In this episode of a guy, a girl, and a bottle we visit the Bennett Lane winery (www.bennettlane.com), which is located on the north end of Napa Valley off Hwy 128, just past Hwy 29 in Calistoga. The
property of this winery is incredible, and the view of the surrounding mountains is amazing, there is also a few picnic tables for you to grab a bottle and kick back and enjoy the view of the
vineyard. On our visit we did something that was quite unique, we were able to blend our own bottle of wine! (This occurred under guidance of Rob Hunter, Bennett Lanes' resident winemaker) and this
is an experience that is available to the public in small groups, check their website for the Bennett Lane Custom Blend Experience. It was a lot of fun, but since we are not wine makers, only wine
drinkers, we were worried that we would blend up some kind of swill. Check out the podcast to hear what happens, and to see if we are going to drop the podcasting gig and become wine makers
ourselves. In addition to our wine blending experience we tasted some amazing wines, two of which are their signature wines. The Maximus and the Primus Reserve Cabernet, both were amazing wines.
Randy Lynch not only is the owner of a great winery, but he also is the only winery in Napa Valley to own a NASCAR race team. You can check out more about the team and follow them as they compete on
the NASCAR West Circuit. The song for this episode is by Natalie Gelman and the song is Never Had You. Don’t forget, if you like this song drop the artist a line and let them know what you
think and tell them you heard them on A Guy, A Girl, and a Bottle wine podcast! Lastly, we'd like to say a special thanks to our sponsors for this episode Hamilton Beach. Check out the latest line of
electric mixers, just in time for the holidays! 3340 Hwy 128 Calistoga, CA 94515 (707) 942-6684 View Larger Map Cheers! Joe and Pam Powered by Qumana

Hey there guys and girls, here we go again! Wine Blogging Wednesday! This month's contest is alternative wine packaging. For most people that means boxed wine. In fact, the Boxed-Wine-Guy is hosting
this months' event (Thanks Roger!) but Pam & I are not your average wine drinkers. Nope, not us. We have to be different. We went out and found some wine in a can. With a straw. The horror!

Hey there guys and girls, here we go again! Wine Blogging Wednesday! This month's contest is alternative wine packaging. For most people that means boxed wine. In fact, the Boxed-Wine-Guy is hosting
this months' event (Thanks Roger!) but Pam & I are not your average wine drinkers. Nope, not us. We have to be different. We went out and found some wine in a can. With a straw. The horror!
Although it is wine, technically speaking it is sparkling wine in a can, and comes to us from Francis Ford Coppola and the wine is his daughter's namesake, Sofia. The Sofia Mini comes in a package of
four cans, neatly packaged in a hexagonal box, and retails for about $12.99. Following the hip trendy set, you can also find the cans for purchase at your local disco. We wonder out loud if Karen and
Karla from the Rumor Girls are listening as this seems like a product right up their alley. Listen now as we give you are impressions of this marketers dream product. Have you tried Sofia? Let us
know! Give us your thoughts on the wine-in-a-can concept. Music by Bloom - Falling. A Guy and a Girl Comment Line - 408-627-7796 Skype - Aguyandgirl SPONSORS: Sponsorship provided by Folgers.

Viva Zinfandel! A few weeks ago we attended the ZAP Festival (www.zinfandel.org), a.k.a the Zinfadel Advocates & Producers Festival in San Francisco, this festival is completely out of control.
To give you an idea of how big this event is, there were approximately 9,000 attendees, 273 wineries, and 550 wines featured, if you were to hit every single one, and even if you didn't actually
consume the wine but only swirled the wine in your mouth they still would have to haul you out on a wheel barrow. Oh, yeah, did I mention the 1,500 pounds of cheese? We really enjoy going the ZAP
festival, but it can be a bit overwhelming which is why it is a good idea to look in the program pick the producers that your intrested in trying and just go for it (it also helps make the decision
process easier if there is a sexy beautiful girl pouring the wine). If you are planning a trip out to wine country next year and Zinfadel is a favorite of yours I think you should definatly consider
planning it around this 4-day extravaganza event in late January, you will not be disappointed! Well, because there was no way Joe and I was able to taste all the wines and talk about it, we decided
to change things up a bit on this show and we simply recorded random bits and pieces from the show floor. We hope that you like it, we will return to the regular format for the next show. Of the
wines we tried, we picked some of our favorites, such as: Brown Estate Vineyards - www.brownestate.com (a favorite from last year Barefoot Cellers - www.barefootwine.com (another favorite from last
year and has become a regular at meal times at the guy and girl family dinners). I love these guys because their booth was fun, and they knew how to draw a crowd, believe it or not Elvis is
apparently not dead. Javalina Leap Vineyard & Winery www.javelinaleapwinery.com here is where they had the beautiful girl pouring the wine but this wine was not just a pretty face it was down
right amazing. If you can get your hands on a bottle, check it out for sure. Frank Family Vineyards - www.frankfamilyvineyards.com We don't want to say too much about these guys because they are
going to be featured in an upcoming episode, so stay tuned! Our Artist featured this week is Black Lab, and the song is Ectasy. You can find more music from along with other great artists on the
Podsafe Music Network http://music.podshow.com. Thanks to everyone who helped make this episode - special thanks to John from the CorkDork blog (http://corkdork.typepad.com) for spotting some of the
great wines and sharing those with us. Check out his blog for full details (he even liked the Adobe Road Zin that we raved about!) Cheers! A Guy and a Girl Comment Line - 408-627-7796 Skype -

We are getting back in the swing of things and after the ZAP festival in San Francisco, we caught with an old friend, Tim Elliot of Winecast who coincidentally is hosting this month's Wine Blogging
Wednesday. This month's challenge is much easier than the last time Tim hosted a WBW, and the theme this time around is New World Syrahs. (New World refers to areas that are relatively new to the
wine making world. This includes the Americas, as well as New Zeland and Australia.) Our choice is the 2005 Little Penguin Shiraz. Listen to our podcast, and find out why we disagree on this bottle
of wine. If you like the show (or not) take a moment to review our show on iTunes, we'd appreciate it. Sponsorship provided by Folgers. Get your free gourmet samples at www.folgers.com/podshow The
song for this episode is by Matthew Ebel and the song is Drive Away, from the CD Beer and Coffee. Don’t forget, if you like this song drop the artist a line and let them know what you think and
