With the 2022 vintage tucked away in barrels, concrete eggs, and stainless steel tanks, and seasonal produce filling the farmers’ markets and restaurant kitchens preparing to welcome guests for a feast, we approach the Thanksgiving holiday with a deep sense of gratitude for another bountiful harvest year. With Napa Valley showing its splendid beauty colored with gold, saffron, and crimson hued Autumn leaves, there is much for which to be grateful.
