In a story that urges consumers to stay home amidst the pandemic, Forbes also suggests using some of this downtime to map out where you’d like to visit once travel resumes and what essentials to stock up on (instead of toilet paper). Interestingly, the first item featured, the Chateau Montelena “Wine Shelter” package, will not only help virtually transport consumers to beautiful Calistoga but includes an in-person tasting experience. In addition to a mix-and-match case of 6 or 12 bottles of current vintage wines and a copy of the 2008 film “Bottle Shock,” the package includes a complimentary tasting flight at Chateau Montelena once the tasting room re-opens.

Chateau Montelena
Calistoga, Napa Valley, California
In 1976 Chateau Montelena put California at the forefront of the wine world. That year a who's-who of the French wine establishment gathered in Paris for a blind tasting of French and American wines. When the scores were tallied, the top-ranking white wine was Chateau Montelena's 1973 Chardonnay. Montelena today continues to be a quality benchmark in Napa Valley, producing some of the finest Cabernet and Chardonnay in California.
