I’d ever visited the large contemporary building that housed
Miner Family Vineyards. I had not done so and just that easily, we had picked our next winery!
