What is 1313 main? A bold, new kind of wine destination in Downtown Napa’s vibrant food and wine scene, 1313 Main is an intimate and sophisticated wine bar and lounge featuring over 1,300 rotating labels of fine wines offered by the taste, glass, flight or bottle, complemented by an inspired selection of artisanal small plates.
I have seen at least three dfnrefeit grape varieties that growers call Charbono. If you can trace the lineage back to John Daniel, then you’ve got the right one. Most growers can’t.Actually the demise of Inglenook started in 1964 when it was purchased by United Vintners the marketing arm of Allied Grape Growers from John Daniel. In 1969 Allied merged with Heublein with an exchange of stock, Inglenook was part of that merger. Allied was a cooperative of grape growers who had a hodgepodge of growers some great, some not so great. After 1964, the grapes from these six dozen new growers expanded the grape supply by ten fold and the original small block at Inglenook was supplemented with Charbono from a couple vineyards in Calistoga and a couple elsewhere as well as being blended down with other grape varieties. (remember the rule then was 51%) To get a real taste of Inglenook Charbono you have to go back into the late 50 s especially a string of three great ones ’58, ’59, and ’60.
I will be in Napa in late April and definitely plan to visit 1313 Main!
We’ll have to visit if Jana or I win the Napa trip!
