Review of V. Sattui Winery

TIP: If you want to experience V.Sattui it's best to come right when it opens or right before it closes because in between it is super crowded and it isn't much of a delight when there is a ton of people and long wait for everything (wine tasting, deli, BBQ, etc.) COME EARLY if possible.

Now since I got that out of the way I have to say I completely adore this place!!! The first time I came Gabe took great care of me and friends. The second time I came it was a coincidence Gabe was my host again and this time really shined with his knowledge and keen sense on recommending great wine. More than the Gabe being awesome, the wine was something to think about. When I tried their Madiera I thought about that wine once a day until I came back to Sattui the second time around and it was still amazing the second time around. If you check in on Yelp, you get a two-for-one tasting for $15.

Their deli and BBQ is on the pricey side but it is completely worth the money because everything was filled with flavor. The only thing I have to slightly complain about was their desserts. I tried the tiramisu and chocolate chip whoopie pie which did not satisfy my sweet tooth. The tiramisu was soaked a little too much in some liqueur and the whoopie pie tasted too processed.

I do recommend getting artichoke cream cheese dip, their chicken pesto sandwich, and their crab cakes. Their mustard shrimp had a hint of horseradish which completely threw me for a loop; it was okay.

I love V.Sattui so much I will be getting a membership soon since it is very worth it and I like to receive complimentary tastings. I would have gotten one sooner but I can't afford having more than wine membership at a time.

V.Sattui is a great winery to visit and it sets the bar high for other wineries in the area. It's a great place to enjoy Napa at its best! ^___^
