OPUS ONE in Napa - May 28

During this trip to Napa, we enjoyed wine tasting at only two wineries. One is Turnbull and another is the world-famous Opus One. Both are the winery we missed 4 years ago. All photos are from Opus One.

At most wineries, we are likely to try 3 or 4 kinds of wine for about $10 to $20 per person. At Opus One, on the other hand, the testing is stupidly expensive and 4 oz. (above photo) of Cabernet Sauvignon cost $25. I thought, to be candid, that it was not worth tasting for a person like me who could not tell the difference from other wineries. But they provided the nice space at their upstairs terrace and we were allowed to bring the glass up there and relax as much as we wanted with a perfect view of Napa valley, which, I have to admit, was worthwhile.
Don't get me wrong. It is not that the wine itself was bad. My partner, who is a sort of 'self-appointed' connoisseur mentioned the wine we tasted was really good and it became more graceful and tasty as time goes by.
