We are a community whose passion grows in the vineyard; that develops in wooden barrels, and gets better with age.
Our mission is to educate; to bring you into the vineyard; to let you live our dream. Be a part of the lifecycle, become a member of our community.
Jim Barbour recently took me through the vineyard and discussed Veraison with me. Veraison is the stage where the grapes begin to turn from green to purple. It is a very visual cue that shows us which bunches of grapes are ripening too slowly to make great wine. Those clusters will have to be thinned out.
I love picking Jim’s brain about what is happening in the vineyard. He is a patient teacher!

The Napa Valley exudes a feeling known to many as “an attitude of abundance.” Adopt a Grape wants to share some of what makes Napa unique and special; the people, places, food and wine. Things that make Wine Country what it is.
