Our first time visiting Davies, and we had a great time! Ruby was our tasting guide, and she was absolutely lovely. The tasting menu welcomed us by name, a nice, personalized touch! We enjoyed a tasting of five different sparklies. My favorite hands down was the French Laundry Modicum Blanc de Blancs - crisp and delicious. Interestingly, we had a reservation for The French Laundry that same evening. We learned that this wine is typically only available at French Laundry, but since the restaurant had been shut down for several months due to corona, they sent the wine over to Davies, with the stipulation that a portion of proceeds go into the employee relief fund. A very good deed on Thomas Keller's part. When we got to The French Laundry, we were very happy to have a couple more glasses of the Modicum there! Davies is a sister winery of Schramsberg in Calistoga. Schramsberg was recommended to us by multiple people, and then one day while visiting John Anthony in downtown Napa, Kristen who works there informed us that we could taste Schramsberg wines at Davies instead of making the longer trek to Calistoga. Kristen contacted her friend Ruby at Davies, and voila, we had an appointment - thank you Kristen!
We really enjoyed our tasting, and despite the fact that it was a sweltering 101 degrees that afternoon, the tasty bubbles combined with the great service made for a wonderful experience.
Thank you Ruby and Davies for our lovely visit, we will be back!
