Panelists are second generation winemakers at their wineries and delighted to be working with Cabernet Sauvignon—a character-filled, age-worthy, completely delicious wine variety ennobling Napa Valley. Each will pour a 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon.

The seminar, most appropriately, is in the mountain fastness of Mayacamas Vineyards in the Winery Library above its Red Cellar. Lunch is on the terrace of the new Hospitality Center where a family-style live fire repast of local seasonal fare prepared al fresco by Chef Kevin O’Connor concludes our program.
