Napa Bound documents my travels to Napa Valley wineries and how I felt about each one. I will provide a personal assessment that describes my perception of the winery. I will also include other wine-related posts, such as what I have opened, wineries from other areas, storage tips, etc. Please enjoy this blog responsibly.

May 24, 2014 – Wines for a party
It was time for my sister’s birthday.She was giving a back yard BBQ party with ribs, and the guests each
brought something to complete the meal.One guest brought a cake, others brought salads and slaws, there were
the twice-baked potatoes, and I helped cook skillet potatoes.And I brought four nice bottles of wine.There are thousands of wines you can buy for
under $20, but I was able to shop sales to bring some amazing quality to this
party.Everyone’s favorite wine cost me
$21, but the other three ranged in price from $13 to $19.Both my sister and my mother are big fans of
Cabernet Franc, so I brought a 2010 Provenance to satisfy them.Here is the list of wines: 2010 Provenance Cabernet Franc (everyone’s favorite) 2008 Boete Cheval Rouge (a Meritage-style blend) 2010 Saint Clement Napa Valley Merlot (my favorite) 2010 Angel’s Secret Petite Sirah (the best value)
