Une Expérience Golden!

Many of our friends and adopt-a-vine parents have inquired about our unique bottle design.   We put forth great effort and countless hours to provide you with a truly remarkable wine, both inside and outside the bottle.   We designed our bottle to salute our family's heritage and the hard work we put forth into producing a truly outstanding wine experience. Whether or not you’re giving the wine as a gift or thinking about preparing a delicous gourmet food and wine experience.

We special order our bottles from Lavoro, located in the Tuscany region of Italy. We begin by silkscreening 22 carat gold lettering on each bottle. The bottles are then fired in an oven at 1350 degrees.   Once it reaches this temperature, the gold is fused to the outside of the bottle, giving it its elegant appearance. The wine is then estate bottled. Due to the unique dual lipped bottle opening we hand wax each cork and then hand stamp our seal on each wax medallion.

When you receive your wine look closely at the bottle and you'll see two portraits. The man on the left is Paulette's father and the one on the right in my father.   We placed them on each bottle in tribute to their hard work and inspiration.   You'll notice they are looking down from heaven, as though to say, "We're proud of the life you've created in the Napa Valley."

We invite you to salute them the next time you enjoy our wines.

Give Your Father His 'Own' Piece of Napa Valley

Are you still looking for that perfect Father's Day wine gift for Dad?   Look no further than St. Helena Winery where you can adopt a vine for him. He'll own one of our 12,000 vines in our Napa Valley vineyard. It's as close as him buying a vineyard of his own!  He'll receive a certificate of adoption along with a nametag on each "adopted" vine in his name.   Your father will also receive the following appreciation item.

One bottle of 2002 'Sympa' St. Helena Winery's 100% Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.   We are bottling this superb vintage in early June (we have already pre-sold half of our total 2002 production).

This also makes a wonderful gift for your college graduate!   Visit our website to place your order and for additional information.

Thank you for reading.
