Lilly Bollinger 1941 took over from her deceased husband the operations of Bollinger Champagne. Here's her outlook on life.
"I drink it when I'm happy and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it - unless I'm thirsty."
Certainly applies equally well to Vino.
Please drink responsibly: – sit down so you don’t spill any. Always ask for white if the carpet is light-colored!
Nope, there's no food truck here...just a really nice bottle of wine from a 'foodie' and an iconic Napa family!
• Chardonnay is the most abundant white grape variety harvested in the Napa Valley at nearly 32,000 tons. They also grow Roussanne, Gruner Veltliner, Albarino....more than 30 different white varieties!
• The average Napa Valley white wine vineyard is harvested at yields of 3 tons/acre to maximize quality -- less than half of the average yield in other parts of California.
• Nearly 25% of the acreage in the Napa Valley is planted to white varieties.
• Napa Valley rosés are produced from a wide selection of red grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Merlot, Pinot Noir and even Carignane.
