We finally had the chance to visit one of the last family owned wineries in Napa Valley - Trefethen Vineyards.
The interior is quite soothing and pleasurable for wine tasting.
In 1979, the Trefethen Chardonnay helped put Napa Valley on the map by winning a Gold award at the World Wine Olympics in Paris, France.
This upset some of the French so much that they requested a rematch in 1980 - and the Trefethen Chardonnay won again!
Here is a copy of the letter French wine make Robert-J. Drouhin wrote requesting the rematch.
