Nice notes, sounds like you had a great trip.

Incidentally, Silver Oak actually makes about 100k cases of Alexander valley and Napa Valley cab combined, which is a lot. Also, the winery in the movie Bottle Shock was Chateau Montelena, which won the white wine competition at the judgement of Paris tasting. Stags Leap won the red wine comp, but wasn't really featured in the movie.

Right, you learn all about that. Although there is a scene in the movie that features the front door to one of the buildings.

Our guide was really old and must've been delirious, because he said 30k cases. That mustve been the 1980 script.

True. And Warren Winiarski sold the winery in 2007, so he isn't making the wines at Stags Leap anymore.
