Though recent weather may have us fooled, summer has indeed begun. To celebrate, we’re introducing our Summer Wine Feature: The Hess Collection.

Wine, art, and vineyards create a singular identity for The Hess Collection Winery; the synthesis of these elements show founder Donald Hess’ dedication to producing great wines from great vineyards. Hess established his first Mount Veeder vineyard in 1978, which marked the beginning of The Hess Collection Winery in the Napa Valley. The winery was founded on Hess’ belief that quality and goodness are the best practices.

Enjoy these wines for the months of July, August, and September, handpicked by our beverage manager Jennifer Hennessey:
