Trailer Tasting in Napa, CA

Recently, we crammed our friends into this little vintage 1940's Westcraft trailer. It's the new tasting "room" at the Behrens & Hitchcock Co-Op in Napa, way up on Spring Mountain. Not many wine lovers are really after that hole-in-the-wall experience when it comes to wine tasting. Especially in Napa. But we drank some of Napa's best bold reds right off the kitchen sink in this old movie studio trailer (bought off ebay).




Some of our favorites/purchases included:

Relic’s Mourvedre and Grenache based ‘07 “Ritual.”
Erna Schein’s ’06 Homage to Ed Oliviera Syrah, ’06 Spare Me Cabernet, the cab based ’06 Cemetery, and the ’04 Erna Schein Red Wine.
Behrens & Hithcock’s ’04 Herrick Moulds Cabernet and ’05 Ode to Picasso.
