"What a unique experience! Our private tour and tasting in the pool house with Pamela, set up by Maria D'Ambrosio at The Harvest Inn, was special and the perfect way to start a couple of days in the Napa Valley. From the unique story to the incredible wines, Pamela walked us through the JCB experience, how they make their wines, and the history of their family and their sustainable, all-natural winemaking without pesticides or chemicals. One of the most eclectic and interesting properties we experienced. The sensory wall, including touch and smell, was an interesting way to talk about how people experience wine, and a walk through the red room and the winemaking area was extraordinary. While it was a larger and more commercial operation, the experience was personal, and the wines we tasted were brilliant."
