Thanks for the Mention AJ! YOU ROCK!!!
Wow — the Napa Rose news is what got my attention. My wife and I have had the pleasure of dining there twice, and the experiences were literally the finest we’ve ever experienced.
Everyone who helped us was outstanding – especially our server, who was exceptional.
Ok, I think the only word missing in all that is “amazing”. 🙂
I only hope that they can find someone who can keep the level of service and food as Mr. Jordan did.
My husband and I had the great pleasure of taking an Intro to Wine Tasting class from Mr. Jordan himself during this year’s California Food & Wine Festival at Disney’s California Adventure. He was personable, enthusiastic, a wealth of information, and put us beginners totally at ease. It was the absolute highlight of the festival for us and so much fun. We learned a lot and drank some great wines! 🙂 I’m sorry to see him leave Napa Rose and Disney but wish him the best in the new winery and other ventures. I’m definitely going to buy a bottle of the first vintage!
