When the announcement came in at 9:00 a.m. on August 23rd, the trumpeters from Calistoga High School blared and the Castello team gathered on the drawbridge went wild. In some respects, we had a collective feeling of “yes, we’ve arrived.” We asked our members to vote and they responded resoundingly. When the voting period ended, it was Castello di Amorosa that received top honors in being named “Best Tasting Room 2019”.
This is quite an honor to be nominated and quite humbling that we won!
“When we opened the doors almost thirteen years ago, I wondered how my castle would be received, as it was so unorthodox a concept,” remembers Dario Sattui. “Today we have a collection of superb estate vineyards and highly acclaimed wines. Our wines are only available at the winery or can be shipped directly to your home or business.”
The wine industry experts who partnered with 10Best editors to pick the initial nominees included Jill Barth , Shana Clarke , Ziggy Eschliman , Karen MacNeil , June Rodil , and Dynie Sanderson.
We hope you’ll bring your family and friends to enjoy a wine tasting or winery tour in the Best Tasting Room in America.
