The Vibe: 

This intimate specialty wine shop on Lincoln Avenue in the heart of Calistoga's downtown offers drop-in tastings (the $10 fee is waived with bottle purchase) Thurs-Mon 12-5, and Fri-Sat 12-6.  The shop is associated with boutique winemakers Calistoga Cellars, who focus on select Napa Valley varietals, and discounts and special deals on bottles frequently abound.  Cheese pairings are sometimes available on weekend afternoons, so check the website to find out if you can expect that during your visit. The courtyard is available for small group events.
