"After chatting with Ardure's winemaker Jason Ruppert, Tank Garage Winery began experimenting with crystal fermentation; its first crystal-fermented wine, a cabernet sauvignon retailing at $75, is set to be released on October 14, and the crystal is removed before bottling so the wine is purchased crystal-free." - Dianne de Guzman
"I found Bertus van Zyl at Tank Garage Winery excels at turning unexpected grapes into quaffable pétillant naturel wines; his barbera pét‑nat is bright and fruity with pear, strawberry, and Sweet‑Tart candy notes, the lineup changes often so move quickly if you want to try it — about $40." - Maria C. Hunt
"Housed in a run-down garage decked out with gas pumps, vintage Indian motorbikes and road-trip memorabilia, this Napa Valley stop pairs nostalgic, Americana décor with a selection of crisp whites and classic Napa cabernet sauvignons; some wines carry playful names such as Roll the Bones and Take It Easy." - SilverKris
