The Crane Assembly Wine Tasting with Owners Vail and Leslie Miller

If all be true that I do think,

There are five reasons we should drink:

Good wine - a friend - or being dry -

Or lest we should be by and by -

Or any other reason why.

Henry Aldrich 1647 – 1710

Continuing our study of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon this month we will be featuring The Crane Asselbly Winery from Dr. Crane Vineyard in St. Helena with special guests owners Vail and Leslie Miller

This small family-owned winery is making outstanding wines at a fraction of the cost of those that are buying wine from the other owner of the original Dr. Crane Vineyard which is owned by Andy Beckstoffer.  The Crane Assembly is not only one of the best Cabernet Sauvignon producers in Napa Valley but because they have owned the vineyard for almost 100 years they can offer their top wines at a fraction of the cost of the others making wines from Dr Crane Vineyard.

This tasting is limited to 14 tasters and the fee for this event which includes dinner is $350 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.
