It’s another holding of Trinchero Family Estates located in Napa Valley directly off of Highway 29 very close to one of my favorite restaurants – Mustards Grill. If you’re looking to taste their wines you can find it at Napa Cellars. This same winery also produces three wine blends and four varietals under the name Menage à Trois, named the “Wine Brand of the Year” by the wine/beverage industry, and was one of the top-selling red wines in the United States by 2010. Today Folie à Deux produces a wide variety of wines, which include Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. This passion compelled them to create a boutique winery with the named Folie à Deux, meaning “a passion shared by two.” Their combined passion resulted in a very well established winery with many noteworthy wines.īy 2004, Folie à Deux Wines was acquired by Trinchero Family Estates, the same company that owns Ménage à Trois. Folie à Deux Chardonnayįolie à Deux Wines was established in 1981 in the Sonoma Valley Wine Region by two psychiatrists who shared a love for wines. After lunch, we were off to visit a few tasting rooms, theirs included, to try a few new wines. As luck would have it, their sister winery and tasting room was just a short distance down the road. The wine we chose to accompany our meal was Folie à Deux Chardonnay. It was another hot summer day, so salads, a cold soup, and seared scallops were in the offing.
It was Father’s Day, and we were in Napa Valley just south of St. Red or white, it’s always a conundrum when there are so many good wines around.
