A Word From Our Winemaker
Greetings, Mumm Napa family!
Harvest is here once again! I’ve said it before, but starting harvest always feels like New Year’s Day. It’s the kick-off to a new vintage and a chance to showcase the best of what the growing season has delivered. Every year brings different challenges and opportunities, but the things that never change are the energy from the team and the pride we all put into our work. It’s inspiring to see everyone work together to achieve our common goal – making delicious wines!
September also means the release of one of my favorite wines – Sparkling Pinot Noir. For my family, the tradition is to serve it on Thanksgiving, but I always keep some extra around for other occasions. It’s the perfect wine for a late summer barbecue. September in Napa can be quite warm and I’m not ready to break out the big reds yet.
Our gift to you this month is something no sparking wine fan should be without, a bouchon, used to re-seal an open bottle of sparkling wine. I keep a collection of these in my kitchen, perfect for those times when I just want a glass. I can put the rest of the bottle in the fridge and the bouchon will keep it fresh. I hope you enjoy your new wines and invite you to join me in raising a glass to another harvest. Thank you for being part of our family!
Cheers!
Tami
Head Winemaker
