"Tom Gamble farms roughly 175 acres across Oakville, Mt. Veeder, Rutherford, and Yountville and produces classic Bordeaux-varietal wines that marry Old World structure with New World hedonism; the Gamble winery and tasting room sit in Oakville, tucked away from Highway 29. The experience is casual and down-to-earth in an elegant setting — you might meet Koa, the four-legged staff member, and often Tom himself — and the wines demand attention. Tip: if you want a deep lesson in agricultural heritage and unique Napa growing pockets, ask Tom about their Sauvignon Blanc aged 20 months in French oak and how the valley-floor location shapes its Old World traits." - Jonathan Cristaldi
