Napa Valley Wineries That Offer Unusual Tasting Experiences - AFAR
"After the 2020 Glass Fire destroyed their minimalist digs, Hourglass Winery owners Jeff Smith and wife Carolyn Duryea created an alfresco tasting salon amid sculptural burned-out trees called the Boneyard. A stripped-down green Airstream is ringed by trees, a garden, and a grand dining table topped in malachite print tile. Smith, a rocker turned vintner, installed a modern turntable and vintage Klipsch speakers to play a diverse vinyl collection. A textured wine like its Blueline Estate 36 vibes with the Clash’s London Calling, while the silkier Hourglass Estate cab might evoke the Marias’ Cinema. "The mystery of sound is much like the approach we take with our wines—an old-school/new-school effort to create dimension, richness, vibrancy," says Smith." - Maria C. Hunt
