Napa

On a recent trip to Napa Valley we discovered an amazing winery called Castello di Amorosa located on North St. Helena Hwy, Calistogo, California. This winery is 121,000 square foot castle with 107 rooms that took 14 years to build. This castello has everything you would expect to find in an authentic 12th century tuscan style castle winery. The castle produces 15,000 cases of wine which are only sold at the winery.
We of course did a wine tasting and had the pleasure of meeting Michael Skylar who works at the winery. Michael served us well in the wine tasting with great conversation about wine and the winery but in addition his knowledge of music was extensive. It happened to be 9-08-09 and the Beatles re-mastered CD’s was to be released on 9-9-09 and my business partner (John) was wearing a John Lennon t shirt. All this lead to the discussion on music. Michael Skylar had a musical background introduced to him by his father Sunny Skylar (check the internet). Sunny Skylar had an amazing career in music. So while we were in Napa on a business trip (TwistedCorkscrew.com) we discovered a great new winery and enjoyed an interesting and informative conversation with Michael Skylar. This is a must for anyone going to Napa, make sure you stop by and say “Hi” to Michael.
