Que Syrah Syrah, What will be… A stunning wine at a great price!

Nestled on a gently sloping knoll on the north edge of Yountville, [...]

Starting The New Year With Gain Bay’s Oakville

Oakville is the first “Single Appellation” wine from Gain Bay and it starts the New Year with a real “BANG” – one would say 2009 vintage?  Yes, it is young, only 11 months in oak, but the owner was so excited he had to release it now.  We poured it at our “Holiday Tasting” and [...]
