The Hilltop

On June 29, 2010, the Sweede family and a few special friends from work came to visit The Hilltop Winery.

Our time is always too short, but we made the most of the time we have with our friends.

Amongst the many wines we tasted the following stood out:


  • 1990 Chateau Grand Mayne, Grand Cru Classe
  • 2003 Surh Luchtel Mosaique, Red Wine, Napa Valley
  • 2004 Staglin, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford, Napa Valley
  • 2005 Alcina, Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
  • 2006 Kosta Browne, Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast

The weather was intense to say the least, sometimes you couldn’t see across the pool. That’s life when you’re up in the clouds, literally and figuratively speaking.
