TTG Grand Oakville Tasting 2019 Recap

Summary: Two weeks ago the TTG crew had the opportunity to invade Napa for one of the most prestigious tastings of the year. This event is put on once a year by Joyce Stavert, Executive Director of the Oakville Growers Association. This tasting is a grand reminder that it is important to take advantage of both the perks, but more importantly the community that our industry commands. This event reminded us how important it is to not only keep tasting and trying new things, but to approach travel the same way. Be it Brooklyn, NY or our neighbors over in Napa. The hospitality industry thrives on history, culture, passion and much more. Without seeing it through the lens of others we would not be bringing to our listeners what we promised...perspective! We bump elbows with the likes of Heidi Barrett (Winemaker), Andrea Robinson (MS), Nick Gislason (Screaming Eagle), and more. We also were privileged with sitting in on the Masterclass led by Oakville legends where we taste through 4 vertical flights ranging from Groth to Paradigm. Needless to say this event was magical and has really lit a fire under our asses to continue to push for greatness as it is well within reach. We have all of the necessary pieces to make world class wines of this caliber. Tune in and let us know if you would come to a Livermore Valley Grand Tasting in the caves at Wente Vineyards?
