| The Bearshead Napa Valley DVD |

Why
be a Wine Geek, when you could be
a Guru?
The complete
guide to the Terroir, History, Winemaking
and Tours of this beautiful place
and its wines.
"a
lavishly filmed tour de force"

| Latest Review |
What
I like most about the DVD is its depth
of information about the Napa Valley...
Even for many who live here, including
myself, there are nuances which it takes
nearly a lifetime to fully experience
about the many truly different areas
which make up the Napa Valley

Get Christmas Sorted....
We
are offering free
gift-wrap and free delivery on
all orders from the website, AND a
20%
discount if
you buy 5 or more Bearshead Napa Valley
DVDs- which means that you can celebrate
your efficient holiday shopping by
using the money left over to buy yourself
a decent bottle of wine for your own
stocking.
If the recession has amped up your
inner Scrooge (showing in 3D at the
Cameo
until Dec 3) here are a sack-load
of reasons to shut him up:
Minimal
carbon footprint on shipping to all
your far flung friends (4oz/DVD)
"Great
gift for all your oenophile friends"(St
Helena Star)
See 44 top Napa Valley wineries, 88
top winemakers, viticulturists &
winery owners, without spending a
cent on gas.
"a lavishly filmed tour de
force"(ForbesLife)
Information even YOU don't know despite
living here for years.
"tour is like a fine vintage
wine!" (Amazon)
The only way to drink and drive through
the Valley.
"incredibly insightful and
useful tool" (Robert Bath, Master
Sommelier)
Beautiful views of the Valley
for people who simply haven't made
it here yet.
"Perfect for the wine neophyte
as well as the cognoscenti" (Peter
Marks, Master of Wine)
The
perfect souvenir for all your holiday
guests. Need
we say more?
....and Get Out On the
Town!
Having sorted
out all your gift-giving (click
here if you just remembered someone
else) you now have TIME
to enjoy all the excitements this
month has to offer (see
calendar). Prices for these events
are down significantly over last year,
and many are FREE.
For those of
you who are still kicking yourselves
for not getting tickets to last month's
CIA celebration of "Street Food"
(whose $1,350 tickets obviously sold
out almost immediately) relief is
at hand: Napa's Taco Michoacan Trucks
sell delicious street food from $1.50.
Our Very Best
Wishes for Peace and Holiday Good
Cheer!
Cheers!

Charity
wine auctions are a great source for rare and
unusual bottlings. While prices can get quite
steep at the big name live auctions (although
you shouldn't forget the tax breaks, nor the karmic
returns on your philanthropic self indulgences..
), it is often well worth checking out the attendant
silent auctions for more affordable gems.
We make no guarantees that this calendar is comprehensive,
but would be very grateful for any suggestions
of upcoming events that we should know about.
