Almost daily, we have people ask us for a referral for luxury gift baskets which are built around wine. Not surprisingly, there are tons of choices for quality wines when you’re talking about California’s Napa Valley, probably the most historic and highest quality wine region in the United States.
Even within Napa Valley though, we can see some wineries which we respect more than others. One winery we like quite a bit is Corison Winery. Started by Cathy Corison in 1987, the winery sits in an outstanding spot directly on highway 12 (the main drag through Napa Valley) and produces perhaps the most elegant and restrained wines in the entire valley. These are very Bordeaux in style and during the best years for the winery, they offer a truly incredible look into what is possible given the Napa Valley’s outstanding growing conditions. Scores range well into the high 90 point range and these wines are imminently collectible in good years.
