The frontier spirit of California was always something I loved in our history. Maybe I'll move back someday.

This article really, REALLY makes me want to buy a bottle of Inglenook, open it, and read the article again. Great work.

This is great Matt, humbling in the detail as always. I visited the chateau/tasting room in 2011 and they were very excited at the time about the impending push into restoring the inglenook name. I wish I had been a wine nerd at the time since I'd have gotten so much more out of the experience but it was still absolutely lovely. We loved our flight of the 2007 Rubicon, CASK Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc and their 2009 Blancaneaux.

Hey Matt, your research on the historical facts is so thorough, I'm surprised that there isn't any mention of the accolades Gustave Neibaum received when he took his Inglenook wines to the World's Fair of Paris in 1889 - and also equally impressive, the fame of John Daniel's 1941 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon?

This is the best article I have read here since the To Kalon article. I printed that one up for the staff as the history of THAT vineyard is fascinating. The history of Napa is fascinating, and articles like this remind us what how this valley came to be. I am embarrassed to say that I was in the group of sommeliers that poo pooed Napa Cabernet's in the past. After being here for almost 6 years, I am happy to admit how wrong I was.

1958 Inglenook - I was so lucky and fortunate to be able to taste this. Easily one of the best wines I've tried to date!
