WineRelease.com's November 15, 2022 Monthly Newsletter.

This month we had 116 winery updates and 67 wineries releasing wine.

Lots of wine updates since last month.

We spent the end of October in San Francisco with friends of ours from Paris. Besides the regular San Francisco attractions we spent a few days in St. Helena and it was great to get back to cooking on my BBQ.

I took Olivier and Marie to Beringer for a wine tasting and we did a blind tasting in one of their beautiful rooms and tasted two whites and four reds.

We had a great time with our ambassador Marisa as she later revealed the wines we were tasting; the Luminus Chardonnay from Oak Knoll and Reserve Chardonnay from Gamble Ranch. For the reds, we tasted the Bancroft Merlot (from Howell Mountain near our home), Private Reserve Cabernet, Knights Valley Reserve Cabernet and Marston Ranch Cabernet. It was a great tasting and Beringer is a beautiful historic place to represent the Napa Valley.

And now, onto the wine releases...
