1331 Buhman Ave
In 1873, John Jacob Buhman became one of Napa’s early wine pioneers when he planted his first grapevine. The property became best known as historic Buhman Cattle Ranch before descendant Don Buhman reintroduced grape growing 20 years ago. At first, he sold his cherished Carneros grapes to brands such as Mumm, Rombauer, Sterling, and Schramsberg. But he was so successful that he started making his own wine, including Chardonnay, Rose, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

We had a great trip to Napa with Dylan - a nice guy with a great sense of humor. Our trip started out with a long delay on one of the bridges do to an earlier incident. Dylan asked us if anyone had plans where they needed to get back by a certain time - none did. He didn't shorten our time at the wineries or during lunch. We just had a longer tour do to the traffic problems in the morning. We had a wonderful group of 11 on our bus with everyone being very social. I was very happy with all three wineries we visited. On the return trip to San Francisco Dylan handed a bottle of wine to the couple celebrating their 40th anniversary and another to a person celebrating a birthday. The 2 bottles were shared with the whole bus on the trip back. Dylan even got the whole bus singing Brandy you're a fine girl. I highly recommend the tour.
