October's recommended winery mailing lists to join:
Downing Family Vineyards
In 1998 John and Tracy Downing founded Downing Family Vineyards. A small winery producing small case lots of ultra-premium Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. James Laube of Wine Spectator praised their 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon "At this point, with the 1999 vintage hitting the shelves, recommending a 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon from California is risky business. Still, here's one that proves that excellent wines were made in this cool, El Niņo-influenced year." (WineSpectator.com January 18, 2002)

Destino Wines
On February 14, 1997 Chris and Susan Calkins shared an amazing bottle of Le Montrachet on their wedding anniversary and a light went on in Chris' head. That wine inspired them to produce an ultra-premium California Chardonnay. A long time love of Napa Valley Cabernets completed their vision and the concept of Destino Wines began with the 1999 vintage.

October's recommended web site to visit:
Travel Envoy's Wine Guide
After last months recommendation of California Wineries Mall I received numerous requests for other sites I use to gather winery information. Travel Envoy's Wine Guide is another such site.
