The pond behind Chateau Garage (…yeah, right!!). Actually this was photographed by one of Chateau Garage’s wine makers at Chateau Montelena in Napa.

 

 

Allan Colby, originally from upstate New York, has been involved with Chateau Garage since our '98 vintage. He is also our chief resident Francophile... or more accurately, semi-resident, since he and his wife recently have bought a second home in southwest France, where they plan to spend half the year. His tastes in wine are wide-ranging (i.e., he'll drink anything), but he's most attracted to wines that well balanced. Most California wine is greatly over-priced, he claims, especially when compared to Cahors and the other local vintages he drinks in France for the equivalent of $6 or $7 a bottle.
