Napa Vintners' Premiere Event for the Wine Trade Sold Out

2/1/2011 - St Helena, CA--The Napa Valley Vintners (NVV) non-profit trade association announces today that its annual Premiere Napa Valley (PNV) mid-winter barrel tasting and auction for the wine trade taking place February 26 is sold out.

WOW!! Big Silver Oak day at the Barn!! Tell me people, do you love S.O. or hate it?

Busiest Day ever!! Clearly a large portion of the public is fond of this California Cabernet. Has this wine been living on a reputation while not delivering a product deserved of such public acclaim? Do you feel that this wine is worth the money that people charge?......Or maybe you think the wine is solid and there are just way to many haters out there trashing a brand because it is such an Icon in the world of wine. Tell us what you think.....
