Andrew Lane Wines – St Helena / Deer Park – Napa

Andrew Lane Wines.   A family winery with a 30+ year history in Napa valley.  What started as the father’s hobby, became a family business.  Drew Dickson is a very accommodating host, and more importantly a wine maker on the rise.  He has 7 Vintages to date and they all show well, and are only getting more and more interesting and Fun to Drink!  Drew will tell you everything about the wines, including his blending techniques, vineyard locations and his forecast of wine trends to come or to yet be invented.

Don’t be surprised if you schedule a tasting and it turns into a party.  When I guest visited Andrew Lane, a party of 6 Rhode Island women on a get-a-way were visiting,  when they left we had laughed hard, and all 5 bottles we “tasted” were empty… So you may come for breakfast or just a tasting but you’ll find the ambiance inviting, the company warm, and the wines delicious.

Andrew Lane has had write-ups in Food + Wine Magazine & has a Cab Franc that was top rated in Napa Valley by the Preiser Report.

Keep an eye on Andrew Lane and if you want a break from the hum-drum tasting rooms….give them a call.
