Introducing Wineries to "Sippin' on Top of the World"

Jun 11 Posted by David White in David's Blog

Yesterday I went to wineries along Silverado Trail in Napa to introduce Sippin' and find out the names of people to contact in each locale for possibilities of them offering Sippin' in their tasting rooms and shops. Wineries I visited included Judd Hill, already accepting copies for interested customers, Robert Sinskey, Hagafen, Darioush, Clos Du Val, Luna, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, Chimney Rock, and Cliff Lede. I look forward to connecting with the buyers of each of those wineries' shops and seeing about Sippin' becoming available to visitors to the wine country.

I had a lovely visit with Tom Scott of Tom Scott Winery offering me a wonderful Cabernet in exchange for a hard copy of Sippin'. Tom and I go back a long way, and it was good to see him after a good many years.

In addition to contacting these wineries, I will be in touch first with other wineries and vineyards along Silverado Trail and Hiway 29 and then start heading over to Sonoma. These are fun times, sharing Sippin' with people seeing it for the first time.
