Fans of Mark Aubert’s amazingly sublime chardonnays and pinot noirs should be happy to hear Aubert and his wife will finally have a winery of their own, having purchased a new facility in Calistoga, right along the Silverado Trail.
It is slated to open in January 2011 after an extensive renovation to both the winery and visitor’s area.
A winemaker and consultant for some very fancy names, including Peter Michael, Sloan, Colgin and Bryant, Aubert started his own brand in 1999, originally producing just one chardonnay. But wow. From day one, Aubert’s wines are the sort people talk reverently about in hushed tones.
He now makes six single-vineyard chards and five pinots from vineyards (including three estate) in both the Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast.
