Premiere Napa Valley ® 2010
Napa Valley Vintners' Annual Mid-Winter Barrel Auction for the Trade
Sampling one-of-a-kind lots at
Premiere Napa Valley
It's become an annual winter tradition in Napa Valley. With the crunch of harvest over and the wines resting in the cellar, vintners look forward each February to rolling out the red carpet for their best friends in the business for a weekend called Premiere Napa Valley.
At Premiere Napa Valley, members of the Napa Valley Vintners gather to offer select trade the opportunity to taste from barrel and bid on small lots of wines available only to Premiere attendees, with each sold to only one bidder. These 200 wines are produced and offered in five, ten- or 20-case lots, and are specially labeled to highlight their rarity.
Perhaps just as important as the wines offered are the relationships that are forged and rekindled at Premiere Napa Valley. Wine sales are built on alliances, and this event brings together the powerhouses of the wine industry, literally under one roof.
Premiere Napa Valley is a great way to not only strengthen your portfolio or wine list with wines your customers will only be able to get from you, but to network with other top wine professionals and the people behind America's most renowned wine region.
Premiere Napa Valley 2010 was held February 19-20, 2010.
