Bonne Bastille: July 14th!

Bastille Day is always a fun celebration in the Napa Valley.  But this year, we are taking July 14th to the barricades: in and outside our Yountville tasting room!  The Cornerstone team will be participating in two events as well as commemorating the storming of the Bastille at the tasting room all day Saturday.

First and foremost, we are offering a special tasting menu for Bastille Day focusing on some our our favorite French varieties. including the 2010 Cornerstone Cellars Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc and the 2009 Stepping Stone Napa Valley Cabernet Franc.  We are also making our soirée even sweeter and bringing in a special treat from our favorite boulangerie Bouchon!  Meanwhile, Adam will be heading down to Napa to 1313 Main for Rosé Day!  From 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. guests can taste our 2011 Stepping Stone Corallina Rosé paired with carefully selected small bites along with three other producers Rosés.   

If you are in San Francisco for the weekend, Allison will be at The Old Mint for Romancing the Rhones!  From 12:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Allison will be pouring the 2011 Stepping Stone Corallina Rosé in addition to sharing the 2009 Stepping Stone Syrah and pre-releaseing the 2010 Stepping Stone Syrah!  

If you can not make any of these events, be sure gather your friends to raise a glass of Cornerstone or Stepping Stone and toast with us Vive la France!
